 This
page is devoted to providing you with excellent and highly recommended
resources to help you step onto the path of highest possibility
for your life - YOUR LIFE MISSION. The short cut is, of course,
to take advantage of the Life Mission classes and materials offered
on this site and it is fully recognized that classes are not for
everyone, all the time. People really can discover their mission
through reading and individual study. So here are some recommended
resources including reading lists complete with direct links for
purchase from www.amazon.com .

Very Special Mention!!!
The lluminated Rumi by Coleman Barks and Michael Green. I highly
recommend this book. It is so beautifully done! In fact, I am
SO enamored by this book that I have borrowed several of the
images to beautify this website. I have much gratitude to the
author, illuminator, and publisher of this book. Thank you gentlemen/women
for that privilege!

The
Illuminated Rumi
I love Rumi. This book contains the most beautiful artful
illustrations, gathered and rendered by Michael Green, that
magnificently illuminate Rumi's words as translated
by Coleman Barks. It is a feast for the eyes! This book makes
a wonderful gift for oneself or another. A definite buy recommend!

This is the second of the two most beautiful websites
on the net (in my humble opinion! <grin>) and describes
the vision and work of my Life Mission teacher and mentor,
Daniel Goodenough. The Way of the Heart™ is about
the integration of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful;
or Art, Science, and Spirituality. The vision of The
Way of the Heart™ is a world where every person
holds as self-evident that they are here for a reason
and that is important enough to devote time to create
it in the world in service to the Great Sacred Mystery.
This site is DEFINITELY worth a look!

This website introduces you to the work of Geotran
the most amazing personal transformation and consciousness
raising tool I have ever come across (and I have a seen
a LOT of them!) Geotran works in the electron field of
all life (other names include morphogenetic field, quantum
field, information field) and is where physics and metaphysics
meet. I have been doing this work since 1997 and believe
that the combination of Life Mission and Geotran is unbeatable!

Peter Cohen and Stefano Landini at Volo Studios did
a fabulous, heartful, organized, timely and thorough
job on my website. I highly recommend them!

Allan Hunkin and teem run this brilliant organization featuring
21 streaming audio internet channels providing leading edge
and high intention content across the world. There is a vast
library of just-in-time information you can hear anytime
you are ready at the click of a mouse. My own internet radio
show called "Science, Spirit and the Human Heart" is
hosted here. These people are professional and unconditionally
supportive. Highly recommended.
www.teleclass.com
Teleclasses are the leading edge of accessible distance learning.
This site is the brain child of Thomas Leonard. There are dozens
of first rate teleclasses you can choose, on a wide variety of
topics - many of which are free. These are the folks that host
my teleclasses. Excellent idea and website.

Websites

A few of the people who have done their life mission work with
Maggie Hanna and are now doing it have set up their own websites
to offer their work to the world. These people do their inspired
work with a higher intention and integrity because they are truly
doing what they came to do. The list is ever growing. Here they
are:
www.spiritoftheflesh.com
Annelie McKenzie is an amazing artist who does an alternative form
of portraiture called a body print. She helps people to love
and celebrate their bodies just as they are through doing a life-size
print of your body on canvas and turning it into a magnificent
work of art! Beautiful (PS mine is on the site under Maggie)
www.keynote.ca
Gregg Haraldson's life has been profoundly impacted by many of
the great contemporary teachers in the world. So his mission
is to provide the venue for these teachers to share their wisdom
in all the major centres of Western Canada. He does an amazing
job!

you know inhibits your ability to

The
Matrix
A high teaching movie about Life Mission, the nature of
reality and the sanctity of free choice, couched as a sci-fi
shoot'em up. In this movie, the main character "Neo" is
the only person who can save humanity from slavery so they
call him "The One". In fact each of us is the "The
One" for what we came to do.

 |
|
The
Legend of Bagger Vance
A life mission movie about a golf game set during the depression.
This movie looks at each of us having one authentic swing
that is ours to play in harmony with the field. It is actually
a modern telling of the sacred Hindu Text, The Bhagavad
Gita. The main character in The Gita is a warrior/king
named Arjuna who's charioteer is God in the form of the
Lord Krishma. The main character in the movie is Ranolph
Juna (R.Juna) whose caddy is, of course, God.

Billy
Elliot
A life mission movie about a little boy in a coal mining
town in Britain whose passion is to dance. It illustrates
the principle that we know why we are here at age 7 and
in spite of great odds, if we can hold our attention on
our intention to do our passion, then it must happen.
|
|
 |
|
Pay
it Forward
Another life mission movie based on a true story about
a young boy who changes the world through doing his mission.
One key point is that even when the boy was actively doing
it, it looked to him like nothing was changing, that he
failed, when in fact many lives were touched.
|
|
 |
|
Schindler's
List
A life mission movie based on the true story of Oskar
Schindler who was a successful businessman in Nazi Germany.
He loved the high life, making money and womanizing, and
went after it with all the creativity of his soul. We could
condemn him for being self interested and greedy, however
had he not built up a small fortune he would not have had
the where-with-all to buy the lives of 1100 Jews that were
saved from death. This movie shows us how Spirit used it
all for good in the end.
|
|
 |
|
You
Can't Take It With You
A movie about what life might be like if our creative expressions
were absolutely supported and cherished by those around
us. A portrait of a family doing what they love!
|
|
 |
|
The
Man Who Planted Trees
Beautifully illustrated life mission story of a shepherd
whose mission and passion is to plant trees and the ramifications
of his work as the effects ripple through the world.
|
|
 |
|
Ransom
A story about the power of listening to your own heart
and intuition in the face of no agreement in the world
around you. A wealthy airline owner's only son is kidnapped
and held for ransom. Watch for 3 times in the movie where
his choices that ultimately saved his son went against
all the expert advice. He trusted his own inner voice
only because of years of training in his business through
making all the small decisions that had built the relationship
with his inner knowing.

Meetings
with Remarkable Men
Gurdjieff's Search for Hidden Knowledge - amazingly
beautiful shot in the deserts and mountains of Afganistan.
The movie is about the life of Gurdjief, a feisty and eccentric
and profound spiritual teacher who came to the West, and
his quest for mystical knowledge. (also available at Parabola
at 1-800-560-6984)

Sliding
Doors
A great illustration of parallel time lines (lives) that
science postulates we are living right now, all at the
same time.
|
|
 |
|
Cymatics
- The Healing Nature of Sound
A rare and somewhat hard to find video (call Macromedia
at 603-659-2929). A record of experiments showing how sound
(frequency) holds form in form.
