Conversion of Prisoners of Fame into an eBook Was a Journey

The journey:  you convert your InDesign manuscript files into PDF files, then you convert PDF files into .WORD files. In the process, adjusting your stuff to demands of electronic book readers (Kindle, Nook, iPhone etc.) you toss all pieces of your book into a single megafile, like into a salad mixing bag, shake and turn it into eBook. Simple? It is simple, but for some mystical reason it was 25^th converted version of Prisoners what was OK for uploading to KINDLE… I celebrated the holy moment in Las Robles Hospital’s Cardio Vascular Observation Unit.

Three days I was breathing oxygen while fine apparatuses were searching for my pulse. Finally, observers gave up, and after suggesting eat more carrots, they let me go. 

However, the darkest challenge may have a surprising silver lining.  The need to reread my own book endles times made me to re-edit, rewrite, add spirit messages, like the spirit message from Mary of Magdala.  At the very last moment, I realized that I have the second edition of my book, and suddenly, in some 15 minutes, the new Introduction to the second edition was added to the content of the megafile. If you are interested, you may want to buy the second edition from the Kindle store, typing into store search field the title of the book “Prisoners of Fame”.  Now it costs only $4.90, and I find it to be better than First (printed) Edition.  Here is the new introduction.     

PRISONERS OF FAME attempts to decipher unique and rare spirit messages from teachers like Paramahansa Yogananda and celebrities Elvis Presley, Ruth Montgomery, Vladimir Vysotsky, Myrna Loy, William Powell and Al (a  Hollywood star, comedian who preferred to stay anonymous). Speaking, as usual, about unfinished business on earth, they hint to materialization of  our thoughts in their world. And materializations of destructive thoughts hurt. Not only celebrities but departed souls of  average people experience the same problems in their afterlife. Yes, during the transition, unreleased negative thought forms go with us to the other side. In long run, these materializations make us reincarnate. Was I the first to receive these revelations? It did not take long to learn that cave people were aware of it! Wisdom of distinguished Theosophist Annie Besant, direct visions of great seers Sri Aurobindo and his collaborator, Mirra Alfassa, known in India as The Mother,  wisdom of Scottish magician, teacher and writer  Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, and writings of Russian mystics – the philosophical treatise “The Rose of the World” by Daniil Andreev,  books of self-improvement by best-selling author Alexander Sviyash, books about Transurfing Theory by quantumphysicist-turned-trans-medium Vadim Zealand helped to understand deeper the surprising messages from beyond. Trying not to hurt our feelings and not to instill fear, too often New Age publications avoid speaking about these inconvenient aspects of afterlife that may resurrect motive of hell in our consciousness. However, there is an important difference between the ancient pictures of everlasting hell and spirit messages from beyond in modern times. A person can do a lot of things to help himself: he can release some negativity both on earth and in afterlife, as did Elvis Presley helping people who died from OD. Maybe, it is time to accept basic facts about afterlife, that were well-known in ancient cultures all over the world.  However, too often  this knowledge was wrapped into fear-fed fantasies and prejudicial stories.  But, as Myrna Loy put it, “It doesn’t matter, do you believe in it, or not,  it is there!”  We accumulate negative thought forms daily.  They make us sick, unhappy and at certain point cause our death. Of course, we want to know  more about workings of hidden forces of life, as Sri Aurobindo and Mirra Alfassa call these forces.  In the book, the ends are tied up by incredible spirit messages from Paramahansa Yogananda and Luule Viilma,  an Estonian doctor and a seer. (After collapse of the Soviet  regime, she wrote 8-volume series of books about the impact of our thoughts on our health.) You will read about truth vibrations, the ultimate tool of soul cleansing;  about ‘fir tree’ effect –release of sensual attachments to material pleasures and desires;  the ‘vacuum cleaner’ effect produced by forgiveness and sincere servicing others, about benefits of meditation, prayer,  mantras; about the deepest need to train mind to stay calm and positive in any given life situation. The celebrities’ experience in their afterlife helps us understand better true meaning and purpose of positive thinking. More, these candid spirit messages will expand our understanding why churches were built, why religious and moral teachings were created, or, why last rites and numerous cleansing rites were observed, why parents taught kids to pray before going to bed, why people prayed starting the day — always for building mental connection to light and asking for Divine protection and guidance in our everlasting search of way out of Darkness to Light!
