The Boy From Oz, featuring Hugh Jackman (CD)

This CD is an up, guaranteed to lift your spirits! Met Hugh Jackman backstage, (what a dreamboat) and he told me his birthday: Oct 12 1968.

My friend Paul Avignon and I saw this fabulous show and re-lived my nights as Peter Allen's opening act at Reno Sweeney.

Sacred Water: The Spiritual Source of Life, by Nathaniel Altman
List Price: $20.00 , Price: $14.00
Hardcover: 304 pages; Publisher: Hidden Spring
ISBN: 1587680130; January 2, 2002

Much more than a comparative religion study, this book begins at the beginning, with the simple science of water inside and outside our bodies. Altman addresses the usual suspects (rivers, wells, oceans, etc.), but also includes the unexpected, such as bridges, agriculture, hammams (Muslim sweat baths) and even sewage treatment.

More than 60 illustrations visually convey the global scope of the work, and varied chapters (e.g., "Sacred Space," "Cleansing," "Healing," "Initiation," "Wisdom," and "Enchantment") literally cover the rainbow and much more. In addition to the so-called major religions, Altman includes Sikh, Jain, Shinto, ancient Greek and Native American views on water. With so much material to cover, the sense is that Altman opted for breadth over depth, tantalizing readers with the possibilities of this essential element for life.

Psychogenetics: The Force of Heredity, by Chris Griscom
List Price: $18.00 , Price: $18.00
Paperback: 192 pages; Publisher: Light Institute Press
ISBN: 0962369675; 1st edition (July 2000)

In these troubled times where misguided folks use holy scriptures as a substitute for personal emotional accountability and as a defense for hateful behavior toward one another, Chris Griscom offers these and many other important insights in Psychogenetics: The Force of Heredity. Below, an excerpt from the book:

       "The spiritual focus on the Divine is the truest and most powerful force to bring humanity together, not to alienate us one from another.
       Our sense of fear and separation stem from learned belief systems, not from actual spiritual experience. Back in the shrouded beginning of religious expression we were imprinted with the concept of the "angry God" who had to be dissuaded from wrathful vengeance upon mankind for their imperfection. This resulted in the ritualistic practice of sacrifice to appease God.
       I can truly imagine how easy it might have been for a priesthood that overstepped the boundaries of directing others' lives to fall into the trap of blaming their behavior for any mishap that befell the group. How convenient to say that God is angry and we must pay by suffering. This concept has buried fear and punishment deeply within the human psyche and into the spiritual DNA.
       It is not God who is angry with us; it is nothing more than an effective manipulation that allows the few to control the many. Virtually every type of authority has used this technique to harness in its constituents-from priests to police to parents. The goodness in us needs to be allowed, without coercion. The era of martyrs, sacrifice, and punishment is over. It is time for us to realize that we can give a holy gift without taking a life or inflicting pain upon others or ourselves. We can instead celebrate the sacredness of life as Divine expression.
       Healing this global rift must begin with individuals who are willing to risk opposing the subtle coercion of society, in order to teach their children a kinder way".
