From The Book Expanding The Boundaries Of Self  Beyond The Limit Of Traditional Thought, Discovering The Magic Within

This technique, which I call Self Discovery Analysis, I developed for my personal use. After giving deep thought to the issues I believed were adversely affecting me, I began listing them; to my surprise, I discovered I had been carrying a backlog of issues, a load of baggage, relating to many uncomfortable and traumatic situations in my life, stemming from as far back as my childhood.

As I delved deeper and practiced my technique of SDA, I rapidly began expanding my self-awareness. This naturally improved my self-confidence, and I gained more of an understanding of self, which contributed to expanding my boundaries of understanding. Through this practice, I gained a far greater degree of awareness about the intimate, personal and infinite aspects of my being.

Philosophy is said to be the logic-based attempt to explain fundamental principles; it is among the highest forms of prayer. It has helped me formalize a set of rules and principles and a course of thought that invariably transcends and manifests in my personal life. I believe it is important that we commence living the philosophy in which we believe, for otherwise, it is only a theory. If our philosophy is not manifest in our lives, then it is not philosophy at all; instead it is nothing more than an idea or concept of what we believe our philosophy should be…

As I sat in my confused state at hearing this news, I wanted to explode with guilt at the thought that I had missed the opportunity of sharing those last few weeks, days, hours, minutes and moments with the man I so much loved. Thoughts of my relationship with him from youthful days ran through my mind like the designs and colors of a kaleidoscope. I remembered his wisdom when, in lieu of a spanking, he would always say: “My son, when you are spoken to by your mother, me or any adult, it is necessary that you listen to them and analyze what they are saying. It is necessary that you view their words from every angle to understand the wisdom they are trying to impart. In this life, if one has the capacity, one can learn from the wisdom of others rather than from the bitter consequences of one’s own irresponsible or careless action. In other words, if you cannot hear, you will feel.”

 All human beings have the inert power to utilize the light at their beck and call as often as required, for whatever reason it is needed and for whatever purpose they wish to use it. I started using this light many decades ago after in-depth study of the secrets embedded in the parables of the Bible. It was then that I discovered the essence in the secret of the light. In difficult times, particularly on occasions when I have been in distress, I used the light to transpose adverse things into unbelievably positive results. The use of the light is one of the closest ways we can reach our divinity by witnessing the manifestation of miracles, just from the outcomes of its application.…

 I remember quite clearly as a young child how disconcerting an experience it was to feel like an outcast. I was in total confusion between the experiences I was learning in this new life on earth and the memories I brought with me at birth. I remembered a life so different from this one that it made me feel as if I had been placed in a state of confinement. I had thoughts and impressions of another life where the experience was one of a state of infinite peace. It was so different from this dimension—more stable, more beautiful and more real. From this early age I felt as if I had been sent here to earth temporarily to learn some new experiences and gain some new information…

To think that we are told GOD made us in his own image! Somehow this conflicts with the concept of having a moderator in the form of organized clergy, subjugating and dominating a group of freethinking people into “flocks of sheep” who actually are the product, reflection and beauty of that very Godhead…
