When Life Stood in Silence

 

When Life Stood in Silence

When Life Stood in Silence is an autobiography in Poetry which depicts a series of life’s events and the deep emotions experienced over many years. These poems express pains from love lost and desired, death, adversities, and a yearning to emerge from deep emotional distress, trauma, and depression. It tells of the writer’s turmoil, when life halted, and the need for solitude. Moreover, it highlights her daunting inability to relate anything from the world outside the soul except her own misery which laments from far crevices of the heart. It speaks of hope, strength, faith, and a call for help from one’s destructive thoughts. It’s where life’s purpose seems to have no voice and no longer speak to a battered soul; where no one seems to hear loud outcries for survival.

Apotheosis Now

 

Apotheosis Now: 

Rabbit Hole to the Beyond

Many of us are starting to become tired of this game of life. We have been comparing and striving all our life. But no matter how much success we have achieved—we are still hollow and still have found nothing fulfilling. We don’t even know if happiness exists because it is no longer a living thing in our experience—it has become dead, as we only know it as a concept or memory. 

We have sought self-help advice, philosophies, and religious teachings to transform ourselves, but have not gotten anywhere. We have made some superficial improvements—like adopting a new mindset—but our core remains the same. We are still competitive, still fearful, and we get disturbed all the time. 

The problem with all attempts at self-improvement is that we do not address the fundamental problem, which is: who is the “you” that needs to be improved? We do not see that the one who is making the improvement is the same one who needs to be improved. The more we try to improve, the more conflict we introduce, within and without. The more knowledge that we stuff in our heads, the more we become trapped in a conceptual prison of reality. Inevitably, the more confused we get in life.

The book guides the reader out of their distorted beliefs to experience the reality beyond the mind. When the deeper intelligence is allowed to flourish without our mind's interference, then the game of life becomes effortless.

Fostering Energy

 

Fostering Energy: 

Cherish Your Energy for a Pleasant Spirit

Fostering Energy builds upon the idea that energy surrounds everything on Earth, from puppies to people to pizza. Interactions between these vessels create a transaction of energy, and the result can be either good or bad. Those carrying negativity in their self-worth, emotions, and thoughts also carry negative energy that taints everything they touch. 

If a simple interaction can breed negativity between both parties, it is crucial to control this energy. While it appears on the surface to be some complicated pseudo-science, taking responsibility for individual energy is no more complicated than personal betterment. The act of nurturing mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health improves self-worth, and in reaction breeds positive energy.

Where you go, your energy follows. Every building, home, and space entered is impacted by personal energy, and these locations also leave their imprint. The importance of caring for energy is beyond understated, and Fostering Energy brings light to the significance of the subject matter.

The Jesus Nut

 

The Jesus Nut

The Jesus Nut tells the story of three unlikely pilgrims—a reviled professor, a delusional homeless veteran, and a priest who loves strip clubs—searching for the greatest religious relic of the 21st century. Their journey to New York City leads to a fateful encounter with a former advertising executive, whose mad ramblings suggest he might be the very oracle to help them fulfill their destiny.

A quirky, subversive novel that addresses timely issues and lampoons evangelical hypocrisy, The Jesus Nut ultimately reveals itself to be a story of second chances and agape love.

Prepare for an irreverent journey which will remind you of the value of friends and the miraculous power of faith.

Energy: 

The foreign language we all speak but don’t understand 

A book that takes the reader on a journey of life, getting lost in challenges and pain and finding their way out filled with joy and love. As I open the door to my spiritual closet, I invite you to read these pages with the eyes of your soul. I offer you the chance to look at life with a new perspective. Each day we navigate our daily life by using our intellect, but if we dig deeper we can complement this with our intuition. To learn the language of the soul we can find our human connection with one another, nature, the animal world as well as the Universe. This will enable each one of us to learn to speak a language that will improve compassionate action, improve the health and wellbeing of our physical body as well as grow stronger in our intuition.

Welcome to my story. A story that on any given day I would not have shared with people unless you were a good friend or family. It is now time to open the door of the spiritual closet. 

We all have something to hide in our closets, those monsters we want to shove to the back, not to be noticed. I’m going to share my story with direction from the spirit, my inner voice. I will share with you every last intimate and humiliating moment in hopes that this would open your heart like mine, to know there is way more than you could ever imagine in this life. The things I present to you from along my path I’m sure you will question—this in turn now becomes your Journey.

Allow me to take you on my personal journey from a place of fear in my life to learning what the true meaning of love is. Through unusual experiences in my life, I began to make a shift in my belief system. Connecting to a higher power, I learned to speak what I call the most foreign language spoken— “energy.” It is the Universal connection that all beings share. Connecting the dots and learning, we are all one—no matter what country we live in, or language we speak, or the faith we believe. We all are made of this same energy and have not yet learned how to speak it, the language of our soul.

I would like to start by pushing away some of those old dusty hangers and taking you straight to the back of my closet where I will introduce you to my night monsters and start this journey together—where, in the end, my hopes are we can all clean out our closets—remove our monsters and find the light that we all are.

“Being a candle is not easy, in order to give light, one must burn first.” (Rumi)
