Who are you beneath the mind’s chatter?

“You are more than just matter. You are a highly complex, light-controlled consciousness system.”—David Bingham

I have shared this story many times. The one about the five-year-old boy who begs for time alone with his new baby sister.

He’s so adamant in his requests for this solo, sans-parent time that they worry. What could he possibly have to say that he wouldn’t want us to hear?

But he’s persistent. He insists they simply MUST be alone. His parents finally grant his wish as they secretly wait in the hallway outside the door.

He tiptoes quietly into the nursery, bends over the bassinette and whispers to his weeks-old sibling, “Tell me about God. I’m starting to forget.”

That forgetting, my friends, is what my new book is about. How do we humans go from pure infinite love into a state of limited, fearful consciousness? Why is it that we aren’t actively, blissfully soaking up the world’s many wonders?

In my new, about-to-be released book, I share how the voice in our head (I’ve been known to call it an asshat) uses distractions, illusions and misguided beliefs to cover up the fact that humans are divinity in disguise.

It includes more than two dozen confessions, game plans and strategies devised by the pernicious voice that now dominates most of humanity’s thinking.

The Ego’s Playbook, as I call it, comes at spiritual liberation through the back door. When you “know thy enemy,” as Sun Tzu recommended, you’re better able to recognize the bugs in the system, to more quickly identify your own destructive patterns and habits and, without fighting them, clearly see how to let them go. 

The Ego’s Playbook takes readers on a graphic journey through the comically lilliputian thoughts of the mind into the vast expansiveness of the heart.

It’s short, humorous and hopefully, helpful to anyone wanting to break free from old patterns. I call it a “picture book for grownups” and I’m very excited to share it with you. I’ll be sending a link to order in the next couple days.

In the meantime, here’s a cute video my illustrious designer Violet Lemay created for page 144.
