Video lessons of my book "Open to Bliss"

I am a teacher. I teach people also through the medium of writing. My writing stems from my teaching. and my teaching comes from genuinely caring for people. I advise writers to become very familiar with their place in this existence. who or what are they? who or what are others. what is the relationships between us. what is existence. I advise writers to look into questions big and small such as these and having researched and delved into the problems of humanity to come up and find the solutions and apply them to life... to embody the solutions... to be the solutions.. to be the guiding way...to be the truth which they have found...and to write it down for future generations.

What I really love is to be of help to people in very significant ways over many generations. Personally it makes you feel good that your work is put so expertly onto paper. Meaning I like how I can decide how to express my thoughts to people.

I do not have writer's block. Typically I write about what I have already thoroughly researched and solved. Granted for the Book "Open to Bliss" I was Researching/Investigating, Solving, and Writing it bit by bit, but it was still in that order of research solve and then write. Now in the case of writing lets say something other than a scientific book, for example to write a book review. I was recently asked to do a book review for KrishnaKinkaris' work on The Five Love Songs (for God) of the Gopis (Cowherd Girls) entitiled: SRI GOPIJANA KE PANCHA PREM GITA. and I was not sue how to approach giving a review. I had already read the book, but I was not sure how to make my approach. so I waited until I came across an idea that would work well. So I basically remained calm unstressed and got on with my life, and when the idea came up I would notice it, and when I got a chance to write and when I was ready I began working on typing it out.

I got into writing "Open to Bliss" because I was curious how is it that one minute one is intensely interested in a woman sexually, and the next minute one doe snot care and is without desire and one is totally disinterested in anything sexually related and one gets busy with some other thing in life, be it chess, poetry music, or whatever. It was puzzling to me how this could be possible
