New Website And Web Book Coming From WingMakers

In my effort to catch up with material I'd  come across during an extended downtime, I've set this up to post automatically during my time of limited computer access.  The WingMakers have launched another website, SpiritState, the focus of which is a forthcoming web book entitled, "The Dohrman Prophecy."  I've only just gotten to explore the new website over the past day or so and have signed up to participate in whatever they have to offer.  Virtually all of the WingMakers materials have resonated with me greatly, so I'm looking forward to reading the web book.  And, as I stated in my last post, my commentary for the time being on any posts will be at a minimum.  Perhaps that's a good thing.  Below is more information about the website and the new book, which I believe is the most significant release of materials from WingMakers in some time, perhaps since EventTemples.


The following is from Mark Hempel via the WingMakers' SpiritState website:

"The SpiritState Web Book Platform is the latest offering from James, the creator, author, composer, and artist who first launched the multidimensional and mind-expanding WingMakers website. Since 1998 over ten million people from across the globe have enjoyed the storytelling, art, music and spiritual philosophy of this innovative and visionary creator.

The SpiritState Platform will enable James to release his latest works, the first of which is The Dohrman Prophecy, a new mythos-based novel as powerful in its storytelling as it is in its philosophical prose. The Dohrman Prophecy is available exclusively as a Web Book, a technology that James commissioned from LightCode to enable readers to take notes, share comments, and connect with one another as they read, view and absorb the material.

The Ancient Arrow Project is a centerpiece in the WingMakers' materials and it has been completely re-imagined on this Web Book Platform, and it comes with a thirty day free trial. Also, James will be releasing the Collected Works of the WingMakers in two expansive volumes with editorial commentary by John Berges, a lifelong student of the world's esoteric spiritual works. This will be released on the Web Book Platform in the coming months..." [read more]

And below is a trailer for the Dohrman Prophecy web book.  As always, the quality of the WingMakers materials is outstanding.  My thanks to James, Mark and the other content creators for making this material available for free online.  Enjoy.





Update:  Some caveats regarding the website.  It appears to still be in its last states of incubation.  I registered and spent some time exploring.  The site is set up as a social networking website, a bit similar to but more detailed than Event Temples.  Apparently on SpiritState one can search for and befriend other members, but I couldn't get any of the search controls to deliver results with multiple logins, other than keywords within the "SpiritState User Guide," which is the only web book currently available, as "The Dohrman Prophecy" is yet to be released.  The second thing that I noticed after registering and receiving an account activation email was that the "The Dorhman Prophecy" is stated to be offered as a "Free 30-day trial," yet there are no "buy now" pages or parameters within the registration page that required any financial information.  The site also contains no advertising, which is great, but may portend that upon expiration of my 30-day trial, I'll be presented with a browser window that requires membership payments of some kind.  I'll know in thirty days.  Another feature or lack thereof that bothered me was that first and last names were required, yet no screen or website name.  In these days of multiple layers of privacy concerns, I didn't like that.  If I notice any changes I'll post an update here.

~ Namaste. ~
