Getting high with pot is enjoyable, mostly safe and perfectly okay, as millions of us know. However, the problem is, (other than being illegal in most states): we keep coming down! So what can we do about that? Read, "The Potless Pot High!" This book will help anyone (pot user or not) to get high, clear and spunky without weed, without the hassle of marijuana or other "get high" drugs. This book offers five different games to play to catch an easy, natural, grinning "Daily Buzz." This book offers a progressive series of mental, emotional and physical techniques that spontaneously bring about a natural, easy and effortless "potless pot high," or "higher consciousness" very similar to that attained through marijuana. These simple techniques have been proven to take the user to higher, steadier, clearer, more enjoyable states than those experienced with marijuana. What makes this book unique is the recognition that the use of marijuana--- and other mind-altering substances and mind altering activities--- even for long periods of time, are engaged first of all because they are mostly enjoyable (that's why so many do it!) but also because such changes in consciousness may be psychologically necessary, perhaps even biologically programmed. (As Wavy Gravy put it, "Only the jailers are against escape." ) Yes, changing states of mind is basically healthy and evolutionarily imperative. Thus, the Potless Pot High contains no condemnation for pot smoking, only an honest and thorough appraisal of its short and long term effects, both pro and con, on mind, body and social relationships. Chapter titles include, "The First Head Rush," "Rest in Peace, Timothy Leary," "All You Need Is Love (and a Little Toke, )" "Your Brain on Drugs: Enjoying Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Those Sweet, Sweet Gamma Waves," "Opening Our Brain Gates: How Pot-and the Potless Games-Dissolve Cultural Addiction," and "Is All Marijuana Use Medicinal?" The white-haired author first smoked pot before he was able to vote. He was a long-term addictions counselor and is now a deeply experienced marijuana researcher and non-duality teacher and practitioner. "I got a buzz just reading this book," one early reviewer commented.

Who was Jesus? This book reveals a picture of Jesus hidden for centuries: a happy Jesus, a laughing Jesus, a Jesus as friend and companion. With verse by verse reference to the Book of John. the Jesus in this new Bible study knows that the word Christ is another word for love; that Christ is another word for peace; that Christ is another word for happiness, for joy. The Jesus in this book knows that Christ is just as much alive in everyone as it is in him. This Jesus knows that Christ has no birthday because love is eternal. Reading Happy Jesus is Christian prayer, Christian satsang, Christian meditation. If you've ever asked, "How do I pray," or "How do I be happy," Happy Jesus answers both questions in simple, direct ways. The photo of Jesus on the book's cover is an artist's inspiration. "Happy" is how this worldly-wise book makes you feel.

A radically new approach to stopping smoking from one of America's top stop-smoking gurus. This book reveals secrets learned from twenty years of workiing face to face with every type of smoker.

An advaita (non-dual) translation of the Book of John. This work is a New Testament on how to be happy, for ordinary people and people of all Christian denominations, but especially useful for lapsed Christians, closet Christians, non-Christians, liberal Christians, so-so Christians, Buddhist Christians or anybody who has ever asked, How can I be happy? This advaita Bible reading/meditation offers a more accessible Jesus, who came to teach awareness, or natural happiness and peace. With line by line references, reading this book is akin to satsang (keeping company) with Jesus.

Gebhardt teaches a simple, radically peaceful, and non-threatening approach to helping smokers quit. The gentle approach actually works much better than nagging, complaining, threatening, or ignoring.
