'What an absolutely eye-opening joy your book has been! It has made me think of creativity in a whole new light.' JESSE LYNN SMART, freelance editor, and writer 'Helen encourages the development of personal insight into creativity and a deeper understanding of the learning process. This is a book that deserves a long shelf life ...' ALEX MAIN, psychologist, Associate Professor, Murdoch University '...a good guide to making life-changes.' PETER MURNANE, author of Archways to the Infinite ... I'm allowing myself to transform in ways that nurture my creativity, so that in essence I'm also effortlessly and spontaneously celebrating creativity, which again brings feelings of unbidden joy. We are all inherently creative beings. From a very early age, however, we are influenced by the hierarchical values of society; we are taught to focus on following the rules and striving for success by measurable standards, with very little importance placed on creative expression. Creativity: Stepping into Wholeness sheds light on this rigid way of life. Combining personal experience with extensive scholarly research, Dr Helen Ferrara leads us away from the stifling rules of always 'colouring in within the lines' towards a reunion with our own creativity, our own unique beingness. By embracing and nurturing our innate creativity, we become truly free to lead more fulfilling, joyful lives. Celebrating creativity is when you let go of everything that's been holding you back and you start dancing again to your own inner music - the music of your heart.

Who we most deeply are is mirrored in our artistic work. Our need for mirroring simultaneously attracts us to and repels us from our creative callings and relationships. It is one of life's great dilemmas. Artist's block and lover's block flow from the same pool. Often, we fear deeply the very thing needed to create original art, to experience intimate relationships and to live authentic lives: we are frightened by the impulse to be fully revealed to ourselves, and to others, as this most often entails exposing the unacceptable shadowy aspects of our humanity and risking rejection. Mirrors in all their manifold guises permit us to safely see and experience ourselves in reflection and become better acquainted with the rejected, ostracized aspects of our personalities. Creative work is one of the few places where we can truly express and witness lost aspects of our authentic selves. Within us a treasure beckons. This is what we spend our lives pursuing. What slows and distracts us is not the object we long for, but where we search. To find this precious gem, we must eventually return to our own creative spirits.

One evening in 1991, businessman Don Marr was awakened suddenly from his sleep by a mysterious force. Ideas flowed swiftly through his mind as his hand would write on its own. He was told that this was a voluntary process that could be stopped at any time. He arose that night and many nights to follow. His efforts resulted in two books: A GATEWAY TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS, and MY FATHER CALLS ME, (One Mans Way Back To GOD.) In this third book, the dialogue format of MY FATHER CALLS ME (One Mans Way Back To GOD) continues. The emphasis is on the concept of all of us being AT 1. What comments would someone who understands that we are all one have for us? Will the universe really shift to this idea? When might it happen? These issues are addressed in the question-and-answer format that were used in Dons previous book. The dialogue between Self and Higher Self concerns the knowledge about our future.
