Here is an artist by the name of Robert Ruckman who, after having read my books and putting into practice the materials, was inspired to paint this painting entitled “The Lightning Path.” It’s very cool, a beautiful painting, and a wonderful honour.

Here’s my most recent on camera interview. Decent overview of the Lighting Path and my approach to spiritual teaching.

Ever since I started writing my mystical books back in 2002, and ever since I published my chakra meditation, The Great Invocation, I’ve keeping an informal eye on the impact that chakra meditation and the revision of concepts and archetypes can have on individuals. It’s been quite dramatic. Although I have only anecdotal observations at this point, I can see that the individuals who practice the Great Invocation experience some rather profound personal and spiritual growth. Anecdotally, I’ve seen individuals overcome serious psychological distress, and step into a more confident and empowered existence, merely by activating their physical unit and stepping through the muck and the mud raised up the invocation process.
Watching this process unfold either in private consultation, or in our public online forums, it recently struck me that the Great Invocation has therapeutic potential. Working with people in a client based setting, you can have people do the Great Invocation (it takes only a moment or two several times a day) and then, as their “issues” and fears, past traumas and oppressions, are “brought to light,” you can work with them on processing these issues. Considering how difficult it can be to get people to recover repressed materials, the Great Invocation can be an incredible therapeutic boon allowing psychoanalytically oriented therapists to systematically uncover all sorts of repressed psychological trauma.
With the potential utility of the Great Invocation in mind, we have begun working on clinical trials of the Great Invocation and it’s potential utility in psychotherapeutic practice. The hope is that we will be able to demonstrate the psychotherapeutic utility of this meditative practice, and provide a new modality with which to work with client in a psychodynamic, humanistic, or transpersonal practice. We’ll be posting case study updates, and theoretical foundations, at casestudy.michaelsharp.org.

I just finished a radio interview with Phil Harris of Blogtalk Radio. It was actually a great interview. We covered a lot of ground, got into my perspective on 2012, and I even got into some “predictions” about the sorts of things we can expect to start rolling out maybe as soon as 2009 in places like South Africa

The following is the text from an interview I did for Cosmic Lighthouse (online magazine). It was actually an awesome interview with some of the best questions about my work I’ve ever had. I’m enclosing it here for interest.
