    About this ebook

    This book will help you understand your thinking. You are never broken inside; you just need to take yourself, your thinking, and your life less seriously. There is a divine wisdom always present and waiting for you to listen to it. There is no one — and I mean no one — wiser than you and me. We all have available to us this wisdom that is ready and willing to help you to be safe, to be happy, and to live a most fulfilling life. There is really nothing for you to do except read and watch for a lovely feeling to develop inside of you. This feeling is with you from birth; it is your ever-present inner energy of psychological well-being. Most of us cannot experience this inner spark of well-being because we have learned to think of ourselves as inadequate. The words in this book are meant to take you back to the gentle feeling of peaceful contentment and love for self and others. Relax, and see if you can find your way back to yourself, your inner home inside of you. You need not look anywhere other than inside yourself to find all that you truly want and need. It doesn't matter what your life looks like now; you are capable of turning it around into a heavenly life while here on this Earth.

    I live in Canada. This is where my husband Rae and I have raised our two daughters; they are our absolute pride and joy in life. Along with a career in nursing, I received my B.A. in psychology at the University of Manitoba. I have also undertaken the study of developing an understanding of the three principles of mind, consciousness, and thought. This understanding has enhanced my life immeasurably. Following a workplace head injury and depression, I went through a long climb back to health. I learned of an ever-present, inner psychological health that I have always had and just needed to understand once again. The result of this knowledge has led me to a life of peace, contentment, and love. I hope this book will lead you to a similar place.

      How the three principles helped me write a book when I felt it was impossible, for me, to write a book

      I thought that writing a book was for those people who were smarter than me, who were more educated than me, and who had more interesting stories to tell. It turns out that when I embraced the three principles of understanding, I could see for myself that no one is wiser than me and no one is wiser than you either. This inner wisdom that we all have allows me and also you to do anything that we truly want to do.

      By truly accepting this truth that anything is possible, I had a chance to throw the doors wide open and just see what I might want to do in this precious life of mine. As I saw that we are all energy in form and formlessness, it made sense to me that on a small scale I was the same energy that everything is made of. Everything is made of energy and energy forms to create mass. On the bigger and biggest scale, I am the same energy that makes up the entire universe.

      When you realize that you and the whole universe are flowing together, you know that this divine energy that is out there is also inside of you. This understanding gave me a whole new view of myself and others. It occurred to me that I needed to be true to myself and become as magnificent in my life as I felt and knew I was inwardly in spirit or energy. While I’m in this form, it feels like bringing this energy out to play. With the form and the formless combined, the possibilities are endless.

      I felt strongly that the experiences shown to me by magnificent universal wisdom needed to change my life and be shared with others so that they too could move on to live their most rich lives. The rich life I am speaking of is one of tapping into your inner energy which exudes a well-being that is peaceful, loving, and free of any fear.

      I was showered with this peaceful, loving energy when I took a dip into what seemed to me to maybe be death, and at that time it freed me of my body, my mass, and my being here on Earth. This experience showed me the place where my spirit goes when I leave my body behind. I almost stayed there because I was so free to soar and flow endlessly in that energy. I felt the complete contentment of the energy of love and peace that is our spirit. Then, quite freely, I chose to return to my place on Earth in energy and mass and, yes, love and contentment too.

      The energy that flows in us when we are humans is our ride to freedom to be and do anything, while in this body form, that we so choose to do. There is nothing to fear in this life. Not even in death, as I have seen, is there any fear. This death that we speak of and often fear is just a shift in energy where we are no longer contained in our body. Our spirit then takes us to a place of bliss. This is not so bad; in fact, it is splendidly magnificent.

      I had to learn to take myself much less seriously after this experience. This brought me to the realization that I am totally free to let go of any thoughts that I don’t feel are in alignment with the truly divine being that I am, as we all are.

      I no longer had to be stuck in the idea that I was a shy introvert who had little to say to the world. This thinking was not true; it was limited to a square box type of thinking that led to a narrow path of existence for me. My new truth is that I am completely free to be who I choose to be from moment to moment in this present life of mine. No longer does anyone else get to say who or what I am.

      People are free to say what they like about me, but what they have to say is of no concern and has no consequences for me. It is a whole new inside-out thinking that brings me to my own truths in which a very desirable existence is to be had. I have no more opinions and judgments that I meet people with.

      Then, being totally human, I may have the experience of completely forgetting this newfound existence and taking my thinking to lack of confidence and lack of inner peace until I remember the human experience of thought is all just made up and then lived out. Recalling this takes me back to the peaceful, nice feeling of just living in the moment with nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. Simply enjoy the moment and do the things that need to be done, one thing at a time.
