Animal World
Elephants, Trauma and the Ego by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explains, "... What I loved about this sanctuary is that it was the opposite of a zoo. Not only did the elephants have woods and streams and ponds and rivers to wander through (more than 2000 acres!), the public was not cordially invited to gape and throw popcorn at the elephants (but observation cameras allowed people to view online the real lives of real elephants).

Firewalk at 600 Degrees – The Beginning of Spiritual Lessons by Don Mordasini

Don Mordasini writes, "It is necessary for me to be consistent in spiritual practices so that the gifts of expanded consciousness; love, peace, compassion and oneness can be felt daily and not just help me in times of trial...My fire walk kick started a journey of self discovery.

Returning Home - A Healing In Death by Triza Schultz
Triza Schultz explains, "When we contemplate the meaning and purpose of our lives, we can look at life in spiritual terms and no longer define our world as chaotic or ourselves as pure victims of circumstance...There is purpose in everything. Its potential is always present right beyond our level of awareness, waiting for our acknowledgement and choices to create something wonderful. Look for those spiritual gifts of opportunity as they are presented. It’s usually karma in action!"
