Art is a truly transformative medium, especially when the artist allows himself or herself to be at one with the Creative Power that lies within. The good news is that this unique ability lies within each one of us. Ruth Platner, art teacher extraordinaire, has spent her life helping people reconnect with their spiritual essence through art. In Meditation & Art, Ruth presents her unique, very effective "exercises" that are designed to help shift our consciousness from the limitations of form to the freedom of essence. Each exercise also includes an introduction and concluding meditation that aids our ability to sense our inherent sense of being. This shift in consciousness allows us to experience life from a more conscious perspective. The twelve exercises in this book include clear examples of art that is expressed before and after the meditative experience. A few of the topics that are covered include: Stages of Awareness - Transformation - Recognizing Potential - Form and the Formless - Relativity - The Individual in Community - Cooperation vs. Competition When we come together to explore the possibilities of our spiritual self, the potential is endless. The concepts and activities presented in Meditation & Art can be followed by children, young adults, seniors and anyone who would recover their inner sense of inspiration and wonder. The potential for creativity is all around us; Ruth Platner simply helps open our eyes. "All my forms and people are in motion, never static; it is a way to express my personal excitement about living this lifetime of constant change." -Ruth Platner About the Author Ruth Platner's art education began in Hamburg, Germany, her place of birth. She studied at the prestigious Hamburg Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste under Professor Hans Tietze, where she majored in graphic arts.

Vorsicht! Watch out! Karl Renz is as sure to madden as he is to delight-but people keep coming back anyway, because he is so right, or perhaps only because he is so entertaining. With Karl, every idea, every theory, every sacred idol of the mind, is fair game. Sooner or later, he will turn his attack to one of your most cherished beliefs, and his bite is sure to sting, but then, amidst all the fun and laughter and the relaxed atmosphere of acceptance that he generates, you will start to laugh at yourself, and the hardened misconceptions with which you perpetuate your suffering will begin to fall away. Karl is a teacher of non-duality; he recommends no specific technique and advocates no method. His talk will contradict itself, or run in circles, or simply converge into indecipherable paradoxes. The room is full of people determined to understand his system-struggling to figure it out, once and for all, write it down, memorize it, and then walk away "enlightened"-but there can be no figuring out, because any enlightenment you could "figure out" would be a mere idea. Karl is always pointing to something beyond ideas and concepts, and he takes you there.

There is a path toward beauty, just as there is a path toward that which transcends human beings, and there can be no beauty outside that path. In The Path Toward Beauty, Prof. Francesca Weinmann takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the relationship between art and beauty, while astutely displacing our commonly held ideas about genius, originality, and imagination-and above all the concept of beauty as it relates to taste. This journey is truly universal since it includes art objects from pre-history to the present day, and is accompanied by a thoughtful study of significant Eastern and Western philosophical texts. Artists rarely produce works of art for the sake of beauty alone. Yet, there are works of art from every period and every civilization that are undeniably beautiful. Prof. Weinmann passionately argues that the invisible beauty, which underlies the visible form of the art object, reflects the aspiration of the true artist who always tries to capture a bit of the transcendental in all that he or she creates. "Elegant and direct, The Path Toward Beauty illuminates the world's visual arts, explaining complex ideas in plain language. Francesca Weinmann guides us to thoughts of time and eternity, truth and beauty, and all that draws our noblest reflections higher." -Alan E. Bernstein, Emeritus Professor of History The University of Arizona ABOUT THE AUTHOR Francesca Weinmann's classical education began in Italy. She graduated with a B.A. in Art History from the Sorbonne in Paris, and went on to receive an M.A. in Art History at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Her mentors were Jean Grenier, Richard Krautheimer, and Erwin Panofsky. Professor Weinmann created the Art History Department at the American University of Paris, where she taught aesthetics and numerous Art History courses for twenty-seven years. She has been Professor Emeritus since 1999.

Connie Pursell is an astute observer of life whose writings capture the eccentric, the quirky, and even the divine in everyday incidents. Inspired by the writings of Natalie Goldberg, David Sedaris, and Nora Ephron, Connie's own unique insights come alive as she eloquently tackles an eclectic variety of subjects such as, "I'm Becoming My Mother After All," "I've Kissed My Last Frog," and "Nurturing the Core Being." Connie's "quirky mind" reflects a playful, unpredictable way of looking at things. And while her subject matter may be ordinary, her views are always unconventional. She loves to give reality a slight tweak, which often results in either a humorous or sober outcome-but either way it is always fresh and distinctive. "Pursell majors in nuances and the complicated. Everything life offers, like it or not, is fodder for her nimble, mischievous prose." -Reverend Tom Owen-Towle About the Author Connie Pursell is a baby boomer and a technical writer. Did Jesus Have a Cat? is her first book of essays. She also writes poetry and a couple of her poems are included in this book. Connie grew up in Lancaster, California and earned BA and MA degrees in English from Cal State University, Long Beach. She is active in volunteer activities, makes beaded jewelry, and lives in Laguna Niguel, CA with her three cats.

For over thirty-two years, Stephen and Ondrea Levine have provided emotional and spiritual support for those who face life-threatening illness and for their caregivers. Through their healing and forgiveness workshops, many writings, and compassionate interaction with others, they have deeply touched the lives of people throughout the world. The Healing I Took Birth For is the heartfelt sharing of Ondrea Levine's life of service. It's a deeply inspiring example of how one faces illness, great personal difficulties, spiritual practice, grace-and the spiritual unfolding from a limited sense of self into the deathless essence of pure Being. The catalyst for sharing Ondrea's story came about as a result of a medical prognosis that foretold the end of a lifetime of spiritual exploration. In this deeply touching collaboration between Ondrea and Stephen, they struggle with the heart-breaking/heart-healing task of trying to express, through the limitations of language, both Ondrea's inner experiences and the significant outward events in her life-or, as Ondrea likes to call it, a "love story." "This is the most intimate collaboration of any we have worked on," says Stephen, "It gave us an even deeper opportunity to be within each other's experience in a most remarkable way. It was nothing short of grace to be able to write this story in her first person singular. It represents part of her healing process as well as mine." "Stephen and Ondrea's teachings have served as a profound source of wisdom and inspiration for me over the years. Their work is created from a place of reverence and compassion, and as such benefits all who seek to live with a clarity, resolve and an open heart." -Rich Fernandez, Ph.D., head of Learning &amp; Organizational Development, eBay Stephen and Ondrea Levine are the authors of more than ten books, including Who Dies, Embracing the Beloved, and A Year to Live. While they live in relative isolation in northern New Mexico, the www.LevineTalks.com website is a way for them to connect with an outside audience and continue their teaching work.

"An inspirational telling of all of the truths we humans have been taught to deny." -Midwest Book Review The teachings of Karl Renz are a bit like Zen Koans-those short statements that stop the mind's activity by contemplating their paradoxical meaning. But Karl will take you even further: contemplating his words have the power to turn the mind back upon itself, toward our original awareness of Being. A Little Bit of Nothingness is a unique juxtaposition between dialogues of Karl Renz and the eighty-one verses of the Tao Te Ching. Here, the reality of the Tao¬¬-the unnameable, original cause of all that is-becomes evident as our own reality by the deep insights provided through Karl. The search for happiness usually takes us on an outward journey where we find ourselves identifying with everything except "that which we truly are." What we really need is to taste a "a little bit of nothingness"-the absence of any kind of presence that we believe ourselves to be. This is who we really are: our true self. No one sees this as well as Karl Renz, the German mystic-artist who, for the last ten years, has travelled around the world pulling the rug out from under our hallowed beliefs, leaving us blissfully wanting even less.
