Biography
The goal of my writings is to expand what you can think, feel and become, to invite you to the dance. They include two self-help psychology books. Papers, such as How to Create Useful Idiots, and Amoral Science---Brainless Religion. A play and book about what happens when a group of university professors invite a shaman from the Sonoran Desert to show them his world. And, the wild adventures of Alice, a street-wise, highly intelligent brat, who cons her way into UC Berkeley, and discovers the ancient Egyptian World of Shadow.
A warning! Not intended for the easily offended! Adult language is used when appropriate to the narrative, as in ALICE, and techniques for enhancing sexuality are given in THE MAGIC THEATER II. Taboos are broken. Political correctness ignored. Old habits and ways of thinking challenged. You need to have a firm grip on reality, and a reasonably stable life, otherwise best to pass on by.
