We’ve had many, many dozens of comments and questions regarding that “publicity” photo. Due to the white luminosity around the head and the blue eyes (an eye color I don’t naturally have), people are asking if the photo was touched up and the answer is . . . NO! The story is simple: when it was decided that I would be on the cover of Evolve Magazine, it was also decided that we need a new photo with higher resolution for the glossy cover. So one afternoon, I rushed over to a friend’s house, who happens to be an artist and a photographer. We shot a half-dozen photos and the one you see was the first one we shot. It was very quick and spontaneous. Evolve Magazine chose the second one we shot as it was more suitable for them due to having less light around the head. They also touched up their chosen photo by deleting as much light as they could without harming the image. So what you see on the Evolve cover is actually a photo that has been altered to remove some of the light. Also, when we took the photos, the entire background was completely green due to these lush green trees but they were totally washed out by the white light you see around the head, neck, and chest. Lastly, if you were to look carefully at the eyes, they are blue but this was actually an unusual occurrence and not due to contact lenses or photo touch-up. So there you have it! I have explained that the photo is real and not touched up but I have not explained why these physical and metaphysical changes took place. I will leave that up to you to understand. Thanks for the curiosity and support.

Sincerely, Kit

Dear Kit: Many thanks for your email and question. As mentioned in the “You’re Not Going Crazy . . .” book, feeling as though you are going through seemingly endless cycles of healing the same old issues is actually relatively normal. I know it gets “old” having to deal with issues of the past but if the issues were healed, they would not be recurring. It’s as simple as that. If stuff comes up, then it must mean there is something there worth healing. That which seems like the “same old stuff” is NEVER exactly the same. If you’ve done any healing work on it, then it must always be a deeper version of our unhealed wounds. But the purpose of old issues entering your life is not just to give you something to work on. Instead, these moments are also great reminders that we are also supposed to be replacing the old patterns with new, positive patterns. So be sure to take advantage of these moments. Use them to heal, as well as to re-fill the past with a greater quantity of God’s Presence.

I greatly appreciate your interest in our Grail Productions blog. For the first entry, I would like to offer a brief overview of our intention and purpose. First, the main focus of my teaching, and of our Grail Productions website, is that we need, above all else, to reconnect with Spirit–God–by making our relationship with Spirit our first priority. Second, we need to live this connection not in just a lofty, philosophical way, but instead, to integrate this connection into every aspect of our life–physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. If you were to interview most of our longtime students, they would agree that what they have learned is very real, very practical, and has positively affected their ENTIRE life. Rather than merely affecting their spiritual beliefs, they usually state that their health, meditation, sexuality, relationships, emotions, creativity, inspirations, prosperity and more, have all improved and continue to do so. I refer to this lifestyle as Living the Christ Life OR Living Mastery, because it so perfectly depicts living in a manner that most authentically represents our true destiny. What more could we ask for?

Love & Light, Michael Mirdad
