The Biggest Culture Shock: Americans in Movies vs. Real Life

Edit Article |

]]>

I’ve often wondered about something:

Why is it that on TV and in movies, Americans are so open, friendly, sociable, communicative, and easily invite you into their cliques, taking you out for fun and introducing you to others? They act so warm, emotional, full of life and feeling, and are easy to talk to and get involved with. And in romance/drama films of old (less so nowadays) people were so passionate and full of feeling in their eyes and expression, as though they were fully aware and conscious.

But in real life, Americans are generally uptight, closed, cliquish, paranoid, anti-social outside their clique, difficult to meet, don’t talk to you unless its business related, and basically ignore you and expect you to mind your own business while they mind theirs. People are in a bubble and there is an “ice barrier” between strangers. They seem like zombies/automatons who are totally unaware and oblivious to others around them, as though they were not fully conscious. They are always in a rush to get through their daily routine. They seem totally uninterested and unconcerned with human connection. And if you are not like that too, you stick out like a sore thumb, like you are in a sort of Twilight Zone – in a different reality from everyone else!

Why is there such a HUGE difference that no one talks about?! It’s so bizarre, like the Twilight Zone!

My friend and cultural advisor, a former US immigrant who speaks 10 languages, has been to over 30 countries and is an expert in cultural analyses, made the same observation in my forum when he described the biggest culture shock that immigrants face in America:

http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8855

“I think generally, the biggest culture shock that people experience in the US is not between their country and the US but between what they thought the US would be and what it actually is. Books and movies about America make the place appear very free and exciting and happening and the people are so interesting and emotional. There is sex and fun and romance going on. When they arrive, the place looks very conservative and the people appear robotic and quiet. Sex is subdued and hard to come by. The people are not open at all, they look closed and mistrustful. Everybody is just working and looking tired and apathetic. Talking to strangers is taboo. There are thousands of little rules and laws and social mores that seem as dogmatic and strict as those in a Muslim society. And every time you are at risk of breaking yet another law and facing very dire consequences. That is the biggest culture shock of all.”

This is so blatantly obvious, yet no one talks about it. To do so would make you look like a loser, so no one dares to. It’s like an “Emperor’s New Clothes” syndrome. Either that, or people don’t see it due to the cognitive dissonance of their programming.

There is also an unspoken social law that says that anywhere you go, you MUST say that people are very friendly and wonderful, or you say nothing at all. Or you can blame yourself. But you are NOT allowed to say that people are anti-social. That is a big taboo and No-No.

The Exciting Reality of the Afterlife Rejected by Closed Minded Skeptics

Listening to actual recorded descriptions of “the undiscovered country” through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint is always incredible, thrilling, breathtaking, and astounding. When I first heard some of this material I could not contain my excitement, I became a raving maniac and to the annoyance of my associates, it was all I could talk about for weeks! It is so fantastic! It is so much like being in “The Twilight Zone” or in some other science fiction program, or seeing for the first time full color panoramic photos of another planet, or realizing that a miracle of biblical proportions just took place as if Moses himself just came back and divided the Red Sea again. In fact Saint Matthew himself did come back to speak.

Then again, I was just as dumbfounded by the almost universal lack of interest, and sometimes even complete rejection, fear and/or hatred of this subject of spiritualism. I have no doubt whatsoever of Leslie Flint’s mediumship, and the only real darkness in this world comes from the darkness of those who’s belief systems are too closed-minded, materialistic and restricted to know the real truth. Don’t you just “love” those closed-minded materialistic skeptical debunker “professors” who always seem to “officially” condemn a subject without first carefully studying it? They have to be the ultimate practitioners of “professional” mental laziness! There is nothing wrong with being skeptical, in fact it is healthy to be that way and we need to be very careful when it comes to accepting what others say and their opinions. It becomes a problem only when one gets too closed minded, or outright cynical to the point where the possibility of gaining vital knowledge or a tremendous discovery on the frontier of science is permanently closed off. Any extraordinary claim or phenomenon of a spiritual or paranormal nature needs to be investigated thoroughly and objectively without the distortions of a prejudiced, closed minded, and materialistic attitude.

“Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” – Albert Einstein

Apparently, even Albert Einstein hated prejudiced debunkers. Anyway, I can now confidently enjoy the excitement, awe and wonder of learning everything I can about this amazing “undiscovered country” that lies beyond all the horizons of our physical reality here on Earth. Now that I have been listening to the “Leslie Flint” voices for several months, I fully realize the sheer enormity and gravity of the need to establish communication between the worlds as easily as calling someone in a different country would have to be the greatest breakthrough in the history of humankind. This possibility is not science fiction or some far-fetched fantasy.

The afterlife is as real as you and I and in many ways is even more real because of its finer nature, intelligence, texture and subtlety of consciousness. Therefore, the astral planes are not at all the dreamy, fairylike, wishy-washy worlds often populated with the spaced-out beings that are described by so many popular authors and books on the subject.

Those who have written about their astral travels to these planes are often limited in their descriptions because the physical and astral brains operate on a different level and so much gets lost in the translation to physical memory that the subconscious mind and dream states get in the way. I do a little astral projection myself, but tend to forget most of it! In spite of all these difficulties, astral projection can still be a reliable and wondrous way to discover what the truth is regarding the afterlife.

The reason the astral and spiritual worlds are far more natural, free, superior, alive, and comprehensive than anyone or anything on Earth is that the reality of the afterlife consists of much finer atoms, particles, energies, higher dimensions, and intelligent laws and forces than all the heavier, more massive and awkward material atoms and laws of physics physical things are made from and subject to. Life on Earth is only a pale reflection of the life to come. Far from being the highest, the physical level is actually one of the crudest levels of existence there is. There are many, much higher and finer levels of existence or vibration (spheres) to ascend into, and endless numbers of places, things to do, discover and explore, and vast amounts of information on every subject available and an expansion of awareness and knowledge that goes way beyond materialistic, earthly concepts and understanding.

An Absolutely Natural, Complete and Profoundly Fulfilling Existence

These vast, and often inconceivable worlds are filled with absolute thrills and marvels many of which, especially on the higher planes are very hard to describe, in fact are too beautiful to describe. The planes or spheres of existence closest to Earth tend to be the easiest to describe in terms the average person can comprehend. But there is much activity and amazing civilizations on all spheres, on all levels. There are beautiful cities, towns, villages, art colonies, art galleries, movie theaters, stages, operas, museums, schools, stores (not commercial), libraries, vast natural landscapes, continents, forests, gardens, huge flowers, very tame loving animals, mountains, meadows, plains, seas, boats, ships, yachts, lakes, waterfalls, and anything and everything else really wonderful and good that one can imagine and not imagine. (God I wish I could go there, take some photos, come back and upload them to this website!)

Regarding what it is exactly like to live in the higher spheres: imagine all the above but with an extra dimension or dimensions added, with even more colors along with even higher and deeper levels of sensitivity, sophistication, beauty, love, opportunity, and levels of consciousness with the absolute beauties of nature multiplied hundreds and hundreds of times over evolving on to infinity. No mystic teaching or religion can or has correctly foretold the actual experiences we will all one day so intensely enjoy! God knows how much I have distorted it in my own feeble attempts to describe it. Trying to explain this form of existence is even harder than trying to talk about colors with a blind person, because there are so many new levels of experience that these souls are trying to convey that simply do not exist in the limited materialistic terms and concepts that we on Earth are stuck with. Many of the souls would never want to go back to live on Earth which is in comparison to heaven, a very limited, elementary, primitive state of life indeed.

The Colors Are Far More Vivid, Extensive and Varied

In the astral worlds the souls often marvel at all the new colors they can see! They say they can perceive and enjoy many new colors in nature that go far beyond the physical spectrum and some souls have counted as many as 77 colors. I am assuming that this phenomenon of advanced and extended color perception is due to a remarkable extension of visual sensitivity beyond violet into much higher frequencies of light such as UV, X-rays, and gamma rays and perhaps even into the lower wave-lengths beyond the red spectrum as well such as infrared and microwaves, etc. but I am even less sure of this, as I would suppose perception is much more likely extended only toward the higher end of the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the lower end, as souls often say they are much more aware of higher vibrations rather than lower ones.

Eating and Sleeping in the Afterlife

One man, Sid Hopkins, in a rather humorous account of the afterlife, said his first experience right after dying was finding himself comfortably sitting in a parlor of a lovely, familiar place being served with a cup of tea by his wife who had died 15 years ago, yet looked like she was in her early twenties. At least two other times in the seances, a certain individual was welcomed to his new life with either a beautiful young woman or one’s very lovely wife wearing a beautiful outfit serving tea! And in yet another seance it was a lovely woman serving a glass of lemonade from a freshly squeezed lemon! Yes, new arrivals to the spiritual life are often warmly welcomed with food and/or beverages by deceased relatives and/or friends looking many years younger and in a posh setting. One would often “live” on a light diet or fruit, soups and/or teas, etc. before realizing that eating and drinking is no longer really needed or necessary and is just a condition of mental habit however strong and real it may seem at first. Instead of possibly starving or feeling hungry, one should continue to eat a little at first anyway until one no longer feels the need. Many souls even after years of astral life still on social occasions like to eat and serve light snacks, beverages and fruit. I have not yet heard of heavier foods such as meat and/or fish being served, but if they could imagine it, I suppose they could.

There are periods of twilight and restfulness that souls enjoy but no actual night or darkness except in the lower spheres. Those who first enter the afterlife often go through a deep, rejuvenating sleep lasting for several days, depending on the need and development of the individual. After that deep rest, one never really sleeps again except after many, many years later in preparation to enter into yet a higher sphere at the end of their interests and activities in a lower sphere. They can and often do come back to the lower sphere(s) to teach and share spiritual truths.

Natural Realities Molded by Thought

There may very well be certain forms of trade and/or barter in the various conditions of life, cultures, etc. found on some of the lower spheres, but I have yet to hear of anything to do with the actual existence of money, accounting systems, or banking, etc. An economic system is not at all needed on the astral planes because one’s character, thoughts, karmic conditions, powerful innate creative abilities, and mental/emotional outlook seem to create and/or attract whatever is needed. One’s desires, level of intelligence, mental/emotional outlook, and heartfelt motives determine exactly what one does, experiences and gets to have in the way of companions, housing, land, personal items, and clothing (which often resembles Roman togas and/or Grecian robes, etc.) The astral worlds seem to be a dynamic mixture of completely real, natural, material, objective realities yet strongly influenced or molded by creative, positive thought forces or intentions. This is how everything natural in the way it was experienced on Earth is uniformly combined with the most perfect circumstances and joy and happiness possible. It is quite remarkable.

All souls ultimately evolve into ever more beautiful states of existence. The spirits often say it is a perfect world and they have never, ever been happier and to never fear dying because dying is absolutely the best thing that had ever happened to them! They are quite content and are often bewildered when told that there will always be even more beautiful, even lovelier, higher places or spheres they can evolve and move into.

Earthbound Souls, Suicide, and the Problem With Reincarnation

It is one’s state of evolution and consciousness that determines what sort of afterlife one finds one’s self in after the crossing from this world into the realms beyond it. One’s spiritual progress or development is largely dependent on the degree of one’s personal illumination, love, understanding and forgiveness. We will explore what happens to souls who are overly steeped in materialism, and to those that commit suicide. Also we will try to solve the problem of reincarnation.

Skeptical Debunkers and the Afterlife

One of the greatest sources of afterlife information ever was the British direct voice medium Leslie Flint (1911-1994). His seance sessions were well documented and recorded. During any seance, voices would resonate out of thin air around the medium. Throughout all the decades of his mediumship, no one could find any evidence of fraud or any sort of trickery. Leslie Flint was perhaps the most tested and verified medium who ever lived.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 2

Bashar’s teachings on the “law of attraction” and related subjects are the most powerful, clear and extraordinary I have ever encountered. His knowledge comes to us from his multidimensional viewpoint, which to him is quite obvious and free of the confusion which so often plagues us “three-dimensional” beings. Bashar is here to help guide this world out of the darkness of limiting beliefs into a reality of spiritual light, love, abundance and universal peace.

The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M. Stanley, and Bashar himself.

Does time and distance really exist in the afterlife? If so, what are they like in the afterlife? Why is it so difficult for souls to communicate with Earth? What sort of multidimensional properties exist in the afterlife that don’t exist on Earth?

The principle message in monotheistic religions is to believe in one God and worship only Him!

In David’s Psalms we read about the eternal God, the one and only.The Pslams are prayers in the temples of God reciting acknowledgment, love, trust and worship. In the Torah ( the Law)the only thesis is that of belief in God. The first and foremost of the ten Commandments (Decalogue) is to believe and worship the one eternal God. Yahweh (YHWH) is the one true God, it is prohibited having other gods before Yahweh, and making or worshiping idols. It threatens punishment for those who reject him.

The Djahili era and the ‘ilm era according to the Islamic outlook is the division between two classifications of epochs, one before Islam and the second after Islam.
In this article we shall focus of the Djahili Epoch.
The Jahili era refers to the ‘epoch of ignorance’ in the Arabic language( from the verb: jahila. yajhalu, jahlan and jahalatan and the actor is called Jahil). For the Arabic pronunciation j must be preceded by d and thus Jahil ought to be pronounced as djahil (ignorant).

Islam: The divine message sent to Muhammad (Qur’anic View)

The divine message informing humans to believe in one, indivisible God, the eternal and only unique God, who is not begotten and begets none is a repeated message to mankind over time.
This divine message is terminated in the Qur’anic message revealed to Muhammad over twenty years between 610 and 632 Our Era.
Muhammad was an unlettered man, a Shepard looking after some sheep for the account of another person.
Muhammad received the visit of Archangel Gabriel in 610 while looking after the sheep.

Mysterious lights could be seen along with the sound of massive and prolonged thunder that lasted far too long to be considered as originating from an ordinary electrical storm.

What is Enlightenment and How Do You Achieve It?

Ever since I had known about Paramhansa Yogananda, I have always longed to be “enlightened.” By “enlightenment” I do not mean in the usual intellectual sense, but as a state of “yoga” or union with one’s higher Self, which is very much in tune with the truth and with the manifested creation we all dwell in. The kind of enlightenment I am writing about is a permanent happiness and fulfillment above and beyond the trials and tribulations of worldly existence.

Simply praying may not help much. Instead it may be more effective to meditate intensely for more than 15 minutes on the actual result of one’s intent which must be in tune with the good of all and never against anyone’s wishes. By understanding some of the timeless, mystical truths deeply embedded in the Lord’s Prayer, one can find great comfort, guidance and inner peace, knowing that God’s will for all is only happiness and prosperity.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance – Part 1

There is always within ourselves a wonderful essence of knowledge and joy that can be tapped into and enjoyed. Through regular meditation on pure love, and habitual thoughts of God’s wonderful qualities, one can live in wholeness. What one habitually thinks and feels often determines the sort of life one will experience. It is possible to improve one’s outlook on life and vibration rate through correct eating, forgiveness, knowing that we are Spirit, and loving God with deep devotion.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 4

There is documented, startling evidence of how a meteor impact ended the existence of Atlantis.

Two completely different sources, a 2007 scientific article, and a 1962 Leslie Flint seance recording, confirm this information.

Life in the astral spheres is far more varied and complete than life on Earth. Some spheres nearest the earth plane are so similar to Earth that much of what one can experience there resembles very much the same conditions as Earth, such as cloudy weather, rain, snow, wind, night and day. On the other hand, some spheres of existence have no resemblance to Earth whatsoever. Some of the highest spheres, for example, are realms of incredible multidimensional light and beauty far beyond anything physical beings are familiar with.

Climates and Geography of the Astral Spheres

There is also air, wind and on some spheres (the spirits say there are thousands of astral worlds or spheres) occasional light rain, dew, mist, and even a light snow in the upper elevations just as happens on Earth. The weather patterns of the astral worlds tend to be mild and never contrary to the needs of the inhabitants. The temperature ranges from mildly cool to comfortably warm depending on the original climate and conditions the inhabitants were most used to on Earth. There are all the same climates and natural conditions of life as found on Earth including deserts, mountain regions, polar regions, forest regions, tropical areas, ocean environments, and land masses ranging from vast continents to beautiful tropical islands.

Many of Leslie Flint’s communicators say they have seen rivers, and lakes with some being quite vast and always quite placid and beautiful in a constantly warm summery afternoon environment. It is possible to go swimming and many souls do. One can also travel by boat or ship, and go diving, etc. One can also drink these pure waters as there is no pollution, bugs or bacteria in the ponds, lakes and rivers to worry about, and no water, air or noise pollution either as there is no need for cars, freeways, sewers and factories. The water is crystalline pure and very desirable to drink. Strangely enough, the souls often say that they can enjoy all the benefits of swimming, bathing, etc. yet are completely dry (even their clothes) the instant they get out!

Imagine an ordinary physical world of three dimensions of space and a fourth of time. Then add a fifth dimension (an extra direction for time and space to expand into) to this picture and then you have a rough idea of what the environment is like in the afterlife. While traveling up through the vibrational spheres (actually takes some practice and experience to do this), the whole landscape can transform into an astonishing variety of geographies, for example, above the location where a vast plain existed, now there’s an alpine forest landscape and running fountains. Before it was misty, now it is cloudless, and billions of subtle colors from the extended atmosphere even further above would be prismatically refracted throughout the whole glorious sky. The astral atmosphere, being much vaster than the Earth’s atmosphere, would appear much deeper and, if there are clouds, would tend to have many more cloud layers.

Regarding the surface of the astral worlds: imagine countless interacting, interconnecting layers of an onion: some below the earth’s surface and many above with each one having a higher and higher rate of vibration and lighter composition than the ones beneath. This rough idea would constitute the spheres of the afterlife existence one encounters. If one could visualize a four-dimensional “earth” this would be very close to actuality. Such a four-dimensional sphere would have to have a three-dimensional “surface” that expands in size as one goes higher and higher up the scale of atomic vibration. Most matter in the universe (see “The True Nature of Dark Matter”) is in fact composed of these finer substances which astronomers throughout the world can see gravitational evidence of in various parts of the distant universe and are still trying to understand what “dark matter” really is. I think it is astral matter.

The Beauty of Astral Nature and Spiritual Utopia

Some trees grow very high and can often be in full bloom and/or produce much fruit. Flowers of all kinds, shapes and sizes exist in the astral worlds and grow in moist soils just like they do on Earth. Because they are living things and very much alive, they are not to be picked and can often grow taller than houses. In fact there are whole forests of very tall flowers growing as tall as trees creating magnificent perfumes that are wafted for miles and miles on mild astral breezes. Gardens and gardening is a very common thing among most of the souls, as most souls who have houses have and enjoy wonderful, lush gardens. Yes, nature is a very real, abundant and natural part of the astral worlds, especially the highest worlds where the beauty of nature becomes almost infinite. In fact the astral worlds are the actual origin of all natural existence, whereas the Earth is just a dim, almost artificial reflection of what nature intends to create and manifest. To think that the physical universe is the only universe is very chauvinistic. Not only are there other existences, but far superior ones as well!

The astral planes are teaming with all sorts of both extinct and presently living plants and animals from Earth. There are no pesky insects, pests or predators whatsoever. (It is possible, however that they do exist on some of the lowest planes or spheres.) The lion definitely sleeps with the lambs and all races, creeds and nationalities definitely live in perfect harmony and peace with one another just as portrayed in those “Jehova’s Witness” illustrations in their international magazines, “Awake!” and “Watchtower.” The funny thing is just how similar the ideal world that the Jehova’s Witness describe is to the actual descriptions by spirits. There are wonderful places or “belief system territories” in the astral worlds where even the “dead” “Jehova’s Witnesses” can hang out still waiting for that ideal new Earth to come even though there is a perfectly good world right in front of their noses completely surrounding them!

Communication With Animals and Singing in an Etheric Atmosphere

Spirits often say that if they tuned into it, there seems to be a soft, soothing, healing vibration or music in the atmosphere generated either by nature and/or creative souls who somehow recorded (left) their songs in the either. One can talk, sing, play instruments, and create sound just like on Earth, yet one can also communicate by thought and most souls quickly find that telepathy is the most efficient way to communicate especially if the other person speaks only Spanish, for instance and you only can speak English. Astonishing as this may sound, telepathic communication between animals and humans is quite easy and common on the astral levels. One spirit who came through Leslie Flint saying he had an amazing “conversation” with his deceased canine pet. Animals can also materialize in seances. During a David Thompson seance held at Mansfield, 10th October, 2007, a dog materialized and started barking!

Another amazing thing is that people who have never learned to read or write properly on Earth often do in the afterlife! There are so many libraries, colleges, schools, etc. on the astral planes to learn such things as well as many other subjects ranging from basic to far beyond the scope and imagination of materiality. Joy, inspiration, breathing and laughter always comes naturally and easily; one always feels light, full or energy, vitality, and one never grows old, ill or suffer from any pains. Breathing the air is a joy, “it is just like wine” says Mary Ivan (near top of list on left) toward the end of her seance. Often the air is filled with perfumes from countless flowers naturally growing in surrounding gardens, fields, etc.

Illumination (Sun?) of the Astral World

The sun still seems to have some kind of effect on the lower astral spheres where souls say there is still a night and a day, fog, rain, etc. On the lowest spheres there seems to be deep fog or darkness created by all the negative thoughts and fears of the materialistically minded physical inhabitants of Earth. However, on the mid to higher astral worlds there seems to be a constant “illumination” or source of very soothing, loving, healing light of a magical and mysterious nature emanating from “God” and/or the higher realms. Souls have reported seeing a mysterious, golden light with increasing brightness toward the horizon. I did hear from some of the Leslie Flint recordings, that there are periods of restfulness and twilight but no actual nights except on the lowest spheres where it can get completely dark. My speculation is that there are probably as many as seven main spheres or heavens (maybe extending hundreds of miles into space?) that are concentric with the earth and rotate along with the physical earth.

Much of the light enjoyed in the astral spheres probably emanates from the outer chromosphere of the sun as a series or layers of etherial “suns” expanding beyond, yet concentric with the physical sun and each one illuminating corresponding astral spheres at its own corresponding level of vibration. After the sun sets over the western horizon, much of its outer chromosphere and especially its extended magnetosphere remains above the horizon most of the night, especially toward the upper and lower latitudes, therefore creating an effect of twilight instead of the complete darkness experienced on Earth. However, the souls also say that the atmospheres of the higher astral spheres extend ever further into space as they increase in vibration, reflecting the sun’s rays back onto the planet no matter what time of the night it is with the effect being that of a long twilight during the night rather than complete darkness. The light or illumination in the higher spheres is quite awesome: something much more vibrant, and far more beautiful than anything experienced on Earth. Sri Yukteswar said in Chapter 43 “The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar” in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda that there are numerous astral luminaries or “suns” that illuminate the astral worlds and endless numbers of astral solar systems floating in space. Astral matter tends to be self-luminescent anyway, especially toward the higher spheres where astral material tends to become brighter, lighter, richer, more colorful, dazzling, multi-dimensional, transparent and more enchanting. I would have to say, things go far beyond description at the highest and most dazzling levels which I would refer to as being the mental, causal and celestial spheres.

Living on Earth in comparison to the higher spheres is like living in a very backward and isolated country where technology has not yet reached its borders. There are other realities of existence far less limiting and challenging than Earth, which is probably one of the most difficult places ever to live. Souls often incarnate on Earth to face challenges they would not otherwise face on higher spheres. Learning that there are so many higher worlds of light and beauty beyond the material realm of Earth can at first be quite startling.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella by Stephenie Meyer

Edit Article |

Posted: May 21, 2010 |

]]>

“The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” is a story described from the viewpoint of Bree Tanner, a character in Eclipse. The book will be released on June 5 and the first print order is that of 1.5 million copies. One dollar from each book sold will go to the American Red Cross International Response Fund which will then be routed to the relief efforts going into the Haiti and Chile.

It Started As A Fun Story

Stephenie Meyer herself is surprised from the publication of the story in the book form. She began to work on the idea in 2005, at the time when she was editing Eclipse. It was only intended to be a short story which would have been uploaded on her website. Later she thought it fit to add the story to the “The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide”, though the story kept growing longer and became 192 pages long.

Read It Online

The fans would be given exclusive access to the story on an exclusive website, www.breetanner.com, where they would be allowed to read the story online from June 7 to July 5, 2010. “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” has always been for the fans only, says Stephenie Meyer, as she expresses her gratitude for the fans for being so supportive of everything related to Twilight.

Story Of A Newborn Vampire

The book by Stephenie Meyer, “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” is a captivating story of a newborn vampire who lives in the darker side of the world. It will also be available as an e-book on June 5, 2010. Stephenie Meyer has already become a publishing sensation. She herself admits she had been working on the story off and on just for fun. Later as the story grew, the book “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” started to explain lots of things which Bella never knew of. The book was also used during the process of making Eclipse film. The screenwriter, director and cast of the film also read the story to get to know the characters better.

A Gift For The Fans

After the manuscript of the book was completed, she heard the news that the book had become almost 200 pages long after typesetting. The publishers came up with the idea of publishing the Bree story separately so that people would know more of Bree before they watched the movie. When Stephenie Meyer suggested the idea of gifting the story of Bree to the fans since they had already bought tons of books on the series, the publishers agreed, which gave birth to the idea of presenting the book online for a month.

Deluxe. Several times I was moved, elated, bouncing and feeling so happy being right here, right now.

In the last month I read all four Twilight books and I was so blown away by how it made me feel.

I’m sitting here thinking. Where have I been? What have I been doing? What have I been waiting for?

When was I going to start appreciating art, beauty and artistry again? After I achieved what? What does achieving have to do with appreciation?

I remember being a teenager and I was moved, touched, inspired, sparked, enraged and validated by song, art, film and theater. I would get enraptured by sporting events rooting for the underdog!!

Where did that go? I’ve been so busy creating a life that someday I can enjoy, I’ve completely ignored my natural appreciation. Why has my hunt for success, fortune and fame been so all consuming?

Today I just got present to how The Drunk Monkey has owned me for the last 20 years as I chased the elusive destination called success. Now I’m here and I can’t believe I wasted so much time on it.

I didn’t need to live in a multi-million dollar house, burn through luxury cars or have 20 pairs of pimp shoes. I could have been appreciating, digging, grooving, dancing, singing, cheering on the under dog, and moved to tears the entire time. No stuff is required to feel and experience.

As I wipe the tears from my eyes, I realize that I’m happy that I went for the elusive prize for you.

I’m grateful that my heartache can be a marker, a beacon for you. So I can share with you my journey and tell you its not worth obsessing over the destination called success. No matter how much I achieve I still haven’t proved to the elusive “them” that I’m good enough or a part of the group or worthwhile or even of value.

The rules I was taught don’t apply. The promises that I was sold on didn’t get fulfilled. So I am going out on my own and making up my own rules.

Live now! Appreciate now! Listen to more music, roll on the ground with your kids, forgive your parents, smell the roses, stare at sunsets.

I know it sounds like sappy self help bulls*** but no matter how much stuff you have it doesn’t change your ability to appreciate. And achieving success will not change your experience and appreciation.

I dare you to stop and appreciate everything you come across today and see what happens.

Let me tell you something. There is an elusive “them”. To everyone in this world who has ever felt stomped on by “reality”. And there are plenty of people who feel like they got a raw deal. Let me tell you this. There are one million reasons why they do and no alternative other than success to overcome it. There are plenty of regular working people who feel like they have been stepped on too and they work a 9 to 5. Respectable ! But no its not good enough anymore because of the elusive “them” who exist no matter what you “say” will always be better or have more money I don’t care what kind of things you say because yes it matters a hell of a lot to every one cept you because you are all ready rich. Why do you think Obama won the presidency. Because people are pissed off. They want change and they don’t want to stop and see a sunset because for them its looking like a pretty crappy rest of their life. They need change they need to get the hell in college and they need to be successful because the elusive them just keeps shoving their crap down their throats. The haves the have nots. don’t think that you would want to give your 20 years up and not be what you are today. You wouldn’t be happy for one freggin second. If you think you would be able to reach this zen point in your own life without the pain and struggle you are lying.
