about me

Yes. I am here for joy.If people want to do the book honor by backing it, great - but I have let go of the competition-gremlin.

I am here to find the books that give me shivers down the spine, when I immediately KNOW - just by reading the first sentence: This is it! I have found a writer whose work I completely love. I am here for the joy of discovering these books, and for the joy of supporting them and writing comments from an overflowing heart.

Most of all am I looking for Presence.

I am also here to receive comments to my book - to experience the joy when it touches people, and for the joy of being able to explain what it is all about.

If you write horror,crime,supernatural,fantasy with gory descriptions in any way, don't waste you time messaging.

If you back the book, do it because you like it - not because you expect something back

If you want a quick taste of my book, I suggest 1 Foreword, 3 introduction and chapter 20,4: Transforming demons in the Potter's House (in a loving way.)
If you don't want the theory and metaphysics, skip 5,6,8 and 9. (You may come back to those later.)

AND: in between you may feel great resistance to the text. It's just old ego balking. I recommend that you read the cherry-comments to get an idea what it is about.

When Fear Comes Home to Love:f....

Leelah Saachi

About learning the laws of light and darkness – how to love the
impossible, and being transformed by that love.


"This book demonstrates that we truly are what we are longing for: clear, non-judgmental awareness that seems to contain all forms of darkness and evil we perceive with human eyes in this world.
It demonstrates ways of dealing with darkness that transforms it, and exposes the cry for help within it.
The author shares her spiritual process through her numinous painting of a Sacred Tree, recognizing the Tree's 10 strange inhabitants as archetypal figures of darkness, all of which play a role in the life of man, seemingly separating him from God and truth.
The author shares the exploration and the healing of these forces/figures through her own story and the stories of her patients - through storytelling, poems, illustrations, case-stories, and numerous humoristic "synchronicities", which could be called “God's way of playing." The spiritual process meanders through different stages of spiritual training – from the Mytho-Poetic tradition, to Buddhism to A Course In Miracles.

Hi Michael - the first thing you need to do, is to get chapter 2 and 3 in the right place - now chapter 3 is at chapter 2 and vice versa. I think what you write about is well worth discussing, but it seems, as i read through it, that I had read most of it before, in a more easy-to.read-way. Maybe u... view book

I get a sense of huge loneliness from reading this. I like that: good writing takes me into a new space and furnishes it for me, allowing me to experience the atmosphere. I get an impression of a protagonist who really can't seem to connect heart-wise with people - there is a subtle screen between h... view book

I found myself thinking of D.H.Lawrence when i read the first chapter. It runs a poetic river through your text, and it feels like it lives in me, on many levels. There is magic about this. Six-starred. And i had to give you a place on my coveted shelf :-) Leelah Saachi view book

Just a short comment to the pitch: i would remove "very" from "some VERY nasty men" - you could find a description that is much more to the point here. Leelah view book
