The “Bell” and Hunter Thompson

The bell arrived in my Belgian apartment I had shared with Willy Van Luyten the first week after his death. When we were talking, suddenly we heard an electronic beep. Below is a short excerpt describing some of my struggles with the unusual energy in my apartment after Willy's death: I was bewildered by the energy beginning to permeate the apartment Willy and I had shared—and felt the need to reach out to an old friend, though I had close female friends in a weekly “Inner Landscaping” cours...

“Flavors of the world, the universe and beyond”

Margaret Harrell’s blending and merging the whole of a human being and beyond into the cosmos is astounding writing and what a lifetime Journey she has taken to arrive to this book. I love it when she says “we are all bound together and share information,” although she got this quote from Laszlo; it serves such a stop and breathe point in the book . . . I feel Margaret is zipping around and catching the flavors of the world, the universe and Beyond. That is Its Beauty! She is working with a wh...

The KTQ! IV Cave in Romania

The image is of the Sinca Veche cave in Romania (near Fagaras)—featured in IV. It has long been considered rather mysterious and sacred. My relationship to it is recounted in Keep This Quiet! IV. It began one day when a man came into my publisher's office. He was carrying a manuscript he wanted to get published. It was about the cave. Quite soon we were all three on a trip to see it firsthand. KTQ! IV is almost out. Watch for it in Amazon preorders. It's published again by Saeculum University...

“A book of wonder” – Alice Osborn review

A book of wonder—spirit, ghosts, hope, mysticism, mystery. If you ever had instincts, premonitions, or felt you are out of place or feel you know things, that there is a whole world beyond, there’s more magic in this world than there’s supposed to be—I feel this book is for you. Especially if you’re in the last one third of your life and think, ‘I want to unlock the mysteries, I want some answers, I’m not done.’ —Alice Osborn, author of Heroes without Capes

Seeing and Sensing Subtle Energy

Light body courses had a major influence on me from the 1990s on. Below is an account of a very early experience in "seeing and sensing subtle energy," excerpted from Keep This Quiet! IV. "Seeing and Sensing Subtle Energy" is the title of a course in my light body work with LuminEssence though I had not taken it yet, but I had been exposed to the concept. The "integral therapist" I was visiting in Guadelajara was Hector Kuri-Cano, an exceptional Mexican psychologist. An unforgettable event now ...

HST at Woody Creek

The photos below are from 1991, at Owl Farm, where I visited Hunter for a week, not having seen him in twenty-one years physically. I had been living in Morocco and then Belgium. My boyfriend had just died and the apartment we had shared was spooky. I thought Hunter could handle the "weirdness," and I certainly needed a confidante. So I reached out by phone and pretty soon was at Owl Farm, his ranch in Colorado. This sets the stage as Keep This Quiet! IV, revised edition, opens: On January 6, 1...
