THE SECRETS

You’ve always had a hard time finding your place in this world haven’t you, never knowing your true worth, never being satisfied that there is not a more significant content to life, nor happy with the way others have treated you? You felt that you were made for something better, something special (Paramount, 2008). Welcome, you are about to enter another world, discover what you spent your lifetime searching for and what you expected to emerge, but never did.

Its time to unlock your universe.

For the past twenty-five years we’ve been conducting a research project, mapping out life and the spiritual. You have heard of the Human Genome Project; the mapping out of all genes, cure cancer, leukemia? Well, similar to this, we’ve mapped out The Intangible World. That means if you can’t see it and it’s important we can show you what it looks like, where it’s at, how it works, how to manipulate it, and implement it into your life.

In one of his novels, Stephen King says:

after all, life doesn’t come with a map (King, 1998)!

Well, now it does.

We supply the maps, map books, and guide service that enable you to see, understand, and find your way around life. There is a whole world of intangible dynamics, hidden forces, and invisible potential waiting for us to understand, interact, and connect with it. These are unseen, however, and that’s where we have run amuck. Suppose that you were in a foreign country and you didn’t know your way around, didn’t speak the language, and had no idea where you were located in relation to what you needed. That is somewhat of how life has been for us. The part that is unseen is essential and comprises all that our lives are missing but can be attained—through the implementation of what we call the dynamics of The Intangible World. What our life is meant to be about waits us there. Meanwhile we have the precious time of our lives that slips away.

What do you make of being on earth?

Perhaps it is meant for you to accomplish something spectacular (Redfield, 1993),

something no one else could do.

You are here at this moment for a reason. Don’t underestimate the significance of your time on earth or the importance of your life. Existence (our business) is here to help you navigate through this unseen world and make the most of your life and time, here. People tend to drift through life and spend their time on activities that are irrelevant to their destiny. They fail to utilize dynamics such as purpose and forces such as powerful intention to get them where we are supposed to be going. Instead, random events and circumstances typically influence where they end up. They also interpret things in a physical sense, alone. In addition, others often try to defeat us and we are treated by them in undesirable ways that have failed to meet our needs or play the role that we felt they should and have let us down, hurt, diminished, or blocked us in the past. Something was supposed to emerge in and around us, but didn’t. Have you ever felt that a part of your life was missing? You knew that it was important, you just couldn’t see it, grasp what it was, or how it worked.

Just because you cannot see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there, or not everything that we are supposed to experience. We search for meaning, right? But what is meaning, how do you define meaning? Where can it be found, how does one understand how it works, and implement it into their life? How do you integrate meaning or differentiate it from other areas of life, such as: our purpose, significance, values, or destiny? All of these are important, but they are not all the same. Also, how can you know what it means to be you, if you don’t understand the elements that comprise your individual identity?

Most of us spend our entire life just trying to figure out who we are. We can show you that in a matter of minutes, along with why you behave the way you do, why others behave the way they do, and the significance of your past. The power, confidence, and insight that just this provides and the meaning in life that follows, is something that you will not want to miss. These are just a few of the many processes that will enable you to experience the life you have dreamed. It will also help you move forward in your meaningful progression. In addition, there was something that was supposed to happen, but never does. You’ve felt it your entire life. It is this feeling that brought you to God (If you are a Christian, you experience all of this too. In addition, you have a Christian life and something was supposed to happen there, also, but didn’t. You will find the secret to this mystery revealed in the Eleventh chapter entitled: My Spiritual Search, and in the Third chapter under Secret Spiritual Messages. For now, please accept the explanation that even though we become saved we remain human beings. As such we still feel, think, and live. It is how God designed us and is what we refer to as our life. You have a life and a spiritual life and these two are inseparable and we function and are influenced in both. How they work, integrate, and differentiate, and what it is that happens as opposed to what was supposed to take place in each of them, will unfold the further you read.). I saw a sign today that said: Puzzled? God has answers. Yes, he does, but do you know what they are?

Existence was founded by God

2.jpg

Have you ever tried to figure it out how it all works?

How long did you spend?

It started for me when I was a child. I noticed then that there was something wrong with the world, something terribly askew. I realized that there was this much larger, wonderful, and amazing content, discovery, and adventure to the world, which only children were aware of and experiencing. It became clear that it was existence and that we enter into the world interfaced with it. It is amazing, wondrous, and connected to a life with great substance, luster, and realization. It is all embodied in how we see children behaving in response to it. Unfortunately this response is perceived as childish behavior, which we are expected to give-up as sort of a right-of-passage to adulthood. Tragically this is followed by a departure from all that existence is and has to say to us and what we were meant to interact with, explore, and discover, the abandoning of what we sensed, felt, and experienced, and the surrendering of what we knew, could accomplish, and dreamed to be.

We are created to see and interact with creation

the way it was meant to be experienced.

We begin in life as it was supposed to be lived.

This gets interrupted, however, and life becomes, well, like it is today. You are about to discover what was supposed to happen and what you’ve longed to find. There is life beyond the physical, beyond that which has been going on around you. The problem is that it was undecipherable because it has been invisible, unordered, and lacking substance. We give substance to the invisible by giving it definition, explanation, and pictures or illustrations, and put it all together so it can be grasped and applied to our lives. We have each sought for this in the past and have felt it from time to time, but it has eluded us. Then, because of the immediacy of life demands and the physical nature of our surroundings, we have lost our way. Our past itself holds a mystery that is waiting to be solved.

Meanwhile life feels so insignificant and out of our control, like

we’re watching a movie and are powerless to do anything about it.

It is time to move forward in the life we were meant to live.

The world, our identity, and the meaning of it have all been disregarded or misunderstood, because we have not been able to interpret it and have attempted to understand it in a physical sense, alone. That is because the presence of the physical is so large, apparent, and obvious that it appears to be all there is, but it only appears that way. The physical is also so demanding that we soon get caught up in it, with our minds off of anything else. What it is we are doing here and are alive for gets pushed to the side (Redfield), until we have forgotten about it altogether. We have been unable to interpret the things about life that we cannot see, but are nevertheless important. Wouldn’t you agree, for instance, that to accomplish what you were put here to do and become who you were meant to be are two of the most important things for us to achieve in the time we have been given? How are you doing in these endeavors? There is direction, purpose, and power in life that is waiting for us in existence that we’ve never been able to find in the physical realm. You need only be connected to it and you will see the phenomena begin. It is meant to be a process that is time sensitive.

You are here at this moment in history for a reason.

Are you ready to begin?

In truth, we were meant to stay connected to existence as a child and our life was supposed to continue on from there, in the direction we were headed and the person we were becoming. You’ve always known and felt that haven’t you? Unfortunately you were expected to abandon all that you were experiencing along with what you had dreamed to do and be, and become someone else. You were relegated to who you were told to be and a reality you were expected to embrace. The world lost its luster and magic, the same day you lost your power and identity in it.

I observed this happening at an early age

and resolving it became my purpose.

You have a purpose, too, and it waits along with all of the other exciting

dynamics on your journey, here.

3.jpg

All my life I have searched for what comprises existence; only when I found it I didn’t know how to tell you, I didn’t even know where to find you. I’ve sat here night after night, thinking about you, wondering what to do. Finally I decided to put it in this book, hoping that you would find it, trusting that you would understand one thing above all else: I care about you, I always have. I saw that someone needed to devote their entire lifetime to this quest so no one else would have to and so that is what I did. It has been my life’s calling (have you felt life calling you to do something?). Then, twenty-five years ago, I received the calling of God to begin a daily research project into this pursuit. The findings have been fantastic.

Do you want to know what has been happening?

Are you ready for some answers?

I’m not sure where to begin. Let me start where it all began for me, when I was little. I saw existence. It was this big and incredible world that was filled with content of an amazing nature, avenues of powerful potential, and untold mysteries waiting for an answer. As a child I was filled with wonder and excited to be alive in such a place. I was experiencing all of these fantastic sensations, certain of my abilities and direction in the world, and envisioning what I could accomplish and someday be. I was interacting with the world around me and with God (I felt him there). I was exploring, discovering, and anticipating all that was going to be revealed. Then I saw the departure from this place that children were making. It was this exodus from existence and all that it was about—to embrace only the physical portion of the world. I couldn’t believe it and it became a dilemma. I saw at that time that there was much more to the world than anyone was realizing.

What happens to us? We abandon existence and all that it is about. Consequently, we forget how amazing it is to be alive and that our life is supposed to be about something spectacular. We lose confidence in ourselves, what it is we are supposed to be doing, and in our own abilities and dreams. We also get disconnected from the process of learning and forward movement that was set in motion for us by God (God created us in his own image)—through our curious nature, inquisitive intellect, and the process of exploration and discovery that was supposed to reveal things to us and lead us where we were meant to go. In addition, we lose our place in the universe and the importance of ourselves, the awareness of so much…such as our individual make-up and what we can achieve, and the power of intention that would have lead us toward our dreams. Furthermore, we felt and knew things about the world, God, and ourselves that were very instrumental in our interactions with our surroundings.

Do you remember?

5.jpg

It was once so magical.

4.jpg

We had all of these wonderful sensations, experiences, and ambitions that were meant to take us to that amazing place, accomplishment, and destiny that we always knew was out there and dreamed to find. We knew certain things to be true and they were once so real, exciting, and important to us, but we’ve forgotten most of that, now, and abandoned what it was about. Our inner child has gone inside because it is not safe to come out and play anymore. It was also not okay for us to be who we really were or to continue to experience the world as this magical place. Instead, we were expected to give up our former outlook, beliefs, and dreams and accept a mundane reality. We were also supposed to be who we were told, embrace mature physical values, and act all grown up and so that is what we did.

Is it any wonder that we feel discontent, disconnected, confused, and displaced; lacking direction, excitement, challenge, and achievement in life? The world was no longer amazing and our presence here went from spectacular—to normal. Life stopped being fun and our individual will, meaning, significance, and direction were all taken away; leaving us feeling lost, insignificant, and empty. Life stopped being an adventure. So we became bored, restless, and disillusioned. We began feeling that something was missing and started searching for what it was. There is another thing that occurs to us from an early age that is very unsettling, unpleasant, and detrimental. We often get treated by others in undesirable ways that we do not want, deserve, or understand. We will explain all of these things, which leave us feeling frustrated, restless, and searching in life.

MYSTERY

Our life is lacking adventure, excitement, intrigue, and answers.

So we seek for them in the physical.

We feel drawn to the unknown, supernatural, or adventurous. Why? It is because we feel relegated to a life that feels ordinary and filled with boredom, and a future that appears uneventful. So we are intrigued and attracted to that which holds excitement, mystery, or adventure, because we have failed to find them in our search. So we begin looking elsewhere. Yet in this pursuit we often gain only surface information, answers, and contentment, and sometimes end-up where we didn’t really mean to go. Our lives have been lived much like that. We are not sure how to get what we truly want or need, because we cannot see or identify it. We are also stuck in the real movement that we wish to make, stopped in our meaningful progression. In addition, we lack interest, challenge, stimulation, and discovery. Not because it isn’t there, but because we haven’t been able to notice, experience, or move into it. Yet when we are connected with existence, life becomes an adventure and our spirituality turns into a journey.

6.jpg

If you are a Christian then you will be intrigued to find that not only does this information have tremendous application to life, but also the Christian life and reveals secrets about how it works, along with the spiritual world, which we call: The World of Spiritual Vision. Both of these worlds are somewhat like looking at one of those pictures that has another picture for you to see, and once you do it becomes clear and you see it in a whole new way with a different view. Nevertheless, no matter how long you stare at it, you cannot see it. So it has been for us in the past. We keep looking at life and spirituality, knowing that they are about more. Sometimes we feel like we’re right there, and it is about to come into view, but then it’s gone. Even so, we see glimpses of parts of it throughout our life and Christianity that are absolutely amazing or miraculous, and we are certain that it is about something spectacular if we could only grasp it. It is just a matter of seeing it in a different way The Seventh manuscript helps reveal this new process.

There is a place that does not exist on any map.

It is an existence beyond your dreams, where angels dwell.

Here life is supernatural because you are interacting with a supernatural being. The miraculous, divine intervention, and the direction of God is a way of life here. It is real and a theme throughout Scripture which we have read but have been unable to experience. We have been experiencing it, here, these many years, because we have learned to see and interact with it. It is unimaginable. If that is what you desire, it is only a breath away. It must be experienced as an individual phenomenon, and old truth must take on new meaning. In addition, as you have noticed, our experience in the spiritual or religious world has also not been what we have expected, and it felt there, too, like something was missing.

The world you desire as a Christian will emerge. For now we will focus on the other one, which we call The Intangible World. The applications for Christians are enormous. Why is this true, because all truth is connected in a most miraculous way and when you grasp it, power comes within your reach. Yes, you may have your major focus on God. Yet you also live, and the dynamics in your life are important to understand, because they integrate with the rest of your life. Also, if we have a physical Christianity it will focus on physical things, the order of the physical world, and the things we associate with religion, but lack a living spirituality. In addition, the power for the Christian goes beyond what others can tap into (nevertheless we are going to focus on life for now and let the rest emerge as it comes along)].

When we live with the assumption that we have no power in life to control what happens to us, we develop a philosophy that what we do doesn’t matter. Thus we cannot achieve our goals, realize our dreams, attain happiness in life accomplishment, nor affect significant change—either in our lives or the world around us. Consequently we adopt a life style that feels blocked and settles for what pleasure we can derive along the way, and our lives become, well, as they are today.

The question for us is: what is our world meant to be about?

The answer to this mystery will unfold within these pages.

Are you ready to plunge down the rabbit hole (Wachowski, 1999)? I must warn you that what you will see can become disorienting, at times alarming, and will likely result in life change. New areas will begin opening up and revelations of an unexpected, phenomenal, and sometimes bizarre nature—are about to emerge. As awareness increases, your life will take on new dimension. At first, the realizations will feel like the pleasant waves of insight washing over you with new information about life that hadn’t occurred to you before. At some point they will become a tsunami of life shaking awareness.

Revealed in this manuscript you will begin to see:

• The codification of human behavior.

• The integration of all pertinent life and spiritual truth.

• The synthesis of psychological and Biblical principles.

• The frame-of-life reference that gives us direction.

• The mystery of hidden truth and what it has to tell us.

In this next hour you will experience:

• The primary interface.

• The content and magic that you felt in childhood.

• Sensations that lay dormant that you were designed to utilize.

• Gaps in knowledge and in your own life—being filled.

• Doors that lead to where you always dreamed of going and the keys that unlock them.

You know what it is like to walk through a door, but do you know how it feels when it is a new dimension you are entering?

7.jpg

The life that you dream of living waits and these truths can take you there. It is the place that we sense inside…the missing part of us that we feel. It is what our existence is meant to be about, and has been there all along. To see it, however, it takes the opening of a door, the turning of a key. The doors, like their keys can only be found by you in the context of your individual life.

There are many doors,

but only one leads to another world (Lewis, 1949).

To get there you must come through each of the nine doors that are found in the First Manuscript, sequentially, first one door–then the next, until you arrive at a totally new existence (Redfield, 1993). There you will find the doors open nine of life’s ten basic areas, and in each–another dimension that is waiting to emerge. You will know when you have gone through a door…and have come out the other side. You will sense it. It is a sensation of wonder and amazement. It is the realization that this area of life is about something new and different from anything you’ve ever experienced. Life in that area becomes exciting and adventurous, full of things you’ve never been able to see before.

It is your journey, and this manuscript will take you there, to the place that you have been searching for all of your life. The book that you are currently reading is a picture of existence in sort of a snap-shot view. It is also an introduction to our project, organization, and what we offer. Our main body of work consists of Twelve Insights that are contained in three manuscripts, which we call: The Insight Trilogy.

8a.jpg 8b.jpg 8c.jpg

The first manuscript consists of the intangible dynamics that define and direct us. The Second reveals the inner sensations and hidden forces that motivate us and drive circumstances and events in our lives. The Third Manuscript shows the invisible world of perspective, interactions, potentials and splendor that surrounds us as God sees it, and means for us to experience it. There are three parts to existence. Each manuscript describes a part. It is a process, like our connection to it.

The first manuscript has already been released. I must apologize that we have not quite finished the other two. What has captivated our attention is a new project that is fascinating us and has become our next set of manuscripts. It is called: The Insights Application and it is amazing. It is the emergence of all these intangible concepts and how they work in our lives. For an explanation and look at it, go to the Eighth chapter and see it for yourself. What has become clear and has impressed us time and time again is that when God does something it turns out miraculous, and when it is the underlying truth—the revelations are unending, phenomenal, and profound.

Existence is the larger context within which our physical lives take place. The physical world is only a part of existence and it is the least significant. As we grow up, however, we learn to base our life on what we see going on around us, like everyone else. We give up our journey and adventure in the world…as we adopt a physical perspective, values, and limitations. The physical world has a system of operation, which has its own life script. Existence is also a system, much larger and more significant that leads to the amazing truth, beauty, and potential that is meant to emerge within and around us. However, these parts cannot be seen, but are intangible.

What am I talking about? There are all of these invisible dynamics that our life is supposed to be about, such as: purpose, identity, and meaning that are meant to define our world and set everything in order. This is a part of existence! The physical world that we embrace lacks such things. That is why our lives have felt the way they do. We lose our individual place and power, and live in the role of observers—looking out on the world as spectators, feeling dissatisfied and powerless to change things, even who we are and the course of our very lives. We feel displaced, empty, restless, and inhibited…forced to ignore our true identity, what we feel going on inside, and what we believe our potential and future to really be…expected to act a part—instead of embracing the role that we were meant to play.

Once we move through all 10 Doors and gain a frame-of-life reference, we are able to transcend surface level values and paradigms, and are truly free to experience an astonishing life on the second level–The Higher Side. From there you can transition into a world that you cannot imagine. The First book is what opens the doors for us. This moves us toward the Tenth Door, which enables us to discover a new way to live, such as: seeing the world in a new way, finding a new way to resolve our problems, adding new traits, seeking our energy and motivation in a new way.

The Tenth is transformational while the Eleventh and Twelfth passages are interactive as is this one. In these manuscripts you will be asked to do things and experience sensations and related revelations that can only be communicated through the feeling that is conveyed by what it is you will be doing, along with the accompanying realization. Let’s try it right now and we will attempt to show you what we mean. Please hold your breath for as long as you can, as you read on, starting right now. Are you holding it? If not, please do so, so you can get what is attempting to be communicated, here. Our time on earth is so precious, and our lives so significant, but they are fragile and short. We only have one opportunity and this is it. Are you living your life the way you sense it should be? You have the chance, now, to get it right.

The third manuscript comes to tell us of the astounding parts of life and spirituality around us that we have yet to experience! In its absence we focus on the physical and miss the miraculous and phenomena in the world around us and in our own life. We get off track and life becomes the way it is today. We are in a world of wonder and potential, waiting to be discovered, tapped into, and result in its powerful emergence. Isn’t it our curious nature and exploration that is meant to take us to what attracts our attention, what we are supposed to interact with, figure out, and follow to where it leads? Yet how can we get there if we cannot see, understand, and move in it?

9.jpg

Because we cannot see the territory within which our life is meant to take place, we are unable to grasp how it works, or the way in which to move. Consequently we feel displaced, confused, and stuck in life, but cannot comprehend how it is that we are stopped or the way in which to free ourselves. We are not able to sum up what it is that’s happening, or how to move forward. We are unable to indentify the content, or apply it to a frame-of-life reference that enables us to interact with it and the most essential part of our life to take place. Consequently, what we could be doing, the advancement that we should make, and the place it was meant to have—never occurs. We are unable to access or reference it, but we sense that it is there and is significant.

IMAGINE BEING LOST

What if you were in a jungle? Let’s compare this to The Intangible World, and you didn’t know where you were-that’s orientation, you didn’t know how to get from where you are, to where you wanted to go-that’s fame-of-reference, you didn’t understand what you were seeing-this is context, nor what it was about-that is content. You need all this in order to make your way in the Physical World. The same is true in The Intangible World.

What we are talking about are things that we take for granted—in relation to finding our way around. Let’s conduct a thought experiment (this is what Einstein often did and how he finally solved the question of how gravity works). Please pretend that your eyes are closed and picture black nothingness all around you. Now, how are you going to get around, how can you see or understand what there is, how can you comprehend where you are in relation to everything else, or how to get to where it is you want to go if you could figure out what it is about and how to move? This has been the intangible world—up till now. Please close your eyes and imagine this and then open them, again, and look around.

Understanding what you see around you—is content. How it all fits together—is context. Your relationship to it—is orientation. How to get from where you are to where it is you want to go—is frame-of-reference. In life, it is frame-of-life reference. Actually getting there requires direction and a course to take, but first we had to say: okay…this is a path, that is movement, here is progression, there is pursuit, that is perspective, this is purpose, and here is the process to understand and accomplish the reason for which we were born.

Without doing this in relation to the physical, we couldn’t get around, or accomplish anything. This is especially true with invisible concepts. You know what a path is and maps are, and what movement is and doors are, but at one time you didn’t. It was a process of investigating, inquiry, and discovery that brought you to this understanding and moved you on to where you could go. That is what has been missing in life, which we have been doing with the intangible in our project. Identifying the dynamics, processes, path, doors, areas of life, and how it all works, which serves as a map. Isn’t that even more important than in the physical? If you don’t think so, now, some day you will. There will be a time when everything else is insignificant, except what we are talking about right now. Otherwise, what are we surviving for? Our doors and maps take you to where you really want to go. Yes, you have to physically live, but what are you living for? This is the bigger question that demands action, but what is it that we are supposed to be doing?

We fail to identify our purpose and mission, for instance, and miss the role of powerful intention, and how it fits and differs from drives, emotion, feelings, interests, desire, abilities, gifts, and talents. Some of these are sensations, all of them play a role in motivation, but they are each different. Yet they have a cumulative affect that we are currently lacking. Unless we understand their individual and collective roles, they will not take us to where we are meant to be going and truly want to end-up. If this seems confusing, so did the names of states or countries that you had to memorize once. Then you looked at an atlas or traveled there with a map and you learned what they were about, and perhaps saw how to get around there, or at least how they are all connected. Now you need only bring them up in your mind to reference them and utilize them as you wish. The same is true of invisible concepts in The Intangible World.

Our lives, as they are currently lived, are typically influenced by what awaits us on our daily schedule. Who we are and what we are doing here, in relation to our presence on earth, is a topic that we seldom address and which our lives are not typically in tune. Most people tend to live sort of random lives as they wake each morning to the things and people, interactions and occurrences, and thoughts and feelings that the day brings, and over and over attempt to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the meaning of it all, for instance. They tend to drift, lacking direction, realization, and perspective of how it all works. They assume that life is about what they see going on around them. They assume that to live constitutes what their life is supposed to be, that they already on their path, and that their future is their destiny. Yet this is not case, but it has been difficult because there has not been a context to address it.

Our lives tend to feel out of our control and circumstances seem ominous, leaving us in situations that appear larger than anything we can touch and are often not what we had intended. Consequently, we are compelled to take the role of observer in life, because the physical world does not respond to our will. At the same time, we gratify ourselves, which does not really fulfill or get us what we truly want. Yet here is the strangest part of it all. In our pursuit of gratification we can typically accomplish whatever we wish. The question for us is: why can’t we do that in relation to life fulfillment?

Haven’t you found your former life and spiritual experiences

to be incomplete and lacking?

Hasn’t it seemed like there was something spectacular missing,

but you just couldn’t put your finger on it?

This territory is exciting, but challenging to explain until you have travelled it. I physically live in what was once the Western frontier. All around are signs of the 49ers who came here in search of gold, to strike it rich, or settlers who arrived seeking land and a new life. I walked the ground that Lewis and Clark traversed on their epic journey to map out this uncharted territory and felt much like they must have in my quest to map out The Intangible World. Yet I can no more explain to you how beautiful and breath-taking it is, anymore than they could when they returned and attempted to give an account of all they had seen and encountered. You will know when you arrive, here. Trips are like that aren’t they? You travel somewhere and see and experience something great and unique, but it defies all attempts to convey it.
