This direction can lead to extraordinary levels of Self-Realization, fresh perceptions about life&#8217;s deeper meaning, and our connection with the Universe itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What about our <em>Darkness<\/em>, those negative characteristics that we all have, yet suppress or even deny? What about the <em>Shadow Side<\/em> of our psyche?&#8221; asks Will Schneider. Schneider points out that most people are unaware of the negative traits, their <em>Shadowlings<\/em>, because we systematically push them away from our conscious awareness. Our Shadowlings are all those unsavory and clearly &#8216;un-spiritual&#8217; aspects of ourselves, the rejects of our character traits that we don&#8217;t want to admit we have, let alone invite into our rosy self-image. We tend to banish these unacceptable features down deep into our consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10511\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/LucifersGameBOOKCOVER-99x150.jpg\" alt=\"LucifersGameBOOKCOVER\" width=\"99\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/LucifersGameBOOKCOVER-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/LucifersGameBOOKCOVER.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 99px) 100vw, 99px\" \/>&#8220;Unfortunately, that strategy doesn&#8217;t work too well,&#8221; says Schneider. In <em>Lucifer&#8217;s Game<\/em>, Schneider explores the ebb and flow between our opposite poles, the Light versus Dark, in a way everyone can relate to, and explores the possibility of a more elevated level of transcendence and inner balance which can lead to greater true spiritual wholeness.<\/p>\n<p>Will Schneider is a full-time writer living in the wine country of Sonoma County, north of San Francisco. Formerly working in business development, Schneider spent years as the Licensing Director for the world-renown artist, Laurel Burch, as well as a National Sales Manager in the wine industry and high-tech arena.<\/p>\n<p>An adventurer at heart, and naturally drawn to the \u2018edge\u2019 of things, his current passion is kayaking along the wild Pacific coast. Will has equally experienced a calling to explore and push the boundaries of his inner world, and has spent decades deeply immersed in the study of various metaphysical traditions. Thirty-five years of deep training from a variety of exceptional spiritual teachings has allowed him to develop a wide-ranging platform of knowledge and understanding regarding the human inner landscape and our potential range of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><i>Lucifer\u2019s Game<\/i> is his first novel. Will is currently writing a sequel to this novel focused on the Shadow world of relationships. He is also preparing workshops and events focused on understanding the Shadow and \u2018waking up\u2019 to our Presence.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/lucifersgame.com\">http:\/\/lucifersgame.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Diane Reeve<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10514\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DianeReevePHOTO2016.jpg\" alt=\"DianeReevePHOTO2016\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" \/>Author and popular speaker on the topics of AIDS awareness and women&#8217;s empowerment, <strong>Diane Reeve<\/strong>, joins the show in the third hour to discuss her book, <strong><em>Standing Strong: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Sisterhood and the Court Case That Made History.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Diane Reeve found everything she was looking for in the handsome Frenchman Philippe Padieu. Deeply in love, they spent every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday together at his place or hers&#8230;that is, until she learned about his Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday women.<\/p>\n<p>But her heartbreak was just beginning. After discovering his cheating, she tested positive for HIV and learned that Philippe had knowingly transmitted the disease to her.

Despite plummeting T-cell numbers, Diane vowed to stop Philippe from victimizing anyone else. In a race against time, Diane knitted together a band of Philippe&#8217;s conquests. This sisterhood, bound by overwhelming emotional and physical pain, fought tirelessly to have him convicted in a landmark victory relying on new DNA science.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not just a story ripped from the headlines; it is one woman&#8217;s hard-won victory over a crushing experience and a frustrating judicial system&#8211;and her mission to help empower others to stand strong.<\/p>\n<p>Diane Reeve has been called &#8220;the new face of HIV.&#8221; Her compelling, inspirational story has been viewed by millions, including on <em>Oprah<\/em> and <em>20\/20<\/em>, and has been the subject of magazine and newspaper articles worldwide. Her efforts to bring a predator to justice while maintaining a support group of survivors spurred her to a life of HIV advocacy. As a 7th degree black belt, she lives female empowerment and is a popular motivational speaker on overcoming obstacles.
