ENDORSEMENTS FOR Being Ourself: “The indigenous community recognizes that the collective and the individual move together, in a dance of interdependence, as essential elements in the ‘whole’ of community. Each of us is a thread in the garment of ‘Ourself’; our survival may well depend on our hearing this message from the world of spirit.” Malidoma P. Somé, Phd, African elder, leader in the men's movement, and author of Of Water and the Spirit and The Healing Wisdom of Africa. "Being Ourself takes you on a journey into the heart and soul of human existence. It is about finding yourself in Ourself and finding Ourself in yourself. Life comes through us, and not, from us. The sooner we realize this notion residing within us and all around us, the sooner we can all Be Ourself. Thanks Ty Clement for helping us to remember who we really are." Sam Oliver, Hospice Chaplain, and author of What the Dying Teach Us: Lessons on Living (a Doubleday Book Club selection) and The Path Into Healing. "This book spoke to me very clearly about the awakening of the evolution of consciousness which I believe is happening on the planet." Elmira Ingersoll, 98 year old spiritual elder and co-director of the spiritual retreat Harmony House in Lyme, Connecticut. Ty's Murals-Click to Enlarge |
About the Author
Ty Clement is a happily married father of five
who lives in Missoula, Montana. He first began
recognizing Ourself at the age of 16 while
attending Millbrook School in Millbrook, NY
where he was reading Emerson, Thoreau, and
Whitman and spending lots of time in nature
with a close group of friends. Since that time
he has been devotedly being Ourself and
manifesting Ourself as a social worker, interior
mural painter, and professional musician. He
began writing Being Ourself in 2000 in response
to the growing desire for a new "spiritual but
not religious" paradigm that he recognized in
both his peer group as well as in his parents'
peer group (the Baby Boomers). However, in
sharing his writings he has found that some of
his strongest encouragement has come from a
younger audience (folks in their twenties), and
an older audience (his biggest fan, Elmira
Ingersoll, just turned 100!).
Having completed his Masters of Social Work in
2007, Ty is currently working as a therapist with
homeless and low income patients at a
progressive mental health center called Winds
of Change, homeschooling his children with his
wife Sara, and playing the drums for the
eclectic-electric bluegrass band, the Voodoo
Horseshoes.
