I am happy to be sharing an update this month in video format. I know that some subscribers find it easier to process written posts, so I won’t make a habit of this. But I think it’s nice to have a visual connection from time to time. I managed to keep it to just under 10 minutes - hurrah!
David, I just listened to your wonderful video and I truly wish you would make these more often. It’s such a wonderful connection to be able to hear your voice and see your face as we listen to your message. It makes everything so real. As always, thank you for connecting all of us in this mindful, meaningful way. I’m truly looking forward to your next “installment “.
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback, Susan! I can certainly do more videos. I actually find them a lot easier to do than to sit down and write. I know that some subscribers are hard of hearing, so a video is no use to them at all. But then there are those subscribers who like audio because they have poor eyesight ....Maybe I should get into the habit of doing these every quarter ...
I agree with so many comments here that the video with your voice is so Much Better Than reading your notes. Face to face makes it all real. Thank you for your inspiring words. I am also looking forward to the new book. It’s a bit difficult to get your books in Ecuador so the big thank you for giving us one just because we are subscribed. I read everything you put on the Internet. Thank you so much for all your work. I hope there’s a way you let us know when we have used our subscription fee because I don’t want to miss out on any of your publications. Blessings to you. Pamela
Gosh, Ecuador. How very exotic, Pamela! Substack sends paying subscribers an email a couple of weeks before their subscription is due to renew, so that they can decide whether or not they want to continue. Warmest wishes, David
Thank you, David. I'm a new(ish) subscriber. I like the video updates - you are right about them creating a different type of connection. I suppose the longer iam a subscriber the more I will "hear" your voice reading the text updates! Really looking forward to the new book next week. Congratulations on this accomplishment!! My cats (Abby and Addy) and I love the audio versions!!
Thank you so much Nancy and welcome to our little group. How fortunate you are to have two cats to share your life with. I so appreciate your good wishes for the book launch next week!
I love a good video chat thanks David. I also value hearing how our support of your foundation is making a difference to those beautiful beings x🙏 Can’t wait to read my copy of “awaken the kitten” and look forward to your audible narrated version also!! I’m a psychotherapist and “prescribe” your Dalai Lama’s Cat series to my cat loving and more “advanced” clients in the world of spiritual practice to bring them more joy. They are beautiful nighttime/ bed time-relaxing stories to finish on at the end of your day. Gratitude 🙏 Carol
Thank you so much for your heartwarming message, Carole Anne! I am humbled to hear that you prescribe my work to appropriate clients - and also that you find them helpful at that time of the circadian cycle. That was the thinking behind my book of short stories (The Astral Traveler's Handbook & Other Tales) - the state of mind in which we shift consciousness is actually one I think we all need to focus on more.
Yes, Steward. For reasons best known to Amazon, not everyone is being shown the print pre-order option. I am hoping this changes on publication date - 10 November - when the page will change.
I really really really enjoyed this transmission. Since physical connections seem so sparse these days, it gives me a being whose face and voice are so welcome. As many as you post, I will relish.
Thank you for this video! It is so good to see you and hear your own voice - it gives another me another dimension to your writing. I look forward to your emails each week; they are a lovely way to start my Saturdays. I save them, ponder them, and often go back and reread them! All of this helps me to continue learning and to enjoy just being. Thank you so much!
If you have ever contemplated a visit to Africa, Mindful Safari is a fantastic way to experience the wonders of Africa along with uplifting and supportive times of meditation. It was truly life-changing for me.
I look forward to your Saturday postings every week. It is such a treat and a privilege to receive new teachings and ideas, well worth my small financial investment!
Thank you for your wonderful video update, it is lovely to see and hear the man behind the wonderful HHC and to hear about the projects you so generously talk about being a "collective effort" (without your dedication and hard work the "collective" would not exist!). And thank you for bringing the wisdom of Buddha to myself and so many others in a way that is accessible and meaningful to help us on our journey to a better, more spiritual and awakened way of life for all. Thank you again, with love. Namaste 🙏
My heartfelt thanks for your really beautiful message, Lucy. I sincerely appreciate it. And it truly is a "collective" requiring the support of so many of us in different ways.
Thank you David!!!! Lovely to see you and hear your voice and uplifting to know we are all making a difference together. Looking forward to The Claw of Attraction and the next instalment of Africa Buddha!!!!!
Yes, it should already be available to pre-order in paperback, but for reasons I don't understand not everyone is currently seeing a link. I hope Amazon fix this by publication date next week.

I hate e-books. Is there going to be a print edition of "Claw"?
Yes, Steward. For reasons best known to Amazon, not everyone is being shown the print pre-order option. I am hoping this changes on publication date - 10 November - when the page will change.
Thanks!
