Buried Treasure: Unearth Your Golden Soul

Amakiasu Turpin-Howze

Description

The unfathomable power of being is exquisitely revealed in Buried Treasure: Unearth Your Golden Soul. Insights of celebrated thought leaders are placed at our fingertips.
She sought only to rescue herself, but the universe had a different plan; others could be saved too. In Buried Treasure: Unearth Your Golden Soul, Amakiasu Turpin-Howze shares universal laws and principles which transformed her personal trauma into life-giving waters.Her emotional distress drove her to take notes because, as she says, “I needed to hold on firmly to the wisdom of the ages. I needed something to soften the blow.”
Fast forward several months to her little notebook, now chock full of inspirational messages that carried Amakiasu through one of the most difficult periods of her life. With her grief easing, she thought, “Surely, I’m not alone. Personal trauma is part of the human journey. Some barely survive, while others are scarred for the duration. If these principles saved my life, maybe they can help someone else too.”
Those notes turned book, brim here with universal laws and principles that, if consciously applied, can catalyze the power within to elevate and enlighten us. They come from thought leaders, such as, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Neville Goddard, and Deepak Chopra. Their message is here for the taking. Amakiasu demonstrates and interprets many of these with stories and reflections from her life.
Buried Treasure: Unearth Your Golden Soul is a veritable treasure trove for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be spiritual beings on this Earth plane. If it doesn’t inspire you, it will, at minimum, give you much food for thought and tools for better living.

PREFACE
The meteorologists must have been on vacation ( all of them), for I was hit by a tremendous storm when I least expected it. The waters had been tranquil, the breeze balmy and the landscape stunningly beautiful. Clear skies and sun-drenched vistas deceived me. I was caught off-guard, knocked off my feet and pummeled to the ground by gale force winds, debris flying and nothing upon which to hold (so I thought). My injuries were severe.
I have come to believe that emotional pain can be just as devastating as extreme physical pain and the road to recovery, as arduous, if not more so. Honestly, at the time of this writing, my recuperation and return to wholeness was still in progress. What I knew for sure, in those early months, after my husband’s abrupt and unexpected departure (from my second marriage) is that my healing would come from the world of Spirit and higher consciousness. In desperation, I gathered my most beloved spiritual texts, including Neville Goddard’s Awakened Imagination and Prayer, The Art of Believing ; Deepak Chopra’s, numerous on-line talks and meditations; Florence Scovel Shinn’s Your Word is Your Wand ; Wayne Dyer’s Wishes Fulfilled; The I Am Discourses, and the teachings of Adama A laji.
As I read these works, and others, sometimes a particular passage or statement struck a chord and I knew, if I could grasp it at the soul level, my heartache would diminish. I wanted this more than anything, so I put some of these statements in a small notebook, then went one step further. I boldly wrote, in large black marker, the ones that really spoke to me on separate sheets of paper and hung them in strategic places in my bedroom; mostly where I could see them, as soon as I opened my eyes every morning. Yes, practically on the ceiling!
Ironically, many of the writings I was putting down had nothing to do with lost love or emotional pain directly, but rather, they carried the message of who we are and of what lies at our deepest core, as spiritual beings . I was therefore reminded of several profound truths:
• Though sometimes impacted deeply by them, we are not our stories.
• Circumstances change continuously, so being a witness, instead of an object of circumstance, is a far better choice.
• The universe is benevolent.
• We create our reality with our thoughts.
• Dependency on others for our happiness leads to trouble.
Gradually, as I resurrected these concepts from the depths of my sorrow, I unearthed the healing balm of Spirit. I bathed in it. I drank it. I inhaled it. These universal principles were so rich and such an aid to me that I wanted to share with others who might also be facing extreme challenges. As I thought about compiling my notes, I considered today’s “digitized” culture and how far from reading books we’ve come. It occurred to me that this publication should be an easy read; one that could be picked up and put down in less than a minute with the reader inspired or strengthened by the words on a single page. Thus, its format. There is more, however, for those who will take the time. I encourage you to sit with one statement at a time so you can plumb its depths and reap the full benefit of the message. It need not be read in sequence like a novel. Open any page and allow it to sink in.
INTRODUCTION
When I was 16 or 17, I decided to become an atheist, despite my Christian upbringing and periods spent in the Baptist and Episcopal church. My parents were not particularly pushy when it came to attending church, so I never felt brow beaten. As a matter of fact, perhaps it was their leniency that allowed me the freedom to think outside of the norm and dare to ponder whether there was really a God, at all.
You see, I simply could not understand why there was so much trouble in the world and in life itself, if there was an omnipotent, all loving, all caring God on the scene. To my adolescent brain and heart, it did not add up: There were people starving all over the planet, I was a descendant of formerly enslaved Africans, there was the horrific Holocaust and endless wars fought, of which I had no understanding, only that people willingly killed other human beings and brought untold suffering upon each other.
Closer to home, there were my two sisters who suffered from different but chronic illnesses. My younger sister, with whom I shared a bedroom, had asthma, sometimes struggling to breathe at night. Seeing them suffer was hard. When they hurt, I hurt. In all of this, I could not reconcile the presence of God. Strangely, deciding there was no such entity brought me temporary peace. Still, however, my heart ached for humanity.
In college, my inquisitive mind continued its foray. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? What is my purpose? If there is or is not a God, what are my spiritual beliefs? These questions opened a portal to a whole new world. I wanted answers. I found myself very attracted to Eastern belief systems. My horizons expanded as I began reading books by Paramahansa Yogananda, J. Krishnamurti, Bagwhan Shree Rajneesh (OSHO), and the Tao Te Ching. And there were others as time went on, not necessarily from far Eastern schools of thought.
Over time, it dawned on me that the concept of God, “out there,” did not work for me. Where exactly was “ He ?” The use of the male pronoun to refer to this omnipotent spirit also bothered me, but “She” would not work either. Both were pronouns for people. My primary interest was in the essence of being, the Divine So urce.
As my studies continued throughout my adult life, I finally grasped a Biblical saying that had gnawed at me for many years. “Man/ we were created in God’s image,” so says the Bible. For years, I shook my head at this idea. I thought, “we cannot LOOK like God because God is not a physical being!” What I have now come to understand is that since we are of God, we have the attributes of God, and these attributes were the “image” to which the Bible referred.
This made sense to me and caused me to sing and shout. Yes! Yes! We are supremely intelligent, wondrously creative, capable of unconditional love, and imbued with the power to manifest. This realization was mind boggling. We do not look like God, but we are like God. What if everyone knew this in their bones? What if children were taught that as beings of God, like God, we can create, manifest, bring into being. And what if we were given the steps to the manifestation process at a very early age. And suppose we knew the power of God within us and acknowledged and celebrated it continuously. Eureka! Might this be the answer to at least some of our woes?
So here, in these pages, I have compiled from my most cherished books, messages from well-known and not-so-well-known writers and thinkers whose insights range from profound to simple, always meaningful, thought provoking, and for me, so very helpful.
Years of contemplation mixed with equal parts trial and tribulation, have led me here. I am convinced that knowing who we are at the core would change everything, from our individual
