“Yet over the years I have seen it happen all too often, while subbing in elementary schools, art classes and even witnessing it first hand in art galleries — judgment is still such a heavy part of the way we perceive beauty. At the beginning of each class I tell students to take the inner critic, roll every part of that critic and judgment up into a ball and toss in the trash because we don’t have room for it in this space. I work hard to explain and demonstrate that art is more than just what you see on a page, a huge misconception. Yes, there is an end product but that is only one dimension of the process of creating.”

“Disease–dis-ease–is the result of energy blockages caused by stressful experiences we haven’t fully worked through, allowed ourselves to feel, and really accepted. Healing comes from an aware detachment from those past experiences. In other words, to be healed means to be made whole–to be made holy–which is to experience reconnection with our One Self… We are healed and become healthy.”

This classic tale, told with heart and humor, speaks to the peaceful warrior in each of us. Countless readers have been moved to laughter, tears, and moments of illumination as they rediscover life’s larger meaning and purpose. Journey with Dan on the peaceful warrior’s path to unreasonable happiness. Find out for yourself why this book changes lives.

Michael Brown shares some questions and answers about the Presence Process with us in this wonderfully done article. “…by entering The Presence Process, we become aware of a time-based aspect to our consciousness that is seemingly sabotaging us, and in the same breath, we are instructed how to overcome this predicament.”

“A blockbuster disaster film ‘2012’ due for global release on 13th November, 2009 states that on 21st December 2012, the world will come to an end. The film, many books and fevered speculation on the internet quote the end of the five-thousand year cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar, ending on this date as prophesying a global catastrophe. But leaders of the Mayan people of Central America, whose ancestors devised the intricate calendar, disagree. They say that whilst marking the end of an era, it is our materialistic world-view and lifestyles rather than the material world itself that may be transformed.”
