THIS WEEKEND & MORE HOLLIS LASHLEY
Here we wish to share his talent as an author. In this new book 'Surfing The Boundless Innerverse' the author reflects that we are gifted this treasure called 'Life'. We are aware that we exist. The ideas expressed in this book, encourage us to explore that vast 'lnnerverse' which lies beyond the physical realms of our being The author uses Poems, Stories, Philosophical insights, and other tools of literature to probe what lies within. The rhythm of these expressions attempts to define, discover and perhaps help to experience the freedom of Happiness, Joy and Human Consciousness at its optimum. It prods us to seek to understand and utilize the Lights of Humility and Compassion, to experience a world of Peace. Love is the act of moving beyond the narrow divisions of seeking for Power. What is the true foundation of our being? Is the Universe a mechanical accident, or is it alive with the invisible energy which powers all of life? Beneath the appearance of things material, is there only compacted nothingness, or some magic yet to be understood? Come my friend, join with me as we go 'Surfing The Boundless lnnerverse' Come, let us delve into a treasury of Inspiration, Motivation, Divine nsights and Poetic Images; coming from a source which is far greater, I believe, than this mortal identity.
