Cindy began hearing the Collective in early 2009, when she sat down with her laptop to write a magazine article. Those conversations continue daily, although they did not name themselves ‘Josef’ until 2017.

Beginning in 2014, they revealed themselves as ‘Abraham’, channeled by Esther Hicks.  They explained, together, they would be part of the continuation of the expansion of the Abraham message.

In early 2017, during a session with Paul Selig, Cindy was relaying to Paul what she was experiencing with Abraham. He said, “I don’t think that’s how it works, but let’s go to the Guides.” They quickly responded, “There is a group who is trying to teach through her. She must ask for a name.”

Later that evening, during her daily conversation with them, asking for clarity of the session with Paul, Esther’s face appeared suddenly and clearly, in front of her, and as she was saying, to herself, “why am I seeing Esther?” They replied, “You are seeing the lovely Esther because we don’t have a face yet. We will reveal our name at the right time. We are Abraham.”

Two days later, she saw in front of her, a succession of towing planes like you see at the beach, towing advertising banners behind them. As she focused, she saw the first banner that read, “Seth”; the second banner read, “Abraham” and the third was blank. In that moment, they said,’That’s Us.” She understood then that this group was part of the evolving consciousness of Seth and Abraham and the name would come when they were ready, and it did. Later that year, they sent her to write the first book of the Allow Your Soul to Lead series, and when they signed the Welcome letter, she wrote, “We are Josef.”

Prior to 2009, Cindy spent 35 years in creative advertising and marketing. She was raised Catholic in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York and currently lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

She is called the “Georgia Gypsy” back home. Up-and-coming country artist Ashley Brooks, hailing from the North Georgia mountains, has been making waves with her distinctive country sound, powerful lyrics, and high-energy performances filled with attitude. Known as a the wild, barefoot, and fishing songwriter from North Georgia, Ashley Brooks is set to captivate audiences with her authentic charm. 

In the past year, Ashley Brooks has demonstrated her talent in over 60 performances in the South and has had the privilege of opening for acclaimed Nashville artists such as Confederate Rail Road, Billy Droze, Gary Nichols, The Oak Ridge Boys and Aaron Tippin. Ashley frequently travels from the Bible Belt of Georgia back to Nashville to collaborate with fellow songwriters and artists, showcasing her dedication to her craft and passion for music.

Having never even seen Waikiki, Jim “Kimo” West came right to the tiny village of Hana, Maui in 1985 and spent much of his time there for many years. It was in Hana where he first heard the music of Gabby Pahinui, Sons of Hawaii, Sonny Chillingworth, and Atta Isaacs. Already familiar with alternate tunings, the sound of ki ho’alu became rooted deep in his musical landscape.

Kimo is regarded as one of the world’s foremost “ki ho’alu” or Hawaiian “slack key” guitar artists and his music has garnered over seventy-five million spins on streaming services. He is a 2021 Grammy Winner for his recent CD, “More Guitar Stories” and a 2019 Grammy nominee for “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island”. He is also a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and four-time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. This warm and engaging fingerpicked guitar style has its roots in 1840’s Hawaii, when Mexican vaqueros first brought guitars to the Big Island of Hawaii. If you saw the Oscar-winning film, “The Decendants” you have experienced this great acoustic guitar tradition.
Kimo is a veteran of Hawaii’s famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival every year from 2008 through 2018. He has shared the stage with almost all the world’s top slack key players at one time or another.

His numerous CDs feature many original compositions as well as inventive arrangements of the genres’ classic repertoire. His seventh CD, “Guitar Stories” goes beyond slack key, exploring other genres like West African guitar, Middle Eastern Music, and Americana. “Slackers In Paradise” features duets with slack and steel guitar legend, Ken Emerson, and his latest CD, “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island” is a mix of “nahenahe” or very relaxing compositions.

For his work as long-time guitarist with “Weird Al,” he has earned four Grammy’s and a Billboard #1 CD debut for 2015’s “Mandatory Fun.”

Kimo has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. He has composed music for features films, network TV shows and specials and cable shows. His slack key compositions have been used in many feature films, TV spots, and documentaries.
