Temples of Light--A Review

Last week, I shared with you information from The Temples of Light by Danielle Rama Hoffman. If you recall, Temples of Light, is being offered, along with $3000 in bonus gifts. Please visit www.thetemplesoflight.com/promotion and then click on the “order” link, order the book on Amazon and return to the promotional page. Enter your name and email address to reach the bonus page.

In the words of Danielle Rama Hoffman, in the introduction to Temples of Light:

"These heart teachings are in response to questions you have been asking throughout time and space about the mystery—about who you are and why you are here. They provide guidance regarding your relationship to the Divine and ways of manifesting greater happiness, health, abundance, and love in your life."

Temples of Light is so much more than a mere book--it is a journey. Ms. Hoffman takes your hand gently and guides you throughout this journey. As you visit each of the sacred temples along the journey, you first learn what each stands for. Then, using guided meditation, writing exercises and the power of your mind, you are present at each temple.

As I followed along this path she laid out, I could feel an internal truth unfolding. Your soul will cling to the words tightly, feeling that it has at last found the path for which it has searched an eternity. Each person will find the journey personally designed for them as Danielle Rama Hoffman guides but does not demand; she leads but encourages individual exploration.

This book is not one you can read through once and set aside. It is meant to be experienced one chapter at a time, allowing the power of the words to seep deep within. Taking this time to savor the journey will allow you to join with a force that can only be described as Life--for you feel yourself acknowledging your connection with all that lives.

I can't give this book a rating on my Rainbow Scale, for it surpasses the seven colors--it is all colors. To experience this wondrous journey for yourself, please visit http://www.thetemplesoflight.com/promotion/

The Story Behind Hard by Jamieson Wolf

I was going to post an excerpt from Hard today, but Jamieson was kind enough to provide the story behind this story--and I know many of you, like me, love to hear how a story came about. Enjoy!

Behind the Story – The True Life Story of Hard

My new novella, HARD, is actually based off of a true story.

When I was a randy young lad, I did indeed look at pornography magazines with my male chums. Name one guy that doesn’t when he’s younger (never mind when he’s older). But I always found myself looking at the guys in porno magazines.

I knew at a fairly young age that I was gay. I was brought around to this realization with a little help from my best friend at the time, a young man I will call Jason (that’s not his real name, in case you were wondering).

As young men are wont to do, we did explore each others bodies. We even pressed our crotches together, much like Owen and Daniel in HARD. But the true-life story ended much more horribly than the novel I wrote.

One afternoon, while Jason and I engaged in what could loosely be called an extra curricular activity, I got hard. Even worse, I got hard while we were rubbing crotches together.

I remember the look on Jason’s face when he realized I was hard. And the way the look deepened when he realized it was not the pornography magazines that were making me hard; it was him.

“Your hard.” He said. There was a note of accusation in his voice.

”No I’m not.” But he knew that wasn’t true. So did I.

The damage was done. Jason and I kind of drifted apart. We no longer hung out after school, we no longer talked. But I would see him from time to time in the hallways of our high school. Each time I saw him, I got a feeling that made me warm inside and slightly sad at the same time.

Years later, I realized that I was more than likely in love with Jason at the time. But I didn’t really know what love was. Heck, I didn’t even know what being gay was, not really. I just knew I was different; I just didn’t know how different.

When I sat down to write HARD, I had only one thought in my mind: what would have happened if my own story had gotten a happy ending? What would have happened if things had gone differently?

And the story of HARD was born.

While I was writing it, it was impossible not to think of Jason. I think of him every now and again and wonder what ever happened to him. He was the first boy I ever loved but, thankfully, not the last.

I can only hope that he’s found happiness as I have; and that he thinks of me every once in a while not with shame, but with pleasure.

You can read HARD to find out if Owen and Daniel get a happy ending. Get your copy from the lovely folks over at Breathless Press right here: www.breathlesspress.com


Cheers,
Jamieson
