EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK

“The ability to focus our minds and be aware of our thoughts can be challenging, unless we are practicing mind control methods: meditation, tai chi’, etc. One is not always aware of the amount of information constantly going on in the mind. If we could write down each thought, each moment of each day, we would be extremely amazed at the amount of energy consumed on what might be called “wasted thoughts”…..…”between each thought there is space. Depending on how many thoughts you have in a certain time period will limit the amount of space between those thoughts”…….”the space between thoughts is “silence”. Only when there is silence can we hear what the Universe/God is clearly saying. Albert Einstein has been quoted for many things, but one of my favorite is, “I want to know God’s thoughts...the rest are details”. -Pg. 12

“The ego of the mind does not want to give up control! It rather enjoys the dictatorship it possesses. But by realizing how limited and fragile the ego is, in comparison to realizing God’s thoughts, would be like a raindrop, where pure joy is entering the river”. -Pg. 13

“You have chosen the characters in your movie, and in turn, they have chosen you for their movie. Some of these characters we may call parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, business partners, spouses, rivals and even enemies. They add to the zest of your story line. Without them, the story is not worthy of your participation. We spend so much energy trying to change the persons in our life, we forget that if they did change, it would change the entertainment of our remarkable story.” -Pg. 19

“The more you read, travel and observe with over 5 billion other authors, by rowing your boat each day, your life becomes an exceptional journey of entertainment. Fulfilling our story, by actively participating and expressing ourselves with confidence, we recognize the vital role we play for our movie and others. This confidence can offer a sense of bliss. Imagine that everything you do and say is beautiful and worthy. Rebezar Tarz, a great Tibetan monk, wrote: “True happiness is a sensation of momentary balance. When man remembers who and what he really is, he does no wrong and injures no one. Even his worst mistake turns out to help others, and they become profitable lesson to all.” -Pg. 21

“The idiosyncrasy of polarity, if not understood and respected, can lead to an emotional roller coaster. If one does not balance his/her diet, work or play, extracurricular activities without rest, and/or sustaining negative thoughts about themselves and their world, one’s body will divorce itself and become ill. Dis-ease of the mind will create dis-ease of the body.” -Pg. 24

“This polarity includes love and fear.”…..”that love seemed to give us more energy and enthusiasm towards life. It made the journey of life more enjoyable. This person also described how love can accumulate. The image of a glass (human spirit) and water (love thoughts and deeds) were used as a metaphor. Each droplet of water reflected a choice of love, while fear was not the opposite, or took away the droplet, it just represented nothing. It was as though the energy to think in fear was nonproductive. Each time you thought of and/or acted upon a loving thought, it added a droplet to the glass. The goal was to fill the glass to the brim as an investment program. Eventually the investment would return significant benefits/dividends to the investor. Once reaching the brim of the glass, it took only one more loving thought or action to break its seal. When the seal is broken with that crucial droplet, the water begins to overflow, and the abundance of love never again equals the singular droplet of love added to the glass. Once the person is committed to sustaining loving thoughts, the rewards for their efforts/investments is the self-realization of their purpose and destiny on this planet.” -Pg. 25

“Truth and honesty will lead to clarity and clarity will always lead to happiness. I love the quote from Spencer Tracy: “Remember your lines in life and don’t bump into the furniture.” -Pg. 29

“During the point of “letting go” my mind would slow down as though I were consciously meditating. I started to become aware of each thought”…“As though my knowledge of subjects and theories were being accelerated at an increasing rate. I later grew to understand that this space and silence between my thoughts allowed me to focus even more of my energy on the next thought or object. It was as though my mind, before “letting go” was a sprinkler head, spraying water and thoughts across a wide area and by “letting go” and listening. I was able to focus and bring clarity to my life, similar to projecting water from a powerful garden hose.” -Pg. 36-37

“Are you choosing your thoughts or are you awakening to thoughts given to us from a higher source? I’ll give you simple examples. As a child you acquire the knowledge to put letters together to form a word. The words are put together to form a phrase and phrases are put together to form a sentence. These sentences form a paragraph, paragraphs form a page and pages form a chapter and eventually chapters form a story or novel. Does the child create the letters to form the words to build a story or did the child become aware of what already existed. You may have walked past several pieces of art and never noticed them. Then one day you became aware of that artwork. You learn to appreciate the beauty of the art. It was already there until you became cognoscente of its existence. I know these are simple analogies but they reinforce the theory that there are no original thoughts. We still quote and embellish what scholars wrote eons ago. “Originality is undetected plagiarism”, was quoted by William Inge years ago!” -Pg. 50

“By evolving and trusting your feelings and discovering your authentic self (expression of love)—we realize simply that there are only two choices. To either experience love or fear. The more complex our world appears the more we value the simple things. Enjoyment comes from the pure recognition that everything is either an expression of or a request for love. When one simplifies and evolves, one acquires the knowledge of the fascinating phenomenon: “Is the world changing or is my perception of the world changing?”. ..…”I have learned to appreciate the great individuals who preceded me. I also recognize that I can only appreciate or see in others what I possess. This is why I find another of Voltaire’s statement so valuable: “Appreciation is a wonderful thing, it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” As I awaken, by opening my mind or tuning in my receiver, in an attempt to understand our universe, I realize how limited my thoughts are—and I become more gracious and humble to the wonderment of our universe! I have evolved to recognize that if I see the world of separation (fear), it will lead me to isolation and illnesses, but if I see the world of oneness (love), I experience improvements in my health, relationships, business and more joy in my life”. -Pg. 51

“If we believe we are spiritual entities and acknowledge that we are on this planet for a very short time, why not enjoy the human experience? The experience of feeling, emotions, how imaginative our mind works, respecting how polarity affects the rhythms of our life and how our earth’s force field limits our movement and confines certain elements for our enjoyment.” -Pg. 52
