A recent testimonial from Sandy Betka • Clare, You have the BEST Enneagram site I have ever seen! Your cartoon animations and story-lines uncovering the "veils of illusion" to reach enlightenment are absolutely fantastic and entertaining!!! I wish you sold downloads of your animations....I'd buy them.....I highly recommend that everyone checks out your site!! I have read a lot of Enneagram books and visited many websites over the years....your site is fabulous....I really enjoyed it.

The Maya Series contains seven hundred illustrations (mostly in color) pointing to enlightenment. Volume One is the first in a series of three, which point to Self Realization. It examines the nitty gritty aspects in our life that seem to be in the way of discovering our true nature as Consciousness. The books pictorially make the illusions so clear you can see through them and wake up. Watch the Satsang video and the Lifting the Veils video below to learn more. See article on The Maya Series
	The second edition is now available for Kindle Fire or ipad with new, large color illustrations. Spellbind is a unique way to learn about the Enneagram. The novel incorporates much of what is in The Maya Series. To watch a video on Spellbind click here.
An invitation to satsang in cartoon. This film is approximately 6 minutes long. It is an invitation to be your Self as well as bust through some of the myths surrounding enlightenment. Again, Clare's clarity, humour, refreshing honesty and creative talent combine to make a delightful video pointing to where true and lasting fulfilment lies. - Elaine Diffey
	This film goes into the nitty gritty of how we forget ourselves as Consciousness. It looks at a number of trances we enter on a moment by moment basis. Often it's our trances we don't like and not reality. This film is based upon the book (of the same name). I've taken some sketches, animated and then put them to music. It's 11 minutes long and I've packed quite a bit into the film so you may want to watch it a few times.

The Episodes below: 'The Enneagram Show' is a little like the New Yorker animations with an Awakening theme. The second series are episodes of Spellbind (Hanshi's Secret lessons to Waking Up). Click on the TVs for the links or the nav buttons on the left.

New presentation of live interviews on the Enneagram;

an e-book titled, Lifting the Veils of Illusion, which is an illustrated text on the Enneagram; on waking up to what's deeper; and on NLP (neuro-linguistic programing);

and Spellbind ...

Spellbind - a novel about awakening and the Enneagram

This is an exciting adventure story about magicians and their spells and a great way to learn about the Enneagram, waking up, The Power of Now and NLP.

I made this trailer to explain the story:
