"Blood and fire. That's how this all began. I guess it’s only fitting that this is where it ends" Aura Reigns has been using her supernatural abilities to hide from her past since she was a child. Now, as a young woman trying to make it on her own in a world where anything imaginable can exist, she must face her past and fight her demons; a group of religious fanatics out to destroy all Supernaturals, the murder of her family, and the loss of her childhood love. While she prepares to take on these pressures another evil is lurking in the shadows. An ancient evil that feasts on the blood of the living and is going to change the world. Book one of the series, an exciting and progressively dark tale of betrayal, friendship, loss and surviving in a world of endless supernatural possibilities.

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life will naturally ask themselves how to become more spiritual, and just how to live spiritual values. Is positive thinking the foundation of spirituality and, if so, how to get rid of negative thoughts? Must one somehow transcend good and bad, right and wrong? Where does one’s spiritual development truly begin? By enlightened definition, the foundation of a spiritual life is a faultless worldview; and to achieve such flawless vision, a spiritual awakening or Self realization is required. In the book “The Flawless Vision”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan states: “When a person does not have Self-realization (spiritual enlightenment), he always sees faults in others and can never see his own mistake.” Then, Dadashri explains how to attain the Self – describing that the knowledge of Self the beginning of true spirituality. An automatic outcome and one of the most prominent signs of spiritual awakening, is a flawless or faultless vision of others and the world. Among the many spiritual books available from spiritual teachers today, “The Flawless Vision” is a unique and invaluable resource.

The Art of Intimacy is the first part of the painted flawless manual and it provides a basis for understanding the value in our self-image. It helps identify the many layers that form significant parts of our being. It reveals wisdom nuggets from lived experiences and those of biblical heroes that could help us push through wrestling moments and claim our true identity. Ultimately, it enables us to discover or rediscover ourselves through our unique rhythms and deep reflection even when we might have thought ourselves completely unworthy. In the words of Nobel prize winner, Toni Morrison, “your life is already artful – waiting just waiting for you to make it art”. Painted flawless helps us realise this and enables us develop a life that is completely ours, empowering and authentic. There is a hidden pandemic of the twisted self-image that is flooding the world and it is so pervasive yet hardly talked about. Yet this is probably the number one pandemic consuming many lives across the globe, people not having a clear understanding of who they are and longing to access the unique design that is their own journey. Many of us are struggling with our self-image, our value, our direction and how to be the one and only version of ourselves that is true. This book uses allegorical representation from simple concepts in art to illuminate the human journey and empower us to manifest who we are meant to be despite the challenges we may face.
