Acknowledgment
I would like to offer a special word of gratitude to my beloved mentor, Dr. Wayne Dyer. Though we never met, your thoughts and words have brought light into otherwise unilluminated regions of my life.
To Ken Roberts – thank you for being a tireless example of kindness and constant thought of others – and for demonstrating simple yet profound spiritual principles in action.
To Stephanie Straubhar – you have believed in this work from the beginning. You are my friend for life. Now we carry the message of light to the world.
Introduction
This book is a collection of thoughts and insights which are the result of simply seeking and embracing timeless universal truths. They are a celebration and amalgamation of perennial philosophy – drawn from the wisdom of The Vedas, The Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching and other spiritual writings. Their intent is to compel introspection and to affect a shift – over time – in the consciousness of the reader. The only way to change the world is to change one’s self. And the only way to change one’s self is to change one’s thoughts. It is my prayer that the writings contained in this volume will assist you in the change you seek. For it is not the power of these words – or even the thoughts, concepts or truths therein that will affect change in you. Rather, it is the God-given desire to go beyond that which we presently are that affects change.
The premise for this work, being spiritual in nature, makes mention of God in a variety of forms. Creator, Source, Universe, Great Architect, God – all of these refer to the Divine Intelligence responsible for the visible Universe, which propagates from invisible realms. There are quotes from Jesus, Buddha, and many others in this work. I have no interest in promoting or proselytizing for any denomination or religious sect or branch. I count myself among a growing number of seekers who wish to sidestep dogmas and doctrines and focus on the essence of truth – in order that a spiritual experience may take place.
The reader will also find many references to science and scientific research in this document. I, among many others, see a direct correlation between scientific advancement and discovery – and a closing of the gap between materialism and spirituality. The work of the Creator can be seen through the electron microscope AND the extraterrestrial telescope.
Approach with an open mind, and you will find here nothing of offense – only the musings of one who seeks to better understand the nature of Being.
May the one true God – whose name is LOVE – open our hearts of understanding, and operate through us – to bring into this realm more Love, more Joy, and more Peace.
Thank you. I love you.
Who Am I?
Who are you, really? You are the intention behind your thoughts. You are the observer of the thoughts. You may like to believe that you are the originator of the thoughts – but in order to believe this you must accept, in utter naivety, that society has no influence in shaping what you think. Many studies have shown otherwise. But it is your intention toward thought that is the source of power within you.
By understanding the nature of this intention – and how to harness and direct it – you can begin the lifelong journey of becoming the master of your own thoughts. What are your wishes and desires – at the deepest core level? Do you make a practice of even noticing these?
Many people have suggested that you and I have been lulled into a sort of slumber, which affords us the latitude to work and to enjoy entertainment, but defies and weakens our interest in tuning in to our Higher Self – our True Self. George Carlin suggested that we are encouraged to be smart enough to work and produce money – which is meant to be transferred to others by one means or another – but that we are discouraged from becoming free, critical, imaginative thinkers. Whether this is part of some grand conspiracy to relieve us of our hard-earned dollar is a matter of opinion. What we do know to be true is that it has become altogether commonplace to focus our attention on temporal satisfactions and dismiss completely any pursuit of the truth about who we really are.
Your body is changing every single second. In fact, it is changing so profoundly that when you understand the scientific descriptions about how quickly and fundamentally your body is changing, you cannot possibly continue to cultivate – with any conviction – that you ARE your body. And science goes even further. Not only are you not your body – you aren’t even IN your body. Rather, your body is in YOU. The electro/magnetic field that you generate completely consumes your body – and extends about nine feet around your body.
So who are you, really? You are an ineffable essence, temporarily occupying an ever-changing body and constantly evolving in consciousness. You are the seat of intuition and knowing. You are a vastly complex concentration of awareness – from the imagination of a Creator who is perfectly and utterly beyond comprehension. And your awareness, at certain levels, operates like an antenna – sending and receiving information energy within dimensions of fields which are only just beginning to be explored by science.
You are the bearer of fierce power – intended fo
