LOVE AND THE OPPOSITE : EMBRACING THE BALANCE

 

LOVE AND THE OPPOSITE :

EMBRACING THE BALANCE

Love is our first language, but life teaches us its opposite.

From childhood impressions to adult relationships, every experience shapes how we give, receive, fear, and understand love. This book is a journey through that emotional landscape — the patterns we inherit, the conditions we learn, the wounds we carry, and the universal laws that guide us back to truth.

Love And The Opposite reveals the hidden mechanics of the heart:

how intentions shape reality, how fear distorts connection, how karmic cycles repeat until healed, and how the mind, body, and soul each contribute to the emotional pendulum we experience in every relationship.

Through clarity, insight, and spiritual depth, this book helps you:

• recognize your emotional patterns

• understand why love feels different for everyone

• navigate the tension between love and its opposite

• break generational cycles

• elevate your relationships through awareness

• return to unconditional love without abandoning yourself

Love is not something you find — it’s something you remember.

This book guides you back to the version of yourself who knows
how to love with intention, clarity, and truth.

TOO AUTHENTIC: 25 Years of Not Fitting In

   

TOO AUTHENTIC: 25 Years of Not Fitting In

This memoir follows 25 years of dancing in spaces that wanted me smaller—and my refusal to shrink.

What's inside:

Chapter 1: Go-Go Dancing - Stories from village discos and city clubs where creativity was treated like rebellion. From the DJ who couldn't handle a woman who initiated, to the boss who wanted decoration instead of artistry, to discovering that "too sexual" really meant "too free."

Chapter 2: Belly Dance - Stories from the world of traditional belly dance, where innovation was viewed as vandalism. Teachers who needed obedience, schools that rejected fusion, and the realization that authentic expression threatens those who police tradition.

Chapter 3: Walked Away - Five turning points, including Slovenia's Got Talent (where the national TV audience humiliated me for having body hair), confronting a teacher who wanted devotion over sovereignty, and the moment I stopped trying to fit into spaces not designed for authentic people.

Plus: An epilogue about what I was doing till now, and the declaration I wrote in 2011 that predicted everything: "I Don't Wanna Fit In."

Each story is told with honesty, just what actually happened when I kept choosing authenticity over acceptance.

This book is for anyone who's been repeatedly rejected and has started to doubt themselves. Because after the third rejection, that voice in your head starts to whisper: "Maybe they're right. Maybe you are too much, not good enough. Maybe you should tone it down. Why can’t you just be normal? Your body should be hidden. Your sexuality is inappropriate." But you know what? Fuck that! Move on with me!

This is what sovereignty looks like in practice: seeing clearly, choosing yourself, and leaving spaces that demand you shrink.

Not perfect. Not healed. Just unapologetically authentic.

Hobart's Heart of Attraction

Hobart’s Heart of Attraction

A Parable About Love, Healing, and the Energy That Changes Everything

What if love isn’t something you search for—but something you choose to radiate?

Hobart’s Heart of Attraction is a short, uplifting parable that explores the transformative power of unconditional love and the quiet wisdom that comes from opening one’s heart. Set in a peaceful valley, the story follows four individuals—Ray, Chloe, Eli, and Nora—each facing emotional challenges that reflect the inner struggles many people experience: fear, caution, self-doubt, and uncertainty about their place in the world.

At the center of their journey is Hobart, an English Cream Golden Retriever whose name means “bright heart.” Through his calm presence, joy, and unwavering love, Hobart becomes a living example of what it means to love without conditions or expectations. He doesn’t speak—but he teaches. He doesn’t fix—yet everything begins to heal.

As the characters spend time in the valley, they begin to understand a profound truth: love is not simply an emotion we wait to feel, but an energy we can choose to embody. The book’s central message is simple yet profound: when we open our hearts to love—toward ourselves, others, and life—everything becomes possible. Stress eases. Healing begins. Possibilities expand. Life aligns.

Inspired by the principles of the law of attraction and the idea that the heart carries the strongest energy we possess, Hobart’s Heart of Attraction delivers a gentle yet powerful message: when we radiate love, we attract healing, peace, and possibility.

Written in a simple, timeless parable style similar to Who Moved My Cheese, this book is perfect for readers seeking inspiration, emotional renewal, and a reminder of what truly matters.

Ideal for readers who enjoy:

• Inspirational and spiritual parables
• Books about love, healing, and mindfulness
• Gentle stories with deep meaning
• Animal-inspired wisdom and heart-centered living

Open your heart.
Let love lead.
Everything else will follow.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

     

The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of our mind. 

At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused witch was brought into the courtroom, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine. Three girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!” 

We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. We can measure this on a GSR or watch the brain waves on an fMRI.  This is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, sex, interpersonal relations, and life.

PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. The failure to understand that has led to the media’s preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry; a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.

In a critical study by Harvard, MIT, The National Science Foundation, and the Smithsonian, they found that we are often unable to get across even the most basic of ideas that we teach.  A study by the prestigious PEW Research Center found that America ranks 24th in the world in science. Why?  We still teach by rote memory and we have failed to get across the very information we need to think with.

The “New” in this approach involves integrating history, culture (Ch 9), perception (see p.189-197 on 3D images inside the brain), and life as an essential basis of understanding how the mind works (Ch. 2, 9, 10, and 17), and weaving together the threads that run through all the approaches into a more comprehensive whole (Ch 1-23).

These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how the mind works. Welcome to the deep woods…

A Medical Doctor Should Never Say That...:

Itinerary of an AIDS specialist

35 million people are still infected by the HIV virus across the globe, despite undeniable scienti c progress.
