Over the last four years, I have narrated and turned many of my books into audiobooks. I am now in the process of turning the rest of them into audiobooks via Amazon’s new beta, virtual-voice AI technology. Because the technology is new, you can only buy the virtual-voice-narrated audiobooks via Amazon US. My human-narrated books are available in most countries through Amazon Audible and other audio channels.
The virtual voice I am using has an Australian accent (like me) but lacks emotion and the transfer of spiritual energy. At first, I was not interested in virtual voice for these reasons. However, someone pointed out that they prefer virtual voice because they like to add their own emotion. So, I changed my mind—it’s an experiment.

Listening to audiobooks is an easy way of “reading” and is time-efficient. You can multitask—listen and drive, walk, run, or go to sleep. It is also a powerful way of connecting with an author. It helps the listener to grow in a natural, almost unnoticed way. Although we can read broadly for education and entertainment purposes, when it comes to effective spiritual work, the best approach is to focus intently on the work of a teacher we are drawn to. You can read endless words about spiritual matters that have no substantial impact on your progress, but everyone makes progress when they intensely dedicate their time, at least for certain periods, to the teachers they are drawn to. In this vein, my audiobooks are offered. They contain the foundational elements of truth, and I’m confident they will have a healing and uplifting impact.
