Enlighten YOURSELF! The Art of Silent Knowing

by Della Van Hise

Establishing a permanent link to the state of silent knowing (gnosis) is perhaps the greatest thing anyone can accomplish, for it is through that link that the seeker finds herself having a one-on-one conversation with the Infinite. Call it god or goddess, call it the double or the higher self... however you see it, it is through silent knowing that you truly gain the power to Enlighten yourself in ways no earthly teacher ever could. What is silent knowing? Simply put, it is learning to ask questions of that vast sentience which is the universe, the All, and simply the Self. If we are wise, we learn how to listen to the answers which come back to us. That is the art of silent knowing, the garden of gnosis.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WORKSHOP PREVIEWA sneak preview of one of the many exercisesfor exploring the art of silent knowing.This initial exercise is fundamental and absolutely simple. It can even be fun. But be as you begin to dismantle what you believe, you will come face to face with the realization that actual knowledge is only available through direct personal experience. Do you believe Borneo exists? Probably you do, but can you say with certainty based solely on your personal experience? What about elves? Do you believe in elves? Probably not. But can you be sure elves don’t exist? Do you believe, as most humans do, that all things die? Probably you do. But can you allow for the possibility that there are things you simply do not and perhaps cannot know? Is it not possible that immortals walk among us and pass for human, but because we are conditioned to believe that isn’t true, we live our lives as if what we believe is Absolute Truth? And if we already believe something isn’t real, do we have any motivation to explore beyond the limitations of the belief itself? For as long as man accepted that the earth was flat, the earth was flat, at least to the perceptions of those who believed it. For as long as it was generally believed that man cannot fly, man didn’t fly. And yet… everything begins with a thought. Everything begins with questioning those common beliefs until the warrior, like the Wright brothers, begins to create his own reality and expand his awareness beyond the confines of the existing consensus.~All Quantum Shaman™ workshops are designed for the individual practitioner - giving you the freedom to work at your own pace in your own space. No group participation is required.These workshops are designed to challenge you at the deepest level of your existing belief systems - bringing you in contact with your higher self. Every workshop will have an indicator as to beginning, intermediate or advanced, though beginners may benefit from advanced workshops and vice versa. There is always more to learn, no matter where we are on our path. ~Also included with this Kindle edition are bonus materials, which include the Quantum Shaman's Glossary, plus the first chapter of Della Van Hise's new book, SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL (also available on Amazon for Kindle).

About the author

Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house.

Della's writing started around age 11, when she would bang out some of the very earliest "fan fiction" on an old Smith Corona typewriter. No, not an electric one. A real antique, made of metal and heavier than a wet coffin. Her first professional novel was best-selling KILLING TIME - the controversial Star Trek novel which was recalled and re-edited in 1984. None of the rumors were true, of course. It was just a Star Trek book - but apparently a good enough work that the first "reboot" movie borrowed heavily from the plot and structure.

More recently, Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as QUANTUM SHAMAN: DIARY OF A NAGUAL WOMAN and SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL. "Quantum Shaman" focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while "Scrawls" is a continuation of those journeys many years later. If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise.

In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her most recent fiction works include Ragged Angels (an award-winning vampire novel); Year of the Ram (a space-faring gay romance); and COYOTE - a romantic science fiction novel combining the mystical aspects of martial arts, coming of age, and personal sacrifice.

Della's favorite mantras include:
The destruction of faith is the beginning of evolution.
You have to BE immortal before you can know how to BECOME immortal.
The core of your beliefs determines the realities you *see* and obliterates those you choose to ignore.
