I am the author of the books Nothing in this Book is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are and Something in this Book Is True.... Following is an excerpt from my book Something in this Book is True....

"In the 'Completion' chapter in my first book, I told of my experiences in attending the Flower of Life workshop in April 1994 in Austin, Texas, led by Drunvalo and what an incredible experience of unity consciousness it was. This was the last time Drunvalo gave the workshop.

"I also told of Drunvalo's decision to turn the workshop over to trained facilitators, and of my interest in becoming one. I realized that I was well qualified to give this workshop. My many years as a rebirther and workshop leader had prepared me in leading people through the many changes I knew they would go through in the course of such a workshop.

"From my own experience and from what I observed in the Austin workshop, I know that it puts you through many changes. The key is to provide a setting of awareness, safety, and trust in order to facilitate for people the process of moving through and integrating these changes. That is fundamentally important. Without that, there is no workshop.

"So I returned to Austin in June of the same year and took a nine-day facilitator training. But I waited almost one year before I gave my first workshop.

"I had decided some time earlier that instead of sitting back and wondering what I could do that I would make it my personal business to ensure that our transition from one world to the next is a gentle one. That meant taking an all-inclusive approach; it meant finding a way to be effective in a you-and-me world to, as Werner Erhard said, 'discover what is needed and wanted and then to produce it.' That meant finding a way to empower others. I wanted to be sure that giving the Flower of Life workshop was the right vehicle.

"I was also in the final stages of letting go, of moving from conditioned motivation into divine motivation. I wanted to wait for my first book to come out, and I also wanted to see if what I was doing was real. If it wasn't, no amount of forcing the issue would work. If it was, all I had to do was sit back and allow it to happen.

"I remembered Drunvalo telling how when he first gave the Flower of Life workshop, Thoth told him to pick a remote location. That way, people with one-hundred percent intention would be there, while those who weren't ready wouldn't even know there was a workshop. I liked that idea, and knowing that what the participants bring to the workshop is everything, I decided to make my workshop known primarily by word of mouth, and to those who had read my book and written to me.

"It was Arnold Patent who said, "The Universe handles the details." he also said, "When you are on purpose, the phone rings and you don't have to dial." The phone did begin to ring. People called and wrote to me from everywhere, and from that, I began to give the workshop.

"It took me three workshops to get the kinks out, and to learn how to manage my own energy. I was totally wiped out after each of the first three workshops.

"I didn't think it was possible to recreate the experience of unity I had seen in the Austin workshop, and I didn't even try. But some powerful seeds were planted, and by the fourth workshop, it just began to happen. Then it began to really happen, and it has since gone off the scale!

"The workshop is a six-day experience. About half the time is spent with Drunvalo transmitting the bulk of the information via video. I initially had some doubts about half a workshop being on video, until I realized that the pieces were in place, and that it was actually possible to do it better this way.

"I have worked with many partners in the past, and have had many good experiences working this way. But Drunvalo, as it turns out, is the best partner I have ever had. Even though he is on tape, his style comes through in a way that enables everyone to have a delightful and complete experience of him. Furthermore, I know exactly what he is going to say and when he is going to say it (he is on tape, after all) so I can work with him to maximum benefit.

"This creates an excellent foundation, because the workshop really happens when the video is turned off. It is the sharing, the group discussion, the individual and collective processing of energy, the teaching of the merkaba, and the merkaba meditation where the workshop really happens."

The workshop is very powerful. Something extraordinary happens when a group of like-minded people interact with this information for six days. An experience of unity consciousness is created that is unlike anything I have ever seen.

In addition, people come from everywhere to take this workshop. For example, in the October 1998 workshop they came from England, Scotland, Hungary, Brazil, Canada, and from all over the USA. This makes for fantastic energy.

I believe it is safe to say your life will never be the same as a result of this experience.
