“Bold and searching” – BookLife “Gets” and Loves “Particle Pinata Poems”

IN PREMIUM COLOR: BookLife writes: Harrell’s bold and searching collection takes readers on an odyssey of inquiry, with the first and foremost question being 'How to establish that / Yes, I am / One with God and God is / One with You.'

In a note, Harrell describes her spirituality as a conscious, living thing shaped ...

“Disremembering and Then Remembering My Life” – Memoir video

You can start writing a memoir and stop for a year, blocked by what you will have to reveal. Or you can stop as at a wall because you think you have forgotten. Well, of course,...

On How I Came to Write the Revised Edition of KTQ! IV: Ancient Secrets Revealed

To keep my inspiration and sense of connection to Source, I am most drawn to knowledge from something larger than my current state; inspiration from my awareness, which speaks in spurts, whispers unknowns, speculates in large, outrageous ways as it gives me insights, brings potential to my attention.

More on this and other subtle experiences inside Keep This Quiet! III: Initiations (2014) and the revised, expanded, retitled brand-new edition of volume IV, Ancient Secret...

And how is it possible to steal a few minutes to m...

Private Sessions

Jef Crab
If you are experiencing an obstacle in your spiritual development or just want to further that development, I invite you to join me in a 2-hour private session. Current available times are June 19 - 22: total cost $169. As my stay in Raleigh is very limited in time, I will primarily advise in such a way that direct steps can be taken. Long-term guidance or apprenticeship is not realistic at this point. A private session starts in general with an inter-vision, i.e., an exchange of information...
