Truth: our success in life is most heavily influenced by what we allow ourselves to think and believe, not by circumstances or conditions as we often assume.
As a society, our notions of existence, of God (if you believe), of ourselves as physical beings, and of what success is, are distorted. We perpetuate the lie that personal success has to do with "achieving". We are taught that in pursuing wealth and financial security or popularity and acceptance, we will become okay - when in fact it has the opposite effect. We place our trust in (worship) acquiring things, to be okay, to fill the emptiness inside, and give us a sense of security (money possessions, romance, acceptance, information - personal power), and as we either achieve or fail to reach our goals with these things, we are quietly (subconsciously) perplexed that they do not work.
Our existence as a species, our identity, is one of the most important topics we could learn about, and yet it is so perplexing that most of us avoid thinking about it altogether. Every fear, every one of our destructive behaviors, all self-doubt, vanity, guilt, or emotional problems we have - all greed, pride, selfishness, violence, and misuse of sexuality, is directly tied to what we think and believe. An inner dialog of fear, unworthiness, abandonment, or shame can translate to debilitating defeat, because it's not just thoughts and beliefs that paralyze a person, but changes in the blood chemistry throughout the entire body, within every cell.
For you and I everything boils down to what we allow or disallow to shape our reality. This is where the ultimate use of free will occurs.
This book explores truths, and some subtle but major misconceptions about existence, about who or what God is, about the principles that guide our universe, about humans in relation to all of it - and about perfect love. It looks at what science, psychology, and the Bible actually say about us, in contrast to the common notion's society projects.
What do you long for?
- Do you want to feel complete and filled with purpose?
- Would you like to live a balanced life, and have healthy relationships (with yourself, with others, and with money)?
- Do you want serenity, peace of spirit, mental and physical health?
- Do you want to love others well, and feel loved?
There remains today a fog of deception across society that keeps us from clearly seeing the truth. My intention is to shine light on it, to show people some things they are not aware of, and how knowing it can make all the difference between being okay, and not being okay.
