PART I

9781452550879_TXT.pdf

Day 1

In all things hold yourself true

And listen to your inner voice.

The thoughts you are thinking are not the true thoughts of love and peace which are your birthright.

Underneath the toil and activity of your day is a stillness within. Seek the way inward and you will find who you really are.

This book will help you achieve this state. It is up to you to continue its work.

Be vigilant about your thoughts, observe them, be loving toward them and let them go.

There is a new universe within you which only you can find. No book can take you there nor tell you what is there, it is only your experience which will teach you.

Each has his own path on the soul’s journey back to its source of love.

Enjoy the ride.

Day 2

Your magnificence as a being is beyond compare. You hold the entire universe in your mind and heart. Your mind can be your friend or foe in case you have not figured that out yet. When you use the expression, I am of two minds, there is a deep knowledge within of which you are not even consciously aware.

Your mind is split between the habituated thought patterns that you have layered upon yourself from the time you could think, from what you learned from your parents, from school, friends, from society and the other mind.

The other mind is your true self, your true being. It has always been there. It is your unique energy signature but it is the part of you that is always connected to God. You hear this part of your mind talking to you when you watch a sunrise in awe, you hear this part of mind when you meet someone as if it is a coincidence, you hear this part of your mind, connected to something greater than you when you are at peace, sitting in a meadow, a church, a concert and you feel that all is well. This is a feeling you would like to have all the time.

But the first mind, the habituated mind, sometimes gets in the way of what we will call open mind. The habituated mind is full of details and worries, what ifs and what to do next. The habituated mind listens to the outside world and reacts to it. The habituated mind tells you that you will not do anything with your life, that you are ordinary and not good enough, that others are wiser, smarter, more handsome, thinner.

The habituated mind is an illusion, a fabrication of your thinking which comes from a distorted view of who you think you should be. As said before it originates in what others think about you and who you should be. And being the social animal that you are, you have complied.

However, this is not the truth about you.

The truth only lies within. In fact, you won’t get it from a book. You will get it from going within yourself, from listening for the tiny stream that connects to the larger river of the universe, the river of God, so to speak. How do I do this? you say. I live a hectic life, always going from place to place. I barely have time to sleep. And we say, you can slow down at any time you choose: in your car, on the bus or train, on the way to a meeting, in the quiet of a quick shower or a luxurious bath. You can slow down enough to listen to your open mind. It is always best if you can set aside time to go within, to meditate or reflect. But that is often not
