Penney Peirce shows us how to let go of everything that gets in our way - the obstacles, clutter, and fears - to truly achieve greater authenticity, clarity of purpose, and feelings of belonging and joy. By transforming our opaque reality into a state of transparency, the dividing lines that fragment and isolate us melt away and all that's left is the true self - connecting us to everything and everyone. Transparency helps you learn that when you're transparent, there is great power in being seen for all of who you are.

Buyers today have knowledge at their fingertips and most of their information gathering will routinely happen before you even walk through the door or get them on the phone. Armed with information, their guard is up - and they are skeptical. Today, anyone buying anything relies on reviews and feedback shared by strangers and often trust those anonymously posted experiences more than the claims made by the providers of the products or services themselves. They expect to see the full picture and find out all of the pros and cons before making any purchase.

As a busy surgeon who has worked in many of the best hospitals in the nation, he can testify to the amazing power of modern medicine to cure. But he's also been a witness to a medical culture that routinely leaves surgical sponges inside patients, amputates the wrong limbs, and overdoses children because of sloppy handwriting.

Assumptions are the most potent of ideas but also the least understood. Transparent reveals what assumptions we make, how they control us, and how they are all inherently religious. Even atheists are religious at the level of their assumptions. Some assumptions are true, and most are not. How can you tell without being an intellectual? Transparent introduces the Transparent App, an innovative and creative tool that helps people quickly see through the messages they encounter daily in the things they read, watch, and hear using the power of assumptions.

The twenty-four yoga meditations in Transparent Body, Luminous World were transcribed and selected from several hundred guided meditations that Rupert Spira gave at meetings and retreats in Europe and the USA since 2012. The meditations explore the experience of the body and world as a continuously changing flow of sensations and perceptions appearing in, known by and made of Awareness. In this approach to meditation – which Spira calls the Tantric Yoga of Sensation and Perception – Awareness turns again towards the objects of experience.

Perry's mother told him he'd develop the superpower of flight, like his grandfather. She even named him Peregrine, so folks would call him "The Falcon." Spoiler— they don't. Because when he did come into his power, all he got was the ability to change colors. Not even himself, like some kind of Chameleon Man, but the color of objects. He can de-pukify the shade of his bedroom curtains, turn a bully's sweatshirt pink, or even turn a red traffic light green. (Not a good idea.) He hasn't told anyone except his disappointed mom about his power. What would they call him? The Interior Decorator?

During the states versus Live Nation trial I was in the courtroom one morning before the jury came in, ready to argue my motion to unseal Live Nation / Ticketmaster's filing. Then something unexpected happened. Judge Arun Subramanian chided both sides for a telephone conference he said he'd held the night before at 8 pm. He said he had read the letters they had "filed" after the call. But there was no notice of the telephone conference in the public docket on PACER. The letters they said were "filed" were not there, even in redacted form. On behalf of Inner City Press, which had already ...
