David Daniel The human race ignored the Earth and ravaged Her resources. Mother Earth retaliated by bringing her fury and vengeance upon them for their insolence.
David Daniel With White Tantric Yoga: 40 Days to Divinity, I wanted to capture for the reader what it was like to experience WTY and the profound effects it has on our consciousness. Many people have no idea what this ancient form of yoga is and don't understand how transformative it can be on our consciousness.

It is very challenging to face our own neurosis and I wanted to give an honest and raw account of my own experience so that those that do want to experience can use to let them know they are not alone in the quest for spiritual transformation. It is challenging and oftentimes we want to quit but if we persevere and we work on our consciousness we have the ability to rise above our shadow self and become a beacon of light to those around us.
David Daniel Music is oftentimes the instigator of my inspiration. I will hear a song and stories come firing to my imagination.
David Daniel I am currently in the final rewrite stages of my novel, The Blue Pearl. I began writing this book soon after my father died and I completed the first draft in about a year but then I left the book in a drawer for almost 4 years.

It was fear that prevented me from releasing it and now I am in a place where I know it is time for me to release it. It will be out December of 2018.
David Daniel Write, write, write. Get something on the page and know in your heart that you will eventually return to it to polish and refine it. So many people say, "One day I am going to write a book." Until you sit down and put the words on the page you are simply like millions of other people who claim that they will one day write a book.

Write the very best book you have inside of you and don't worry about how/where you will get it published. If they work has merit it WILL find an audience and most times it will come in the unlikeliest of places.
David Daniel Unlike film where several hands are involved in bringing the finished product to fruition, writing novels and other works can be accomplished in complete solitude and with little compromise in regards to the content of the book. I love the freedom of expressing my vision the way I conceive it and then having the finished product show up in the reader's hands for them to experience.

Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing the initial intention in material form and to see another person getting the opportunity to peak inside my world.
David Daniel For me, writing is a joyful experience and I write because it's a form of release for me. On days when I am not feeling inspired I simply choose not to write. I don't ever force myself to write so therefore there is never any pressure to produce anything.

Most of writing is a mental construct so when I relieve myself of the pressure of producing new works and I approach it in a joyful manner I seldom have any problems of putting the words on to the page.
