She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life. Her website is www.kamlak.com. Here she reflects upon World War II and the dark side of humanity’s psyche. She points out that working on the shadow must always begin with oneself. She emphasizes the necessity of connecting the intellect with one’s own heart. The legend of Faust exemplifies this principle. She also explains her visionary experience of Anubis, the jackal deity, who transforms decayed material within his own body.
