I recommend and endorse this book the writing of which changed Matthews life and, I witnessed this with my own eyes, nudged him onto a higher vibrational frequency.

I say this in all sincerity. It was a beautiful and inspiring thing to witness.

great idea for a book

Sounds like a good idea. I asked a psychiatrist who's house I stayed at a while ago about the wellness agenda and he said it's just eastern religion without God so it's dangerous, in his opinion. This also gets back to the idea we've discussed quite a lot in other threads: the work of the 60s is not yet fully done

Two podcast interviews with me!

If you can only listen to one I thought the Randi Fine interview had the edge on the other - but both very good interviewers.
