Knowledge is Safe...and possibly going to kill us...
What? I thought knowledge was a good thing?
Ok let's play with this word Knowledge. For the record, this isn't scientific it's simply a late night under the stars pondering the meaning of life and language.
The word "Knowledge" has been dancing around in my head and I notice that there are two words in that one big word.
KNOW and LEDGE.
Let that sink in....KNOW and LEDGE.
Huh..interesting.
The more I "know" the closer to the "ledge" I am...
What ledge? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Ledges can go either way...ya know.
So how do we "know"?
We know by experience, our past, the moments we've lived have shaped what we "know," even our ability to "know what we know" has been shaped by education, parenting, current affairs, selfies, cell phones the Bee Gees, our entire world view is made up from our past and we love that.
How often do we stop to remember the past. A memory triggered by a sound, a smell, a word.
Sometimes this is a good thing, as in ....let's not step in that cesspool again, that was nasty, and sometimes it's because there was a feeling of safety, and yes, even if that safety was tainted with trauma and coping mechanisms, we made it safe.
So safe, in fact, that we're prisoners of it. The notion of questioning our own institutions, our own beliefs about what is, is so frightening...That hanging around in the question of
WHAT IF? is so ugly, dark and uncomfortable, that we'd rather to stay in the suffering we "know."
What happens when we jump off the ledge? What happens if you ask WHAT IF?
The stories in this book are from real people who asked that question, stayed with it long enough to have a new experience, build new neuro-pathways, new institutions and beliefs that came from a deeper, more meaningful place, which impacted them so deeply that they cannot return to the "Known" They must Dance in the Unknown... because that is where life happens....

Shamanism in the New Millennium is an exploration of shamanism through the stories of sixteen individuals revealing how a person is called by Spirit (often reluctantly) to become a shaman/healer, what that journey looks like from multiple perspectives and traditions, what becoming a shaman/healer entails, and how that journey is transforming in the face of rapid cultural changes, loss of traditions, loss of ecosystems, and the loss of interest in "the old ways."

The New Age/Thought movements have flatlined. Stunning scientific insights and uplifting spiritual information found in early break-through books and films have devolved into a smorgasbord of "feel good" social media memes and lookalike spiritual programs guaranteed to deliver overnight abundance, soulmates and enlightenment in easy 5-step workshops.
All You Need Is Love is a much-needed antidote, breathing substance and depth back into our quest for health, wellness and most importantly our spiritual connection.

A book to savor and draw courage from, Stories of Becoming Myself is a celebration of woman-her endurance, her daring and determination, and most of all her love.

What happens when the least spiritual person on the planet gets hired to make a movie about spirituality? You're about to find out. Killing Buddha is a delightfully irreverent, LOL read. Sara Wells and her crew are exactly what we need to remind us that life is a journey best enjoyed with authenticity, vulnerability and laughter. I couldn't stop laughing even as I soaked up the wisdom this hilarious tale has to tell. Enjoy this total page turner. Elaine Hendrix, Actress (What The Bleep Do We Know ? Parent Trap, Dynasty), Activist When life is in chaos we are forced to change, a lesson successful-but-not-the-way-she-wants-to-be film producer Sara Wells reluctantly learns when her seemingly perfect life comes crashing down. Desperate for work and a new life, she takes on a documentary project about spirituality and the New Thought movement.Will Killing Buddha mark her triumphant return to the riches she thinks her life once contained? Or willshe and her mismatched crew of seekers, believers and cynics find that, in the end, it's not what you have and what you believe in, but who you ultimatelybecome that counts? Funny and light-hearted, Killing Buddha is a thought-provoking, mostly fictional tale based on the experiences of BetsyChasse, award-winning filmmaker of the international hit indie film What the Bleep Do We KnowI? which ignited the New Thought industry for the new millennium. The book explores the world of New Age / New Thought spirituality and personal growth, exposing both the ridiculousness and the sublimity of the spiritual journey in an authentic and humorous way. Betsy Chasse is an award-winning filmmaker, best known for her role as co-writer, director and producer of What The Bleep Do We Know? . Thebest-selling author of Tipping Sacred Cows, she has produced over 30 feature films and documentaries. (And yes, some of those wouldbe considered porn...) She is a mom to two spirited and opinionated teenagers, still loves wine, but has decided to leave the Tequila on the topshelf where it belongs.
