I Am Not Sidney Poitier is an irresistible comic novel from the master storyteller Percival Everett, and an irreverent take on race, class, and identity in America I was, in life, to be a gambler, a risk-taker, a swashbuckler, a knight. I accepted, then and there, my place in the world. I was a fighter of windmills. I was a chaser of whales. I was Not Sidney Poitier. Not Sidney Poitier is an amiable young man in an absurd country. The sudden death of his mother orphans him at age eleven, leaving him with an unfortunate name, an uncanny resemblance to the famous actor, and, perhaps more fortunate, a staggering number of shares in the Turner Broadcasting Corporation. Percival Everett's hilarious new novel follows Not Sidney's tumultuous life, as the social hierarchy scrambles to balance his skin color with his fabulous wealth. Maturing under the less-than watchful eye of his adopted foster father, Ted Turner, Not gets arrested in rural Georgia for driving while black, sparks a dinnertable explosion at the home of his manipulative girlfriend, and sleuths a murder case in Smut Eye, Alabama, all while navigating the recurrent communication problem: "What's your name?" a kid would ask. "Not Sidney," I would say. "Okay, then what is it?"

In this “striking” meditation on the relationship between the adult self and the inner child, Jacob Needleman presents excitingly “original positions” on age old spiritual and philosophical questions—Ken Wilbur Seeking to reconcile the split between our inner child and our adult self, eminent philosopher and religious scholar Jacob Needleman evokes the ancient spiritual tradition of a deep dialogue between a guiding wisdom figure and a seeker. The elder offers an initiation to a younger self, an initiation the author feels is missing from our culture. Rendered as a stage play, the conversation between the 80-year-old author and his younger selves unfolds, and an ambiguity emerges as to whether this is strictly the author’s internal dialogue or whether the younger self may be nurturing a rebirth of the author. On one level, I Am Not I brings younger readers (teenagers and young adults) face to face with powerful spiritual and philosophical ideas. But as the book progresses, the dialogue delves into questions and insights that carry astonishing new hope and vision for every man and woman, challenging our culture’s accepted—and often toxic—ideas about humanity’s place in a living universe.

The #metoo movement, particularly the horrific Larry Nasser abuse, shows with frightening clarity the vulnerability of young women to male predators; all the Touchtone girls I encountered suffered similar or worse fates. The book is a pilgrimage, a quest story, divided into five sections. Part I explores the authors first year at the facility, the difficulty and eventual success of establishing my group in such a chaotic and contradictory culture. It recreates their writing sessions, and features the vivid, dramatic personalities of the girls who participated as well as the steep learning curve on which she found herself daily. Part II moves swiftly through the trials and victories between the first and last years, and offers brief profiles of three of the residents who held special resonance to the author. During this time she published an award-winning anthology of poems by the girls, a NYC filmmaker created a documentary film, many readings and public performances took place and received several awards for the program. Part III tells of the joint venture with The Hotchkiss School, revealing the differences yet common ground between the two groups of girls.

Those who practice the Muslim faith have resisted examinations of their religion. They are extremely guarded about their religion, and what they consider blasphemous acts by skeptical Muslims and non-Muslims alike has only served to pique the world's curiosity. This critical examination reveals an unflattering picture of the faith and its practitioners. Nevertheless, it is the truth, something that has either been deliberately concealed by modern scholars or buried in obscure journals accessible only to a select few.

Widely accessible are a vast number of spiritual tools and teachings designed to help us cultivate a better understanding of ourselves, our world around us, and our role within it. Many of these teachings were, and continue to be, instrumental to my own journey of understanding. In 2016, that journey expanded to become one that includes Connection—connection to a higher version of self, and seemingly beyond self—to information that has completely decoded and recontextualized my perceptions of reality and human experience. I documented all of it. Having spent many years integrating this information while simultaneously striving to live my life in a way that is worthy of it, I now feel compelled to step out of the “spiritual closet” as one who channels—to share the documentation of my Journey’s transformation, as well as all of the transformational information received. Personal interpretations and perspectives are minimally offered so that each may receive this information in resonance with their own frequency, but much loving guidance is provided. Please be forewarned that Contemplation will be required to discover the multi-faceted and multi layered truths within this information. Other than being an observant, attentive, curious, questioning human, I am wholly without any recognizable accreditations that might qualify me to share any Wisdoms or Truths. Thus I am a living example of the Connection available to every human, merely accessing these abilities a little sooner than most of my collective siblings. With genuine and loving intention, I Trust and release this body of work to help expedite or birth for others, connections to and beyond self, that they may find their own versions of Wisdom & Truth. Towards living a life in Service, this Sharing with you, dear Seeker. Vanita

‘I am not I.’ ‘What do you mean, ‘I am not I’?’ This would be our immediate reaction when we read the title. But the truth is, ‘I am not I’. I am not the ego that says, ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘mine’. The ego is an illusion. If I try to find the mind, where is the mind, I cannot find. Am I this body that I think I am, from birth till death? No, this body will return to dust. Who am I? This book will help us overcome our ignorance and realize the truth — I am not I. I am the Soul, the Spark Of Unique Life. This is Enlightenment. This is Realization of the truth. This book will transform your life. It will create a metamorphosis. It will liberate you from suffering on earth and from rebirth.
