2017 Update: My Plans for the Year

I had planned on finishing my book “The Power of Now Meditation Guide” in 2016, and then starting work on a Dzogchen text; but I became absorbed in a study of Mindfulness texts and the Pali Canon, and put work on my own books on hold. I wrote reviews of all the texts I read, and I’ve posted some of them at Amazon, with another dozen-plus to come over the next several months. (I could post the reviews all at once, but I prefer to spread them out.)

My study of Mindfulness texts has motivated me to write my own book on the subject, because, frankly speaking, I’m on a different level than all these authors, and can elaborate the subject better than any of them. The question for me is whether I want to begin work on this book directly after my Dzogchen text, or if I first want to finish my Sam Harris critique. My goal for 2017 is to finish the “Power of Now Meditation Guide” and my Dzogchen text, and then either return to work on my Sam Harris critique or begin the Mindfulness text.

My Facebook group, Meditation-Consciousness-Spirituality, has degenerated into a New Age-level site, but I’ll be starting Power of Now and Dzogchen groups after I finish my books on those subjects, and these will be serious meditation/spiritual philosophy groups that will not tolerate New Age crap.

I really want to do YouTube videos and get interviewed on shows like Buddha at the Gas Pump and the Joe Rogan Experience. But I first want to publish my next three books before doing so. So, going public will be my goal in 2018, not in 2017.

Regarding electricalspiritality.com and integralspiritualmeditation.com, my goal for 2017 is to just continue what I’m doing.
