The newest news on my site is the Anti-Guru Blog. No, it's not about guru-bashing, but about something much more interesting... check it out and you'll see.

Also, after years of requests, I've just released the Instant Advanced Meditation Course. Whether you're new to meditation and want a practice that produces results quickly and easily, or you're a long-time meditator who wants to take your practice to "the next level", you have got to check out the I AM Course. And you can get a sample of it at no cost. Go to AdvancedMeditation.com

Other new news *off* my site is something really fun... especially for anyone who takes their spiritual life a bit too seriously sometimes. Check out www.delightenment.com. Have fun!

I've been spending most of my time leading Quantum Wealth classes and working on my book, Inner Wealth: The Practical Spiritual Path of Money and Success . The book and classes are about finding genuine financial satisfaction in any situation. I like to say, "which way do you think it would be easier (and more fun) to create a new financial life: convinced you need something different before you can be truly happy, or genuinely content now and simply taking the next step that you see in front of you?" Clearly the latter wins, hands down. In Quantum Wealth, you get a radical and profound understanding of money, of happiness and what the real relationship is between them. If you want to find out more about either the book or the classes, go to www.QuantumWealth.com.

If you (or anyone you know) dreams of writing the great American screenplay, check out the software I created - Scriptware, the best-selling word processing software for film and television Scriptwriters. To find out more about successful scriptwriting, see my book (now online), Scriptwriting Secrets - Writing Your Million Dollar Story. I also created Cinovation, Inc. to publish and distribute Scriptware and other software for the creative community.

If you want a chuckle or two (or ten, depending on your sense of humor), I have some goofy sites at www.infiniteriches.com.  For more fun, be on the lookout for my marimba (an African instrument, sort of like a wooden xylophone) band, Chimanimani, or join me in June for birthday party time, with highly adult activities including, but not limited to, go-kart racing, miniature golf, bowling, pinball, WaterWorld or Elitch Gardens amusement park, air hockey and chocolate cake to die for. If you're up for a bike ride, I'll join you on my recumbent or my new human-powered scooter (I need to get pictures of some of these things). And on January 1st, you can catch me and the other Polar Bears chipping away the ice and jumping in the Boulder Reservoir.

Last but certainly not least are "The Work" and "Integrated Kabbalistic Healing." Of all the transformative things I've done that affected my life, these are the only two that demonstrably changed it. That is, after encountering these two technologies, my experience of my self and the world (and the relationship between the two) shifted in ways I never expected, and in ways for which I am continually grateful.

I do private sessions of The Work and Integrated Kabbalistic Healing by appointment. And I host a gathering for those interested in The Work on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. Email me at steven@sashen.com to find out more about private sessions or the gatherings.

To find out more about IKH, go to the website for A Society Of Souls. To find out more about The Work, click here (don't be fooled by the seeming simplicity of The Work. When you do it, you get un-done!)

Now, beyond things that I *do* is this: In October, 2003 I had the great good fortune to marry the lovely Lena Phoenix (author of The Heart of a Cult and manager of the "Sashen empire"). The wedding was an absolute blast, complete with the best cake I've ever eaten (half of it stored away in our freezer), a chocolate fountain, marimba music by Kutandara, and a spontaneous Silly String and Lucky Charms battle. Some day, I'll write out the story of our meeting -- it's a winner on the romance scale. Suffice it to say, before we were a couple I always imagined being extremely happy with this wonderful, smart, funny, beautiful woman... I couldn't have guessed how much my imagination would pale compared to reality.

Fun news in our house comes our two beautiful Bengal cats, Lula and Lily (otherwise known as Moose and Squirrel). They're 2 girls (one is the aunt of the other) who were born 2 weeks apart. Bengals are an absolute riot who have a number of habits left over from their wild relatives (in addition to their leopard-like spots). In other words, don't get near them when they're eating! Given their current play habits, we're very thankful that Bengal kittens are apparently made of rubber. They're older than this kitty-pic, but still just as cute.

Hope you enjoyed your visit. If you would like to contact me, please use the following email address: steven@sashen.com or call 303/447-3100.
