“The book THE HEART’S NOTE is a passionate declaration. It is a fifty-year search for love throughout the corners of the world. However, it is not an escapade in the throes of romantic love, rather it is a genuine search, looking into the eyes and hearts of millions of people around the Globe, to find the open-ness of heart that we all deeply desire and respect as utterly authentic. This ‘love’ declares the knowledge of an exquisite power, for if we can soul-surf this time of the dawning of Aquarius, if we can soul-stride this era of shifting paradigms by fully honouring the heart, an heroic act will occur.” Published by FINDHORN PRESS 2010

“In the “war” on cancer, we are fighting a losing battle for one simple reason: We’re focusing on the wrong target. As a physician I was trained to focus on the tumor–to burn, poison or cut it out, and then wait, watch and pray for the cancer to stay at bay. Newer gene-targeted treatments will help to improve chemotherapy and improve survival rates, but they won’t prevent cancer in the first place or even prevent it from coming back once you’ve had it. Hope is not the only way to straddle the scary territory between remission and recurrence. There is a different way of thinking about how to treat the system, not just the cancer that holds promise for a proactive approach to helping both prevent occurrence as well as recurrence…”

“Alice Herz-Sommer is 106 years old. As well as being the second oldest person living in London, England – she is more significantly the world’s oldest survivor of Hitler’s holocaust…Yet despite all that has befallen her, Alice insists that she has never, ever hated the Nazis, and she never will…she has seen enough in her life to know all too well that hatred eats the soul of the hater, not the hated… Alice survived through music… Still today, she speaks with great pride and passion of playing more than 100 concerts inside the concentration camp and she likens that experience, both for the performers and their imprisoned audience as being close to the divine. Alice is unequivocal in stating that music preserved her sanity and her life — while bringing hope into the lives of countless others. To this day Alice never tires of saying; “Music saved my life and Music saves me still.” “

“Nicholas Roerich (October 9, 1874 — December 13, 1947) is generally known for his paintings (of which there are around 7,000) but he was also a philosopher, archaeologist, educationalist, writer and cultural leader. He was involved in the building of the first Buddhist Temple in Russia in St Petersburg.
