    About this ebook

    We are all here on earth to learn and have experience through this game called life. One of the biggest lessons that most of us on the planet have to learn is one of unconditional acceptance and love of self. The myths of Karma, Hell and punishment unknowingly keeps us from attaining that unconditional acceptance. They are myths that need to be dispelled if we are to every live in harmony on earth.

    In this ebook, I use proven modern scientific concepts to show the ideas of karma, hell and punishment can not be a logical conclusion to living our lives based on some type of punishment or retribution in from our past deeds or after we die.

    In order to understand why bad things can happen to good people takes an empowering paradigm shift. Life does not simply happen to you. You are a powerful and creative force that should enjoy life and all it has to offer.

    How does fate, destiny and free will play into all of this? Those questions and more are answered in this book.

    The ideas old paradigms are based on fear and control are are keeping you in a vibration range that limits your possibilities and life experiences.

    I am a Certified Cryptocurrency Specialist, autodidactic, and a certified teacher that is passionate about education. I believe everyone is born with a gift and a superpower that makes them special. My superpower is the ability to take complex information and break it down in a simple way for others to understand. There is no greater feeling for me to watch the "I got it look" come over the face of someone i'm teaching.Did you grow up before the internet? Me too!My latest book is in the investing industry of cryptocurrency. If you are looking to get in on the equivalent of investing in the internet just before it went big, then cryptocurrency is the place to be. The problem for the industry is that technical geeks and financial analyst can't explain what they are doing for people not familiar with their perspective industries.I am a technical writer that gets the information from the geeks and translate it to regular English that everyone else can understand.

      Karma is not as you have been taught

      This ebook is to put forth one idea that can aid you in your quest for personal transformation and transcendence. It will be one that will challenge you to make a paradigm shift. I define a paradigm shift as a change in perspective that changes your perception about your world and your experience of it. Any change or transformation requires a shift in perspective. Once you shift the perspective you have the ability to create a totally new experience. The average person believes that once they see change then they will change. But what most do not recognize is that ALL change occurs from within first and then the world you see reflects that which is within you. Your definitions/beliefs about the events within your in your world is what creates your experience of it. I will go a little more in detail later on in the book about this idea.

      You have heard it stated by many that what you put out is what you get back. If you are able to comprehend and apply that simple idea you will empower yourself immensely. I believe one of the biggest lessons that humanity has to learn is to find unconditional acceptance of self. Unfortunately we have so many belief systems the really keep us from achieving that. We in turn jump over the idea of gaining unconditional love for self to the more lofty ideal of giving unconditional love for the world. This is a contradiction in so many belief systems. The belief that we can give to the world something that we can’t even do for our individual self.

      Contradictions disempower you

      Ideas like karma, going to heaven or hell have built in mechanisms that keep us from ever finding unconditional acceptance and love of self. We have these definitions/beliefs ingrained in us at a very young age. They are steeped in so much contradiction that we are unable to recognize it because we are taught not to examine the ideas. If we did examine the doctrines and teaching they would unravel. We are told from a young age things like we should not question God, or to just believe on faith. This then becomes belief system that does not work for us as individuals and a society as a whole and we wonder why we can have a
