Let There Be Books!

One common thread in the meta-messages of both featured authors is that “perfect love casts out fear.” From opposite ends of the East Coast, Katrina Mayer and J.B.(James) Glossinger each hold a doctoral degree in metaphysics from AIHT.

She is a Manhattan banking executive and interfaith minister who begins each day with devotional readings and reflections from A Course in Miracles. He is a Miami-based motivational speaker whose book sales benefit three charities. Each is in the midst of a vision quest—as are we all.

The Mustard Seed Way

Ten years ago, a life-threatening condition plunged Katrina Mayer into the cold darkness of depression. By actively outwitting virulent armies of physical and psychic invaders, she reshaped each catastrophe into a catalyst for change and a seed of transformation.

The name of her first book comes from an original poem; her message was inspired by Ezekiel 47. Within each chapter is poetry, prose, and in the end, a “mustard seed moment.” In fact there are 16 in all.

Alongside human waves of pre- and post-911 prayer ceremonies in NYC’s Central Park, Katrina Mayer has “shared a sacred breath” with peace seekers such as Yoko Ono and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. She enjoys yoga, travel, and “opening doors with life-coaching.” To learn more: www.vistacoaching.com

Get Out of Neutral

On the written page and on six CDs that are narrated by the author, J.B. Glossinger’s Get Out of Neutral: Manifest the Life Experience You Desire flashes its secrets like lightning bolts, moving faster than summer as it nudges spectators out of their easy chairs with hints and glimpses of how exhilarating it feels to “play full-out, until you’re breathless, then savor a sweet rest and leap back into the game.”

Inside of 20 years, James’ sales career soared—from street-peddling cosmetics to buying and selling jumbo jets. Since earning his MBA he has survived hurricanes, left corporate life in his mid-30s, and “rediscovered heaven on earth.”

His dissertation, on bringing spirituality back into the workplace, helped J.B. Glossinger to articulate the importance of becoming more aware of our true intentions.

This insight, he explains, helps to dissolve chaos and power struggles. It creates momentum, flow, and blessings. Among his joys are fantasy football, puppy love, and taking care of the business of life. To learn more: www.alivefoundation.com
