This book is written in a theistic context; that, I believe God is in control. It is not an easy proposition to intelligent, technical and scientifically thinking AI Robotic brains. Existence itself is the Love-Truth that infill and surrounds all that exist, It is The all-inclusive - ‘IS’. Existence itself is a present- continuous-ongoing-event that can only be represented by ‘IS’ or the present-continuous- state-of-being. The idea of meta-love counseling or ‘beyond’ counseling is, being-in-the- moment-that-reveals-itself to the one who is ready in sensitive alertness to receive whatever IS. This book maintains that none is entitled to alter the perpetual ‘IS” The ‘Counselor’ as Jesus meant will lead you into situations that redeem and heal. The idea is very simple. In that particular state-of-being the counselor whom we refer to as the Christian-Meta-Love –Counselor or a Healing Presence, functions as a conduit of healing in the confused, suffering, broken, desperate, defeated, self-centered, unforgiving individuals to gain freedom from their private bondage to experience Healing. It is not as much as what the Meta-Love-Counselor does but who she or he is within the glorious presence of Jesus who in fills the Meta-love-counselor to function as an agent of the healing in and through the Meta-love-counselor only acts as a channel of healing. The Holy Spirit; source of all comfort and healing begins flowing to the person in need, through you, who functions as a genuine conduit for the happening, healing process. The dynamics of such happenings is not explainable technically; as it is there for anyone in the Spirit to experience it and for those outside it to reject outright. Without love, the counselee will only be influenced to believe everything is fine. Love-Truth makes all things possible including all comforting, healing and wholeness. Surrounded by Love-Truth, all things become possible. Surrender in Love-Truth to sense the magic of love.

Between birth and death, many of life's most critical moments occur in hospital, and they deserve to take place in surroundings that match their significance. In this spirit, from the early Renaissance through to the modern period, artists have made immensely powerful work in hospitals across the western world, enhancing the environments where patients and medical staff strive towards better health. Distinguished art historian Richard Cork became fascinated by the extraordinary richness of art produced in hospitals, encompassing work by many of the great masters - Piero della Francesca, Rogier van der Weyden, El Greco, William Hogarth, Jacques-Louis David, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Fernand Leger, Marc Chagall and Naum Gabo. Cork's brilliant survey discovers the astonishing variety of images found in medical settings, ranging from dramatic confrontations with suffering (Matthias Grunewald at Isenheim) to the most sublime celebrations of heavenly ecstasy (Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in Venice).In the process, he reveals art's prodigious ability to humanize our hospitals, alleviate their clinical bleakness and leave a profound, lasting impression on patients, staff and visitors. -- Publisher's blurb.
