Samadhi The Divine Light

Justin Wesenberg

Samadhi is a channeled poetry book about finding enlightenment, and awakening the world through the divine light of your soul.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to rise as leaders of the new earth, and awaken the world. 
It's time to discover 
Your highest light 
As the stars illuminate 
The dark of the night 
And guide the way 
For those who explore 
It's time to open the gateway 
And unlock the door 
To a life of prosperity 
And inner bliss 
Your reality will change 
When you experience this 
No longer will you 
Limit your soul 
You will discover your essence 
And find you are whole 
Allow yourself to reunite 
With the light of the divine 
It's time to rise 
And let yourself shine 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by my search for enlightenment, and how yogis achieve this state in samadhi. 
If you’re ready to shine your divine light upon the world, Samadhi The Divine Light will be your lighthouse in the dark!

Edgar Allan Poe : The Raven and...

Edgar Allen Poe

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more." Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone's fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and "The Happiest Day". Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them.

The Walrus Has a Right to Adventure

Billie Collins

'There was a moment... Where it looked at me. The stag. We looked at each other. And I had this feeling like... Like it was gonna show me something.'
Meet Oskar, Rio and Hazel: three people getting on with their lives in different corners of the globe. They've never spoken. They've never met. But they're each about to experience a startling wild-animal encounter. One that will transform the way they think about their world.
From Norway's glittering fjords to Colorado's stunning peaks via Halewood's majestic Tesco, The Walrus Has a Right to Adventure is a swooping, soaring play about instinct, expectation and identity – and what it means to be truly free.
Inspired by real stories from around the world, Billie Collins's powerful and inventive play premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2025, directed by Nathan Crossan-Smith.
