Honest! *Smile*- Great Book. Changed my life also. Thanks for posting. Quoting: Don Shimoda 13904473 I've given this book away many times. Cheers Great "handle"! I love that such a cheap little paperback could contain such wisdom. It's still available in most bookstores for about $8 dollars! Amazing little book. Thank you.

Honest! *Smile*- excellent book. the story is understood when considered with the principle of 'trying'. we try and try to live, survive, gain, prevent loss, protect, save, attack, create, destroy, know, forget,find entertainment, be stimulated, be happy, ... we want love, fame, fortune, praise, challenge, competetion, debate, mystery, intrigue, entertainment, stimulation, attachment, children, parents, relationships... all of the above is why we are still here..clinging. to let go of these things is terrifying... to let go of these things is the next stage of evolution the result of letting go is nirvana...it is 'to be'. and nothing else...it is bliss and happiness beyond anything else ever experienced. It is better than the best sex, it is better than the best acheivement...and it is CONTINUAL...NOT MOMENTARY LIKE THE FEELINGS GRANTED IN THE EXPERIENCES ABOVE. and miracles follow anyone that lets go. ..... but who shall let go of their precious.... their precious ego... |

Yes! People expect deep advanced spiritual ideas to come from famous people writing huge, complicated books that really say gobbledygook. I love that the real knowledge comes from a little cheap paperback that most consider as a child's book. We are beings that love to play! *smile* Peace |

Honest! *Smile*- Great Thread ~ the source of Truth is everywhere We get the powers over us that we've earned collectively. Humanity, as a whole, is self-interested, shallow, ignorant, violent and immoral; small wonder, therefore, that our leaders (secret or otherwise) reflect that. You want better leaders, become better people. I forgive myself, I Love myself, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, I forgive you, I love you, Thank you. God Bless You; I Bless You; Bless Yourself(~). Love is the answer ~ Peace be with You. |

Not especially. I would say that the strange things happening are because you are not viewing this reality differently. I believe certainly manifest our reality, so your change of view may be changing your world around you. Also, there are other beings that notice your change also... I never said the world got easier after your view changed, only your view of it. Peace |
