Kickstarter Campaign Launch!

6.28.2013

Today is the day! I'm very excited that I was able to launch my kickstarter campaign today in effort to raise money for my book. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude already. I want to take this time to thank all of my Spiritual Anthropology readers across the globe. Moreover, I'm happy to be able to involve you all in this collective effort. Although the Kickstarter page has it all laid out in black and white, (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jehrodalain/digging-deep-into-a-dream) I would like to lay it all out here on the blog.

It is this very blog that gave me the courage to write this book and to feel how people connected with my writing. With international readership, Spiritual Anthropology is being read in countries like Russia, Malaysia, France, and many other places. I'm grateful to have been able to connect in this way for the last three years.

So the book is an extension of the truth telling work that i've been doing here. I'm calling it my spiritual autobiography because i'm using my life experiences and lessons to show how one can dig deep into their own wisdom and experiences to find love, joy, and peace. Although that work is not necessarily easy, it's worthwhile and beyond rewarding. I want everyone to have a full life. A life where their inner abundance is more important than their outer experience. I want you to know what Eckart Tolle means when he says "When you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place."

This is the holy work of each of our lives.

I'm going through the self publishing company, Balboa to self-publish this book. (http://www.balboapress.com)

So if you would love to contribute to this effort, please visit the kickstarter website and donate today and also view the video below.

with thanks and love,

who are we when we love? Honoring Nelson Mandela

I remember very vividly the summer I first read Nelson Mandela's A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. I was living at my grandmother's house then. At nineteen years old, it was the longest book I had ever attempted to read. But I felt my soul leaping and growing and telling me that I had to live courageously. I could not afford to not fight for justice. I could not afford to not dedicate my life to love's purposes. By reading Mandela's story, I saw what the best of humanity looked like. I saw that no matter how much oppression and humiliation others may inflict upon us, we can rise above it. We can choose to not let their evil define us. Nelson Mandela is my hero. He was a giant of a man who had the unique ability to make others feel even larger than he was. You see, that is what great people do. They remind us that the light they have is inside all of us as well. We only need to let it shine, fearlessly and with the intent of eradicating evil by the power of love....

i am grateful for OPRAH

Yesterday, my "Angel Mother" as i like to call her, Ms. Oprah G. Winfrey received the highest honor in the land-- The Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Obama applauded her for... "reaching the pinnacle of the entertainment universe." For twenty-five years, The Oprah Winfrey Show helped to extend the conversation about topics that were taboo; from sexual abuse to cellulite, she made it okay to tell the truth. She created a safe space for people to come and leave their shame and the secrets that blocked their light. Because of this, millions of others were liberated by the knowledge that they were not alone in their suffering. I started watching the Oprah show when I was around eight or nine years old. Her voice was soothing. Her insights were as wise and profound as those of my own mother. I saw the same light in her eyes that I saw in my mother's eyes. I believe it was because of this that she would go on to mean even more to me after my mother lost ...

My 11 Spiritual Truths

Here on the eve of my 25th birthday, I wanted to share some of the guiding spiritual truths that govern my sacred and beautiful life. These truths have been the thoughts and essence of who I am and it is my joy to share them with you. 1. There are Spiritual Laws that govern our world. Learn them. Adhere to them. Then and only then will you align yourself with true power and operate in love as you co-create your life with God. 2. Only you have the power to change your life. No external force can propel you forward. You may be inspired, but even that is fleeting. Surrender yourself to a higher power and be guided into a fuller existence. 3. You cannot be successful if you are not serving humanity. Find meaning and the money will come. Success based entirely on acquiring money or material things will not add unto you. True wealth supersedes these things. Seek the kingdom first. 4. Let your thoughts be governed by love. Think on the good and the beautiful and the true. Release ...
