THE BOOK

More Than You Hoped For:

The Unexpected Joy of Raising an Autistic Playwright

More Than You Hoped For Book

This book is the story of one family’s difficult journey with autism.  It exemplifies the spiritual journey to awakening that each of us has the chance to make during these times of global transition.

Jaison Hart

Unlike other narrative non-fiction books about autism, this is not the usual story of how a mother tries to help her autistic child to speak. Rather it’s the story of how Sharon encourages her autistic son, Jaison, to develop  his gift of playwrighting, even though he can only communicate by typing. It is the story of a mother supporting her son’s dream to see his play on stage as an avenue for educating the public about the hidden treasure that can be found in the autistic soul. Her journey propels her to make a quantum leap in spiritual realization beyond usual notions of personal enlightenment.  This spiritual memoir is the tender portrayal of living a conscious life, even when faced with a difficult challenge like raising a child with autism.

An excerpt from the book:

“Sometimes, I wonder if it’s my fault. Sometimes I wonder if he even knows that he has a mom,”

Sharon shares her heartache with Shayli, her spiritual mentor.
“When your child has autism, you live daily with inconsistencies in behaviors that stymie the mind. Understandably your life is filled with concerning about how to help your child to talk and function. But just for a moment, imagine that your child might have something of great value to share with you; something that you might not be able to understand yet. There is no way that the mind can comprehend autism, but if you allow your child’s autism to open your heart, you might find yourself peeking under the ‘matrix’ of life, leaping into quantum consciousness, experiencing a glimpse of peace and even joy and eventually realizing who you really are,” Shayli explains.

Guest Author Jaison Hart

Jaison Hart is an autistic playwright and a shy young man with an enormous heart of compassion, and a brilliant mind. Although he cannot speak with his mouth, he began typing to communicate his thoughts, ideas and feelings when he was 10 years old. He began typing the play when he was 15 one letter at a time.

At fifteen, he began to write Dreams of An Autistic Playwright in hopes of sharing his message of love through his favorite medium: theater. His dream was to create a fun and uplifting play, through which he could educate the public about autism. His deeper purpose was to bring TRUE friends into his life.

Pre-Order Status on the Book

We expect the book to be ready for the 2022 winter holiday season. You will receive your NFT copy of the audio book as soon as it’s released.

When you buy SILENT VICTORY: A Multimedia Experience NFT you get more value than that comes in the form of additional NFTS called “airdrops”. An “airdrop” means that as soon as these NFTS are minted you will receive them FREE for no additional charge beyond your original purchase. 

With SILENT VICTORY: A Multimedia Experience NFT, you get 4 FREE additional NFT airdrops:

  1. The pre-order More Than You Hoped For: The Unexpected Joy of an Autistic Playwright as a NFT audiobook read by Sharon Hart (Current value $20-$50)
  2. FREE NFT Collectible One Artwork Caricature of a scene from Jaison’s Play by artist David Sullivan ( $20-$200 or more)
    When Jaison was 15 years old, and he was in the early creation stage of imagining what his play would be like, he shared his ideas with his art teacher, David Sullivan.. David Sullivan is one of these cartoon artists that can draw an amazing cartoon in just five minutes. Jaison told David about his visions of what the play would be like, and David drew what Jaison described. When you buy this NFT, you also receive a copy of one of the cartoons that David drew for Jaison.
  3. FREE NFT (Airdrop) Collectible Inspirational Article with Spiritual Significance about Autism ($50-$250 or more)
    Just a few weeks prior to Hurricane Katrina, a woman in New Orleans was busy correlating her newsletter that was scheduled to be distributed shortly. It contained a short article written by Sharon Hart about her journey with Jaison. It was a very inspiring piece, but when Katrina hit New Orleans, it washed away in the flood. But when you buy this NFT, you will own this article that will uplift parents of children with autism with spiritual wisdom.
  4. FREE NFT (Airdrop) “ A Taste of Quantum Dialogue Works” 
    When you listen to the audiobook More Than You Hoped For: The Unexpected Joy of Raising an Autistic Playwright, you will find it overflowing with spiritual wisdom. Many people ask Sharon how to apply this wisdom to their own lives. Her answer was to develop a spiritual healing modality that she calls Quantum Dialogue Works. This free NFT airdrop is a stunningly beautiful PowerPoint presentation that you will introduce you to Quantum Dialogue Works.

It’s like Crowdfunding:

When you purchase Silent Victory: The MultiMedia Experience it’s sort of like crowdfunding the Hart’s book, play and movie. You get to be a small but very important part in funding the Harts project. But it’s quite different from crowdfunding, because in crowdfunding you make a donation, and your money is spent

But with this NFT you are making an investment in Hart’s humanitarian project. Many NFTs today that were bought originally for a small amount of money are selling today for a huge return on the investment.

Given that this NFT is introducing a book, a play and a movie, as well as a new modality for spiritual healing, the chances that this NFT will soar are quite high. You are buying this NFT at an introductory price, but when you sell this NFT surely you will make a very good return on your investment.

It’s an Investment, A Collectible and a Crypto.
Not only will this NFT increase but the additional 3 NFT’s, you receive as free airdrops are also highly likely to increase in value. How does the value of all 4 of these NFTS increase?

  1. Any time the Hart’s work is publicized, it will increase the value of the NFTs you own.
  2. Each time the musical Dreams of an Autistic Playwright is performed in a different city
  3. The opening of the HartWisdom NFT community.
  4. The release of the movie
  5. Everytime you share the opportunity to own this NFT with a friend, or any other owner of the NFT does the same.

The Opening of the HartWisdom NFT Community

Our intention is to open The HartWisdom NFT Community as soon as possible. We are still in the creative phase of this project and researching the best way to make it happen on a technological level. We will find a way to do it and when we launch it, you will receive an invitation to join. We plan to have different levels of membership but as an owner of the Hart’s first NFT Silent Victory: A Multimedia Experience you will be given the highest level of membership at no additional charge. If we can find a technological way to do it, we hope to be able to offer a small percentage of the royalties of the movie to YOU!

Our goal is to create the More Than you hoped for NFT community where members will have access to NFT’s of the following:

artwork,

songs,

articles,

meditations,

online courses,

spiritual mentoring groups,

tickets to performances of the play

video copies of play performances

Ebook

The movie- Silent Victory (working title)

And more!!

What is all the excitement about an NFT? What is an NFT?

There was a time when people couldn’t imagine how their phone could be a camera.

There was a time before Kindle, when all books were made of paper.

There was a time before texting, and email, when all correspondence occurred via snail mail.

There was a time before crypto, when a coin meant a penny or a quarter.

There was a time before Zoom, when business meetings happened in a boardroom.

 

Now there is a new kid on the block. It’s called a NFT or non-fungible token.

And if you look NFT up on the internet you will find something like this definition on Investopedia. But don’t even read it, just glance quickly because it only provides technical mumbo-jumbo, it doesn’t really tell you what this is all about.

What Is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?

Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Unlike cryptocurrencies, they cannot be traded or exchanged at equivalency. This differs from fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies, which are identical to each other and, therefore, can be used as a medium for commercial transactions.

Instead of reading that, try imagining this:

A new way of launching and distributing books that’s beyond Barnes and Noble.

A new way of launching new feature films without Warner Bros, or Disney, or even Netflix.

Sort of like Amazon, Youtube and Instagram all rolled into one, but it’s much more than that.

It’s a way of supporting your favorite author, or movie producer, whenever you suggest that a friend buys a copy.

We have a new acronym for NFT- Now Futuristic Technologies. Maybe we will come up with a better acronym later, but anything is better than Non-Fungible Token. LOL

But a NFT is more than that.

It’s a way to do crowdfunding for your favorite humanitarian project, but instead of making a donation, you have the potential to make a substantial return on your investment.

It’s hard to imagine an NFT can do all this, but it does so much more because it’s a new technology built on blockchain and structured with smart contracts. Don’t worry about what that means, if you don’t get it, just keep reading.

It’s a cross between a collectible, an investment, a stock, and a crypto all rolled into one. When you buy this piece of art, music or history, you spend like $150 for it, but in 6 months you might sell a copy of it for $500 or $5000 or a lot more. Some NFTS today are selling for $100,000’s.

Just imagine sitting down at a gathering with some friends, and passing your phone around the group, so you can inspire others by sharing a snippet of your favorite book, play, song, art collectible or motivational speaker. Now imagine people worldwide sharing these same NFTs and you begin to get an idea of how quickly the value of your NFT can climb.

And just remember your favorite music artist, playwright, or screenwriter will have new NFT’s for you to purchase and share regularly. Many NFT creators are offering a way to connect to a community of like-minded individuals where you can get additional value, sort of like a membership site. It’s no wonder that NFTs have so much value in today’s market that they often soar in financial value, even when cryptos take a dip.

Now you have a taste, but just a taste of how awesome an NFT can be. But you still might not be sure what a NFT really is. That’s ok. When someone first told me about NFT’s I couldn’t quite wrap my head around it either. But when I saw it in action, I got really excited because the possibilities for sharing value on digital and actual physical artistic products and humanitarian projects were endless.

Coming Soon: The way to really understand is to just take a look at the 5-minute video that is our NFT Silent Victory: A MultiMedia Experience and have a look around. You just might find your heart soaring with excitement.
