MESSAGE FROM WAYNE
****************************
Hello my loves,
You want your purveyors of Truth
To look and act special.
You want them different
And separate
And powerful.
You prefer to imagine them
Cloaked in light
Than sitting on the toilet.
You like them passionless, sexless,
Mellow, gentle and kind.
You like the idea of miracles
And will invent them when necessary.
Your strategy is to keep them
Out there
Far away from you
Exotic and mysterious.
You revel in the myth
Of the Enlightened individual
Hoping to someday be so empowered.
What you can't tolerate
Is for them to appear
As ordinary as you.
Ram Tzu know this . . .
You always miss the Truth
Because it is too plain to see.
With love,
Wayne

The Talks included in this disc are presented here for the first time and provide a fascinating look at the seeds of many of Ramesh's later Teachings.

NEW BOOK FROM RAMESH ------------
THE ONE IN THE MIRROR
By Ramesh S. Balsekar
In this book Ramesh gives the essence of his Teaching in short, simple, readily understandable passages. Subjects covered range from "Free Will" to "Meditation" to "Human Relationships." The book is a collection of quotes, writings and aphorisms, some just a single sentence and others several paragraphs long, all written by Ramesh himself during the 2003 Kovalam Seminar. Each piece is a sparkling jewel through which the Teaching shines forth and is complete in itself. Thus the book can be opened randomly and enjoyed in small delicious bites.
Wayne Liquorman calls it, "The best book from Ramesh since Peace and Harmony in Daily Living."
Softcover 98 pages $13
==================================
NEW BOOK FROM WAYNE ------------
NEVER MIND: A Journey Into Non-Duality
by Wayne Liquorman (edited by Christa French)
Written with Wayne's characteristic humor, irreverence and profound insight, this book provides a bold, new look at the nature of existence.
Wayne's teaching points to the divine nature of everything that exists, no
matter how hurtful or painful it might appear. According to Wayne, everything
is the perfect manifestation of the Source and it is in the acceptance of everything
that peace is revealed
An indispensible addition to the spiritual library.
Softcover, 174pages - ISBN#0929448219 - $17.00
