An insightful exploration that unveils the lesser-known dimensions of this legendary writer and her legacy, revealing the cultural icon's profound impact as a visionary editor who helped define an important period in American publishing and literature. A multifaceted genius, Toni Morrison transcended her role as an author, helping to shape an important period in American publishing and literature as an editor at one of the nation's most prestigious publishing houses. While Toni Morrison's literary achievements are widely celebrated, her editorial work is little known. Drawing on extensive research and firsthand accounts, this comprehensive study discusses Morrison's remarkable journey from her early days at Random House to her emergence as one of its most important editors. During her tenure in editorial, Morrison refashioned the literary landscape, working with important authors, including Toni Cade Bambara, Leon Forrest, and Lucille Clifton, and empowering cultural icons such as Angela Davis and Muhammad Ali to tell their stories on their own terms. Toni Morrison herself requested that Dana Williams be the one to tell this story, even giving her the book's title. From the manuscripts she molded, the authors she nurtured, and the readers she inspired, Toni at Random demonstrates how Toni Morrison has influenced American culture beyond the individual titles or authors she published. Morrison's contribution as an editor transformed the broader literary landscape and deepened the cultural conversation. With unparalleled insight and sensitivity, Toni at Random charts this editorial odyssey.

Dana Williams studied the Rose Way meditation with Joe Koperski, a widely recognized psychic and meditation teacher working in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 70s. In time, through this practice, Williams developed psychic skills such as the ability to see auras, to sense energy forms, to engage in remote viewing, and to channel strong healing energies. This book offers a very clear, concise summary of exactly how to perform this profound and somewhat advanced form of meditation, including a technique to pass through the eighth chakra portal to the White Level, where we can link with our spirit self, meet with our personal guides, receive renewing energies and come into higher attunement. When we personally and intimately experience unexpected dimensions of consciousness, by literally passing through our inner doors of perception to reach the spheres of light and oneness, we naturally experience a fundamental shift in our perception of self, of purpose, and of life itself. This experience is available to those who commit a modicum of time to learn and practice this transformative meditation.

Dana Williams made a remarkable discovery: the individual phrases of the Lord's Prayer fit perfectly into the 7 chakras and the 12 archetypal paths of life. Out of this discovery developed a unique prayer-meditation. Williams writes, "Each phrase of the Lord's Prayer fits into a chakra like a key into a lock. By reciting each phrase within its chakra, we create an impulse or evocation that brings us into harmony with Spirit's intention for our growth. The Lord's Prayer prayer-meditation begins at the highest chakra of pure Christ Consciousness. This highest energetic quality descends into the lower chakras as we continue with the prayer. This brings the impulse of spirituality into all the charkas, clearing and transforming the patterns of ego that block the impulse of Spirit in our life. If you start a practice when you are young and keep it up over many years, even if you periodically neglect it, the practice will grow, change and deepen. After 35 years, I now have much to share about this special visualization and prayer-meditation that I believe spans the arch of eastern and western religion. For whom is this book written? For all who are interested in the correlations and prayer-meditations described here, and who treasure the Christian traditions. If you know how to work sincerely with prayer, this meditation should have an immediate effect. The purpose of this book is to open the door to this experience."
