"Toward a Philosophy of Perception" is PUBLISHED, at last!

Background: This book is about living your wildest dreams, because that's the most practical way to go through life! It illustrates what happens when you do. Incredible things suddenly enter your consciousness and become part of how you live day-to-day. That's because if you draw on the wells of your deep energy, of who you really are, you can't lose - literally. Color photography of clouds (in detail) bring transmission of energy, as the images are meditative tools, taking you deep into the picture, as into a journey.
