Introduction

I never expected what happened one ordinary day to set things into motion in my life and lead me to where I am today.

Thirty years ago, I had this completely unexpected and unusual encounter. I was at a gift shop in Reston, Virginia, looking for a gift for a friend. It was a lazy, sunny afternoon, so I went shopping for fun. Just as the day seemed slow, the customers in the shop were few, and I felt relaxed enough to just… ponder. As I browsed through some blank greeting cards to add to my gift, a well-dressed elderly lady approached me and started talking.

She didn’t say Hi or introduce herself. She just looked me in the eye and said, Lately, these days, I’ve encountered nothing but negative experiences. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

This dumbfounded me as she continued on and on about her problems. I was thinking, Why is she talking to me? She approached me as if I had some crucial answers for her. Her auburn hair was tied in a sophisticated bun, and her stylish burgundy eyeglasses looked custom-made. She was probably in her late sixties and could be one of my neighbors, but she wasn’t. She wore a summer kaftan dress, and her blue eyes had dark circles like she hadn’t slept well.

When she finally finished talking, she searched my face. She anxiously said, Why do you think I’m experiencing all this unfortunate stuff?

I looked at her, this stranger fresh out of the blue, completely puzzled by her sincere question. Yet, for some strange reason, I remained utterly calm as I gazed into her eyes with a smile. Then I started speaking as if channeling words from some absolute wisdom, and I ended by blurting out, Sometimes stuff just happens! I gave her a reassuring smile as if we now shared a lifelong secret.

Before I walked away, something prodded me to add, How about… trying to do something randomly nice… to someone—whomever it might be—and see if your situation improves?

She paused, nodded, and remained perfectly still for probably ten seconds. Her eyes gazed out into the distance, and then she began to nod again as if absorbing what I had said at a more profound level. Finally, she placed her hand on my arm, and then, just as purposefully as she had walked up to me, she hurriedly left the store as if on an urgent mission.

This unusual encounter stayed with me for a long time. A stranger suddenly popped into my reality and engaged me with a highly personal question, fully expecting me to give her the perfect answer. For days and weeks after, I couldn’t get the strange encounter out of my head. For the first time, I discovered that a deeper part of me saw the bigger picture and knew precisely what to say.

Even though I didn’t know why, I felt it was ordained that I met this woman. Yet, where did my spontaneous answer come from? Why did I have such clarity? How was I able to put into words such apparent wisdom? I mulled on this for weeks, repeatedly thinking I could tap into this intuition or inner guidance again. But one thing was for sure—I had just accessed a part of some extraordinary database that was thrilling! At night, before I went to sleep, I thought, This must be some unexplored power. I have to find out more about it.

As the months and years passed, I experienced such inner knowings more frequently. Sometimes the answers were spontaneously supplied outside my usual thinking. I gra-

dually realized I had some latent superpower that I could tap into. Gradually and with increasing clarity, I learned more about this subtle reservoir of knowledge. I came to think of it as my thought companion. It became my guide in making important decisions and navigating stressful situations, and it frequently showed me an alternative perspective on whatever was happening. What I liked most was that it seemed to have a superior sense of humor! Later, I eventually understood this superpower is within each of us. And that’s what this book is all about.

About This Book

Our current era of challenge and change has caused many of us to question our core beliefs and consider new ways of looking at life and ourselves. We increasingly hear about mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and the value of meditation. Yet, beneath these outer practices is our own personal knowing, our innate (however latent) power. As I explored my innermost potential, I realized my most significant obstacle in life was how I saw myself.

I had never been able to get beyond my limited perception of myself for my entire life. Yet as I increasingly attempted to tap into my superpower, I began to learn how to overcome my subconscious resistance to being my best and potentially unlimited Self. This powerful discovery process began by realizing there were two of me: (1) my rational and societally conditioned personality; and (2) my inspired, heroic, and loving unlimited-Self.

This unlimited-Self resides in our expanded consciousness—an invisible, nonjudgmental, and totally inspired part of us that guides us toward everything we seek. It is the more significant part of who we are, coexisting with our physical life. Making this expanded identity shift is the jumping-off point, the essence of successful life transitions (and even midlife challenges!).

This book offers sixteen metaphysical tools to access and maintain your superpower by applying the powers of intention, visualization, focus, allowing, and understanding the natural law of manifestation. You’ll learn about your unlimited-Self as your most awesome fan, your BFF (best friend forever), your most inspired guide and companion, and your personal GPS! No matter how long you may have looked at life as a series of challenges, reading this book and identifying your superpower will help you pivot from your old reality. Eventually, you’ll see how your contrasting life experiences have actually guided you toward sharpening your deepest desires and pointed you toward your desired outcomes. The book you have in your hands will help you understand how you can access and use your most essential gift.

This book is about taking your power back—by exploring physics, metaphysics, and spirituality. It’s also about chewing gum—how to chew on these visionary ideas without letting mental resistance (doubt, judgments, and limiting beliefs) get in the way.

Today’s world is in transition, waiting for the twenty-first century You. It just may be that this book can help the superpowered You create that new world.

Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote this book because of a deep desire to share what I have learned from my superpower and how it has helped me with my life choices in such measurable ways. This superpower has deepened my enjoyment of life, no matter the outer circumstances. Through the years, I have spoken with many who have experienced similar guidance from within. I know I’m not alone.

This inner connection is like channeling thoughts from a broader and more profound dimension. The downloads I received were stronger amidst the turmoil of world events and the pandemic that started in 2019. I look forward to connecting with like-minded people who are also embracing their superpowers and creating new chapters in their lives (hopefully contributing to a collective new chapter in our anxious world).

I continue to be a student of life. The material herewith synthesizes my life journey and what I have learned from the heroic paths of many teachers of truth. This book intends to help individuals become aware of their expanded consciousness, explore their greatest hidden gift, and learn to cocreate with that superpower their dream life and their life’s dream.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is not for everyone. It contains leading-edge concepts about new and empowering ways of thinking—primarily about how you see yourself. My messages may be new, bold, and even shocking to some of you. A new perspective can be a little unsettling. It may even be upsetting, especially when the book starts with reframing one’s beliefs. This book is for those who know there is more to life than just surviving and are ready to embrace a journey to greater understanding, positive energy, and far deeper fulfillment.

Some may be looking for tangible proof, an age-old challenge in presenting new ideas with old-school language. Your mind may ask the people-pleasers’ proverbial question, What will they say? But I encourage you to relax, suspend your intellectual resistance, and trust your still inner voice, allowing a journey of expansion that the unlimited part of you may have been longing for, for a very long time. Watch for your ego to dig in its heels via intellectual doubts and programmed beliefs. For doubters, here’s the bottom line: Instead of demanding intellectual proof, the evidence will appear in your life experience (as it has been mine). 

If you want to become a twenty-first-century citizen, this book may be for you. The world is in transition, and a new world needs a new you.

This book is not for everyone. It contains new and empowering ways of thinking. 

How to Read This Book

For this book to be most beneficial to you, it must be read from front to back, starting with chapter one. This book is not for book skimmers, because discovering your superpower requires an expanded perspective which can only be achieved progressively as you digest and absorb each chapter. In other words, going to Part III or the how to tools section hoping to get the superpower formula right away is like blindly taking a pill for an intended result without knowing the ingredients. 

Reframing your beliefs to serve you better requires a new foundation. As you practice the tools and techniques in this book, you will get to know your unlimited-Self and feel genuinely empowered. I have included a few appendices at the end for those who might like to learn more.

Ideally, find some quiet time to read this. Put up your feet and relax. Welcome some new thoughts… Thoughts that might change your life!
