Money, Sex, Power & Faith: Questioning the Building Blocks of Civil-ization

For those in search of a new direction in the New Economy, after a year without using money, Steve McAllister provides the basics for the new revolution and hope for a new renaissance. At a time when financial systems are falling apart, economic and gender inequality abound, trust in government is at an all time low, people are losing faith in their religion, and the world faces possible cataclysmic climate change, Money, Sex, Power & Faith offers a glimpse at how we got to this point and where we go from here. Looking at how our culture was created by weaving these disparate entities together over the last 10,000 years, this book takes an insightful, witty, incendiary and hopeful look at the foundations of our civilization to ask the hard questions that must be asked about finance, equality, America and Christianity.

“… a deep and historical, multi-cultural tour de force that sheds light on who we are as humans, and what we have become as a result of our pursuit of wealth and power. Perhaps partly due to the unique perspective conferred by his cashless year, Steve McAllister remains refreshingly optimistic and compassionate throughout.” – Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow at the Post Carbon Institute and author of Afterburn, The Party’s Over and The End of Growth.

How to Survive an Estralarian Mind Meld

Do you believe in aliens? I didn’t I until I met a couple of them. They told me some things that I already knew, and they also showed me things I could have never imagined.

The basic gist of what the aliens had to tell us is that the vast majority of the problems that we face are basically due to bad habits. The solutions are largely just about shifting perspective and re-focusing attention. To be fair, an Estralarian Mind Meld is about more than that, but it’s the best summation I can give of having your cranial cavity shoved through an inter-dimensional vortex.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration on becoming an entrepreneur in the New Economy or if you just like a good story that makes you smile often and sometimes laugh out loud, How to Survive an Estralarian Mind Meld should be at the top of your reading list. Called “addictive,” “stellar,” “a rollicking romp of a book,” and a “wildly entertaining ride,” this little book has readers going back to it time and again for more delightful nuggets of wisdom, inspiration, and insight. Get your copy today.

 Mindful Manifestation Meditation

What do you want to do with your life? What goals do you want to achieve? What dreams do you aspire to?

Meditation is one of the simplest and most effective techniques for creating peace of mind and good health. For centuries, people from a variety of traditions have used meditation as a means of centering themselves, finding balance, and even manifesting their desires through the power of their own thoughts. Although some still view meditation as some sort of lofty practice used by the spiritual elite, more and more people are integrating meditation into their daily lives, and you can too.

As the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke once said, “The only journey is the one within.” Meditation will take you on that inner journey so that you can more enjoyably experience the journey without… without stress, without dis-ease, and without worry.

Allow yourself to take this journey, for by doing so, you will open yourself up to a life that is less stressful and an existence that is much more abundant. Give yourself the gift of meditation, and start your journey toward a more complete life of knowing yourself and your ability to create the life you want.
