A Place to Stand is available as an ebook

Posted on by Frank DeMarco

Bob Friedman tells me that my book about 10 prep sessions at The Monroe Institute is now up on Kindle. I haven’t entered the ebook world, so i don’t know how one downloads it, but he assures me that anyone who owns a Kindle already knows. It is part of his Rainbow Ridge Books line.

I’m very pleased to have this long-term project off my desk. Although published out of order, the chronological order of the sessions reported on and digested was this:

A Place to Stand (2000)

The Sphere and the Hologram (2001-02)

Chasing Smallwood (2005-06)

Afterlife Conversations with Hemingway (2006-2011)

The Cosmic Internet (2011)

Still to come (maybe) are a book of transcripts and commentary on ten sessions in 2004 in which Rita Warren participated, and one or two books from the material that came in such a spate in 2006 but has not yet been digested and sorted into something more usable.

I asked guidance, not so long ago, if it was really worthwhile to continue to publish work that wasn’t meeting a huge response (to put it mildly) and was asked which i would prefer — to die leaving materials that could never be assembled by anyone, or die leaving assembled manuscripts whether or not they were published.

Wise guys!

Bob Friedman, my old partner at Hampton Roads, now has Rainbow Ridge Books. He has published two of my previous books, The Cosmic Internet and Afterlife Conversations with Hemingway, and now is going to publish an ebook for me, which we’re calling A Place to Stand.  This is a transcript with commentary about ten black-box sessions I did at The Monroe Institute back in autumn of the year 2000.  Cover by his talented son Jonathan.

 

An interview about how I have used the black-box at TMI

Posted on by Frank DeMarco

With the able assistance of Mike George (well, to be honest, ONLY through the able assistance of Mike George), I was able to get this youtube clip uploaded.

It shows me being interviewed in January by TMI trainer and booth monitor Patty Ray Avalon, a small part of which she used in her presentation to the  Monroe Institute’s Professional Division the following month on the uses of the black box..

Supersoul

Very intelligent book.

Christmas came early. In the mail from England I received a copy from the author of this brand new book called Supersoul, and what a treat it is. He reasons, he analyzes, he compares, and he brings his own experiences into the mix. A special treat for me, as it is the first time I can remember someone incorporating the ideas from The Cosmic Internet. In what I take as a high compliment indeed, he says that as he read it, “I alternated between compelling resonance and fierce resistance.” In other words, he took it seriously enough to wrestle with it. What more could an  author ask?

As I said, an early Christmas this year. I read it through in two days, and liked ever bit of it.

 

How to be miserable

Posted on by Frank DeMarco

Whew!

This one is brutally honest. No sugar-coating, no bullshit, no soft-pedaling. I didn’t even have to really read it; skimming the points was enough, because everything in it was straightforward and right to the point. (Ask me how I know this is true. Ask me how I recognize the things we do to sabotage our own happiness.)

http://www.alternet.org/personal-health/14-habits-highly-miserable-people?page=0%2C0

The (clever and eye-catching) title is

The 14 Habits of Highly Miserable People

How to succeed at self-sabotage.

The author’s blurb at the end says this:

Cloe Madanes is a world-renowned innovator and teacher of family and brief therapy and one of the originators of the strategic approach to family therapy. She has authored seven books that are classics in the field: Strategic Family Therapy; Behind the One-Way Mirror; Sex, Love, and Violence; The Secret Meaning of Money; The Violence of Men; The Therapist as Humanist, Social Activist, and Systemic Thinker; and Relationship Breakthrough. Contact: madanesinstitute@gmail.com.

All i know is that if were in the market for a therapist, i’d want her.

Jim Price: Trailblazing

Posted on by Frank DeMarco

This from Jim Price, well worth reading.

Trailblazing the Human Condition explores how our efforts and adaptations contribute to expanding shared knowledge. When we are trailblazing, I believe we are adding to the field of human knowledge through morphogenic resonance, furthering the education of humanity through a shared unseen field.  This essay is the fourth in a series of five posts addressing the topic of chronic pain or conditions from a spiritual/non-material perspective.
