Thoughts, A Beginning

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"Thoughts is a story about how thoughts create our realities. It is a fun and exciting spiritual journey about the awakening process of an individual whose world is turned upside down when he meets this strange person named Doc Know. It is whimsical and piercing in the ponderings evoked as the pages magnetically draw one into a exploration of the inner world that creates the meaning making perceptions of the outer world."

Thoughts II

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"The journey continues for Tom as he re-engages with DocKnow and a host of new teachers, each expanding his awareness of the presence of what is present that is mostly ignored in daily life. Tom often is pushed and pulled into these new awarenesses as he goes on a couple of journeys while being nudged by DocKnow and White Horse. In this fast paced story, many spiritual secrets are revealed leaving Tom reeling from each new discovery."

Thoughts III: Creating the Container

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"The journey with DocKnow continues as Tom has slowly accepted a much deeper and broader understanding of healing. He encounters more teachers who deepen his understanding that not all seek healing. His journey takes him deep into understanding ceremonial spaces and how presence can shift the sacred space into more expanded capacities and discoveries. Finally, Tom experiences prayer as a form of being that helps him understand how reality is shaped by our thoughts, beliefs, and eventual conscious awareness of the presence of what is present."

The Four Sacred Elements

FIRE: The Flicker That Transforms

Shadow Tendency: Burnout, domination, reactivity, performative passion.

EARTH: The Gravity of Being

May 15-17, 2026

Spiritual Traits: Earth is slow, steady, receptive. The keeper of bones, fossils, ancestry, and stillness. It doesn't rush. It remembers. It holds the imprint of every footprint, not as judgment, but as archive. Spiritually, Earth teaches us about containment, grounding, endurance, and devotion to life's cycles—not for productivity, but for continuity.

Shadow Tendency: Stagnation, rigidity, numbness, over-attachment to form or control.

WATER: The Memory of Emotion

September 18-20, 2026

Spiritual Traits: Water teaches emotional intelligence, adaptability, grief, and intimacy. It remembers. It cleanses, not by erasing but by flowing through. It asks us to stay permeable in a world that often rewards impermeability. Water whispers: You don't have to hold everything, but you must feel it.

Shadow Tendency: Overwhelm, enmeshment, manipulation, nostalgia-as-escape.

AIR (or ARIE): The Whisper Between Thoughts

December 4-6, 2026

Spiritual Traits: Air is the mover of stories, the breath of clarity and confusion. It is both the whisper of insight and the gale of change. Spiritually, it's the element of curiosity, imagination, discernment, and transmission. It invites detachment without dissociation—a sacred lightness.

Shadow Tendency: Dissociation, fragmentation, over-theorizing, bypassing embodiment.
