The Fascinated Observer: A Guide To Embodying S.T.A.R. Philosophy

DIVINITY IS INSIDE OF US.

This book rests upon the profound richness of a non-dogmatic philosophical and spiritual foundation. A labor of true love, this is a guide for declaring our sovereignty, and learning to accept complete responsibility for our lives. Using the simple S.T.A.R. formula of Surrender, Trust, Allow, Receive, as well as the Four Essential Qualities of Wholeness (human divinity), Self-love, Play (the now moment) and the Embodiment of the Expanded Golden Rule, the concepts support us in finding a life of total empowerment. Written from the enlightening perspective of philosopher Nina Brown, articulated by Kristy Sweetland, M.A., Master of Transpersonal Psychology, it is a blueprint to spiritual freedom.

These two enlivened authors have provided practical and inspirational insights on putting the S.T.A.R. philosophy to use to help us with some of the toughest human experiences. While reading this book, we are invited to make quantum leaps into the octaves of richness, amazing relationships, creativity, play and more. Once we start to weave this formula into our world, The Fascinated Observer takes new life within us, liberating us from even the most tenacious patterns of stagnancy and complacency, giving us the fuel to move forward, powered by our heart, spirit and highest consciousness. From that place we can stop reacting our way through life, and begin to feel and sense our way more clearly.

S.T.A.R. was gifted by the archangels to build creativity, increase intuition, deeply pacify and revitalize humanity, reminding us that we are sovereign creator beings. This book will encourage growth in ways never considered before. It's not simply about transforming our life, it's about transforming our world, inner and outer, and accepting that we have the power to do so.

From spiritual depth to rich practical insights and powerfully enlightening activities that engage, nurture and challenge; this guide has been written to lead readers into the beautiful octaves of inner human divinity that come from the simple yet profound act of becoming a Fascinated Observer.

Nina Brown, a nontraditionally aged cum laude graduate of Bryn Mawr College, went on to distinguish herself as a pioneer in business. In 1990, she established an investment company to assist women entrepreneurs. In 1995, she was appointed by President Bill Clinton to represent him at the White House Conference on Small Business and, the next year, was chosen as a Charter Member of Pennsylvania's Best 50 Women in Business. During this time, she presented at speaking engagements hosted by the US House of Representatives Field Hearings, the Pennsylvania Department of Commerce, the League of Cities Women's Caucus, Wharton Executive MBA Reunion and the Entrepreneurial Women's Expo, where she was the keynote speaker. Nina subsequently became a consultant and leader in alternative medicine. Among other initiatives, she collaborated in forming a company to bring neurosensory diagnostic tools to injured veterans who suffered brain impairment in the Gulf and Vietnam Wars. In 2014, after the publication of S.T.A.R. Philosophy, she traveled to India, where she presented before a gathering of more than 2,000 members of the Pyramid Society of Spiritual Scientists. While in India, she took S.T.A.R. philosophy to Raipur and Mumbai, and then on to Singapore. Two years later, Life University (http: //luglobal.org/about-us/) in India asked to add S.T.A.R. Philosophy and its companion book, The Fascinated Observer: A Guide to Embodying S.T.A.R. Philosophy, to its curriculum. Currently Nina serves on the executive board of Pristina Natural, Inc. helping to expand the company's presence across the United States and into Canada and Asia. Her desire is to bring S.T.A.R. philosophy into the realm of business, creating a new model for the union of consciousness and business. Throughout her endeavors, she has been guided by S.T.A.R. principles, devoting her energies full-time to this sacred spiritual mission. She has found that as the needs of the collective shift, the service asked of her evolves, and this transformative work unfolds. In addition to writing the S.T.A.R. series, Nina is the author of Return of Love to Planet Earth: Memoir of a Reluctant Visionary. Her writing has also been published in Kindred Spirit and Sedona Journal of Emergence.
