Neko Case is THE BOMB!!!

Some time ago, I got intrigued by reviews of the Indie Band The New Pornographers.

Then, lead singer Neko Case released a new solo album, which was available on EMusic. I downloaded it, and have been playing it religiously ever since.

(Zut alors, she's playing Toronto ON April 2, and I can't get tickets!)

Anyway, you need to check out her stuff. Her album,
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood,
is simply amazing. (By the bye, that link is to Amazon CANADA!)
The US site is:
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood - Amazon US

And, as a plus, she is definitely easy on the eyes.

Her site, (not much there yet, but you can watch a video) is here.

There's a good review of the album here.

Sensuality, Sexuality, Spirituality Entwined

The next issue of Into the Centre will continue a theme I started last week. We'll be looking at how our beliefs about sensuality and sexuality are a guide to our internal state of both awareness and comfort.

What, then, to my wondering eyes should appear, but an interesting article in Thursday's Toronto Star, on the sculptures at Khajuraho, India.

Here's a quote from the article:
"But whatever the reason, the sculptures and the temples never fail to overwhelm tourists with their beauty and their explicit sexual content. The sculptures capture a time in India's history when sensuality, sexuality and spirituality were all entwined, local experts said.
"The same is not the case today, said New Delhi resident Indira Wadhwa, a tour leader for Intrepid Travel, an Australian travel company that specializes in Southeast Asia. The influence of Muslim and Mogul rulers greatly changed the way Hinduism is practised in modern times, she said.
"The connection between sensuality, sexuality and spirituality that is depicted so strongly in these erotic temples has been lost in much of modern Hinduism, Wadhwa said."

We'll be exploring the link between sexuality and spirituality in the next issue of ITC.

The Secret - an amazing Movie

Blogging, Blogging

I've decided to start a blog, as a way for you to drop us a line, and for us to keep you informed about new things we're doing, seeing, and using. In a sense, the links to "stuff" I used to put in Into the Centre are now going to be here.

To begin, I've got a great movie for you to see. One of my good Internet friends, Joe Vitale, is one of the folk on the film, which is called The Secret. To watch it online you need broadband and a PayPal account ($4.95 US)

The movie, in a sense, picks up where What the Bleep... left off. You'll learn the secret to having the kind of life, relationships, health you deserve. I won't share the exact secret with you, but it so dovetails with what I write about in Into the Centre and in my book, This Endless Moment. Self-responsible behaviour is a key to everything.

Anyway, click the link to The Secret, have a look at the trailers, and let me know what you think!
