There was a popular book out some time back called
“The Secret”. It framed some ideas that
had actually been quite widely dispersed for many years in a new contemporary
“Hollywood” suit of clothes. This is not
saying anything against The Secret – it frames its message with an “Indiana
Jones” ancient hidden treasure mystery motif that communicated very useful
concepts to a great number of people who might otherwise never have considered
any of these ideas. Nonetheless, there
was never any real “secret” involved.
People like James Allen and Napoleon Hill had been teaching the same
ideas for nearly a century. Since the
1960’s there has been a constantly expanding awareness of these concepts. More recently, the teachings of Abraham along
with friends Esther and Jerry Hicks actually were the inspiration for much of
“The Secret”. The difference here, in
this book, is that we are a little more like Toto pulling back the curtain on the
Wonderful Wizard of OZ.
Some may jump to the conclusion that when Toto
pulled back the curtain and exposed the Wizard to be a man feverishly working
the controls for all of his magical special effects that somehow diminished his
power. Not so quick because the lesson
here is all about BELIEF. Each of the
characters already had what they were seeking but it was the Wizard who got
them to accept it with the magic of belief.
Part of the secret is that you can create anything you want with enough
belief and we will provide you with some magic ideas to help you claim your
inherent power.
The ideas in this book are presented in a step by
step manner to build the logic. The book will hopefully fill in gaps in your
understanding of what your life is all about and give you specific insights on
how to develop your innate powers. The
ultimate objective is that through your personal development, you will become
part of a community of people intentionally, positively transforming the
reality of the world. We can
intentionally transform the reality of the world but first it will help if you
know more about what you are doing here and why you may at times feel
overwhelmed by the “reality” that seems to be your life.
Whether you are high or low in life, ideas in
these pages will give you the perspective to help you get more out of
everything you do. While I am going to
possibly offer you a unique perspective, none of the ideas or formulas in this
book are new. They are time tested and
have been proven by individuals like you over and over again. I also think you will find that the ideas
“feel” right. Because of how energy and
the cosmos work, I think it is safe to say that you would not be reading this
now if it was not meant for you. The
words will mean different things to different people and what you do with this
knowledge is of course totally up to you.
The inspirations found by different people will vary based on mood and
where they are on their personal evolutionary path. Consider the concepts presented here and
decide for yourself how they can benefit you.
Just as I don’t think you are reading this by
accident, a short time after finishing the first re-write of this book, I came
across a book by Hank Wesselman called The
Bowl of Light. The book recounts
discussions with a highly respected Hawaiian teacher and healer, Hale
Kealohalani Makua, who, as Mr. Wesselman states at the beginning of the book,
“entrusted me with his spiritual knowledge and who encouraged me to bring it to
a wider world.” Makua was a modern day
Shaman and direct descendent of a long line of Hawaiian Spiritual leaders. Wesselman’s book is an amazingly insightful
book filled with valuable knowledge if you are determined to make a big step in
your personal evolution of consciousness (which is your real mission in life in
case you have not realized that yet).
The truly exciting element for me was that all of the knowing that were
expressed from the Makua’s wisdom tradition are a powerful validation of the
story told by this book from a place far away in time and space and
culture. Reading it, while the metaphors
differed, you will find no contradictions, only further illumination of the
ideas. I highly recommend reading The Bowl of Light as your next book.
I believe, as is stated in Hank Wesselman’s book,
that we are entering the “Sixth Level of Reality” which Makua stated began in
2013 in one of his talks with Hank. We
have evolved through levels of pure survival to levels of ever increasing
Spiritual awareness. Gradually through
thousands of years, we have gained awareness of our true nature as the shapers
of our own and Creations’ future path.
From Wesselman’s book, “You see,” Makua said, his
dark eyes gazing deeply into the far distance, “it is at the sixth level that
we really begin to establish an ongoing and formal connection with ‘Aumakua,
our Higher Self, and when we do, we find something that is very important. This is when we discover ‘Aumakua, our
personal god-self, was, is, and forever will be our true teacher in
spirit. This is why we will never find a
better teacher than ourselves.” Makua
went on to say concerning this next cycle of existence, “This means that we
have to create a new foundation for the next cycle, and what we decide to build
on this will determine the spiritual focus as well as our lifeways for much of
the next several thousand years.”
Social conditioning is ever more pervasive and
powerful as the Technology Age grows dramatically opening communication between
all members of our world community. We
are bombarded each day with opinions and information claiming to define
reality. As we will discuss in these
pages, whatever we accept to be true will become true for each of us. We must recognize that we are in
control. We must refuse to believe in
and accept “realities” that we don’t want.
That is why big social changes often take generations to happen. The old beliefs must slowly fall out of favor
to allow new ones to emerge as newer actors on the stage of life form their own
viewpoint. That’s the REALITY we need to
know: we are each charge in control of
our own destiny even if at time it does not seem like it. We have the ability to create, through our
own imaging, new realities that eventually become the new and improved story
lines for the adventure of life.
The main goal of this book is to provide you with
the awareness that you have been cast to play a crucial part in moving the
physical world in toward a new and more enlightened, joy filled reality. I believe we are entering a new age as
indicated by Makua. I believe it is very
important that each of us take responsibility NOW for our personal evolution
and thus the social and Spiritual evolution of the world we live in. This is not a burden; it is a glorious quest,
an adventure of mythical proportion.
This is why I am suggesting the analogy that your
life can be lived as a glorious adventure game – a courageous quest to wield
your innate creative power to shape an ever more magnificent and love filled
world of beauty and personal satisfaction.
It is an adventure game and we are at the stage where we need to move
past a primary focus on the physical dimension.
Yes, there will continue to be more wonderful scientific and
technological developments but the real playing field has moved to a higher level. You are now on a quest to engage with your
higher self – that greater part of you that is infinite and all knowing – the
God part of you. Don’t get caught up in
religious terms – those are only analogies often incorrectly portraying
reality. This is about energy and
learning how to be a conduit for the infinite creative power and knowledge that
is your true nature.
Teaching that is the intent of this book. My hope is that the words have been chosen
and placed in a manner that seeds of awareness will be planted. That you may have flashes of inspiration or
maybe just confirmation of concepts you have already considered. We have the power to transform reality and
the better we get at transforming it in line with our hopes and dreams, the
more joy and love and fun we will have in each of our life experiences. That’s the real objective our role in the
game – make the world a more carefree and loving place – everything else is
just scenery.
Shakespeare’s line, “All the world is a stage and
all the men and women are merely players”, is more than mere metaphor. A part of your consciousness is likely going
to rebel to this idea but we are going to elaborate – you live in a world of
illusions where what you think of as reality is simply the result of conditioned
perception and the consensus of opinion of groups of individuals. You have decided on the
components of your personal “reality”.
There is no right or wrong, good or bad in your life accept as you
decide it. It doesn’t matter what anyone
else does or thinks, you totally control your own reality – you live in a world
significantly different from any of your friends or relatives or co-workers, or
anyone else for that matter. Your
reality is unique. It shares components
of the reality of others – things that you have decided to agree upon like
gravity and linear time and the basic scenery surrounding you through commonly
accepted life activities. The important
point is that everything is based on your choices - 100% control is yours to
wield – you can be deliberate about your future or simply be reactionary.
