Prosperity Ashram Authors
Prosperity Path Ashram is a virtual and magical world that offers its own Reality to the members who visit and participate there. While it is an extensive, multi-leveled environment with buildings ranging from ancient temples and shrines to modern theatres, galleries, clubs, and shopping malls?it is also the home of multidimensional and myriad meetings and activities. These include (but are not limited to) meditations, healing circles, study group meetings, ecstatic dance, sacred movement spaces, campfire circles, labyrinth readers' courses, music concerts, theatre performances, and so on. One book sourced in the Ashram is the poetry anthology: Real Poets in a Virtual World, based on the weekly workshop of the Prosperity Poets at the Langston Hughes Poetry Lounge. Another is Orbit, which introduces the novice reader to E.J. Gold's Orbs, GODD Games, the Urthgame website, Prosperity Ashram, and related subjects. We expect there will be many more books and other artistic works created in this globalized, international, universal, and futuristic environment on the worldwide web.

Jim Hodgkinson Books
Jim Hodgkinson
Jim Hodgkinson never considered himself an artist. As a chemist, a technology instructor and a technical writer he would sketch diagrams or make little explanatory drawings but for publication they would go to a graphic artist. A year or so after he retired from teaching, he became aware of an inter-active online drawing course due to start in August of 2014. Given by Dr. Christiane Wolters, it was based on artist E.J. Gold's "Draw Good Now" teachings, given as an online class while Mr. Gold conducted his in-person art classes.
By drawing a little each day using graphite, then later pen and ink wash he began his path to becoming an artist. On the way to accepting himself as an artist, two things became clear. First, drawing can increase your awareness of the world around you and second you can recapture your child-like sense of wonder and exploration - your "Beginner's Mind".
Jim has turned his attention to watercolor painting for the last 5 years and is currently studying the impressionistic styles of English landscape artists Seago and Wesson. Jim makes his home in Edmonton, Alberta Canada but likes to return to Queensland, Australia to visit and paint for three months during the cold Alberta winters. He is retired, married and has a son and daughter living in Canada and a daughter living in Sandgate, Queensland.
