- Isis shares that centering oneself through breathwork can help one maintain balance and harmony amid life's changes and difficulties. This allows one to deal with challenges in a balanced way and avoid feeling scattered.
- Connecting to one's guardian angels through centering gives them permission to come closer and support one in all moments, not just times of need.
- As the Earth removes layers of toxicity, sightings of spirits, visitors from other worlds, fairies and elves may become more visible to those with fewer layers themselves. One should not fear the changes but see them as opportunities.
The document provides quotes and snippets from the book "The Top 10 Things Dead People Want to Tell You" by Mike Dooley. It shares insights and messages that the dead would want to convey to the living, including that: 1) life is meant to be lived to the fullest without regret; 2) everything that happens serves a purpose and love overcomes all; 3) we are divine beings capable of directing our lives through our thoughts and intentions. The document emphasizes living joyfully and not being limited by past experiences or societal expectations.
The document discusses the importance of passion in life. It argues that without passion, life has no meaning and value. God did not intend for us to just get by in life or postpone living fully. We should instead take risks, learn from our mistakes, and live life to the fullest. Passion is what determines how alive we feel and allows us to truly taste the joy of living in each moment. Those who lack passion feel happiness comes from external factors like promotions or money, but truly happy people are happy regardless of their circumstances. We should pursue our goals and meaningful challenges with passion and enthusiasm.
This document is from a workbook on renewing one's sense of purpose. It discusses how purpose can be eroded over time by discouragement and doubt. The seminar aims to help participants sharpen or renew their vision and purpose. It explores biblical figures like Abraham, David and Solomon, and examines symptoms of living without purpose like blaming others, withdrawal, and living in the past. Causes of a dead-end life are discussed like family problems, health issues, and unresolved failures. The document provides principles for embracing risk, taking responsibility, being honest with emotions, lifelong learning, relationships and spiritual strength.

This document provides an overview of the message and teachings of Maharaji regarding discovering inner peace and fulfillment through the techniques of Knowledge. In 3 sentences:
Maharaji introduces Knowledge as a practical way to experience the peace that exists within each person, rather than seeking it from outside circumstances. He explains that preparation is needed to rediscover the inner thirst for peace and understand that fulfilling it must come from within. The techniques of Knowledge then provide a way to focus attention inward and access the experience of joy, serenity, and fulfillment that already resides in each person's heart.
The newsletter discusses upcoming spiritual workshops in February, including spiritual iridology and psychic awareness courses.

Personal foundations will naturally vary depending on your circumstances. But they will always include core values, beliefs and highest life priorities supported by standards and behaviors that keep you strong, focused and effective.

Having rooted faith establishes hope and belief that can help one overcome difficulties and unlock doors to unknown opportunities.

All Deepak needs to do is choose a formula matching his desire and it will become reality.

Urban Woot (http://urbanwoot.com/) has commissioned a series of Salons, hosted at Blacks private members club in London. I was delighted to be invited to host the first one. I hosted a discussion around time. I've studied many personal development approaches and I found Zimbardo's work on our orientation to time (whether habitually we look back or forwards, or enjoy the moment) impactful. Urban Woot has a mission of living a joyful life in an urban environment - and for me having the balance of time perspectives has been a significant contributor to me living a joyful life!
“Every day, think as you wake up, ‘Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” ~ Dalai Lama
1. The document discusses the importance and benefits of forgiveness. It argues that forgiveness should form the foundation of human existence, especially for Christians, and is the highest form of love.
2. Forgiveness brings peace, happiness, and life's abundant blessings. It allows one to let go of resentment and hurtful thoughts in order to be free from pain.
3. True love requires forgiveness. Forgiving others, even in difficult situations like infidelity, benefits the person forgiving by restoring their peace of mind and reopening their heart to love. Forgiveness is a choice that allows one to move forward rather than stay stuck in the past.

SAY YES TO AN ABUNDANT LIFE BY SEEMA BRAIN OPENERSDeepak Kumar
A BOOK FOR THOSE WHO ARE READY TO LIVE A BIGGER, CLEARER, BROADER AND CAUSE DRIVEN LIFE. THIS BOOK GIVES YOU THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE INFINITE ABUNDANCE IN YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
This document discusses finding strength in times of weakness. It begins by noting that many people struggle with relationships, depression, addiction, and anxiety, as evidenced by the large self-help sections in bookstores. However, the key is realizing one's true identity in Christ - that through salvation, one has been delivered from earthly troubles. While current circumstances may seem impossible, God's word promises healing, provision, and redemption. The truth of God's word can overcome the lies of the enemy. By renewing one's mind with scripture and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, one can experience freedom from a polluted mind. Loving others until they ask about the reason for one's hope also allows natural sharing

I hope to have many feedbacks and comments from you
THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
The document discusses how to still the mind through meditation. It explains that when the mind becomes still through daily meditation practice, all desires and motions of the mind come to a stop. One achieves unity with the flow of life, which expresses as love. By removing the selfish relationship with the ego through meditation, only love remains. Meditation allows the higher Self to shine through and express divine love in all its ways.
It takes but the Spirit to connect with the Soul
& the Mind to be attuned to the Body. When a sense of permanence is lost by that which filled a valuable place, the loss requires a transformation that becomes the "Move into You".
The document summarizes 12 gifts that are part of "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall. The gifts include work, money, friends, learning, problems, family, laughter, dreams, giving, gratitude, a day, and love. Each gift is explained in 1-3 paragraphs with examples of how understanding and applying the gift can improve one's life. The overarching message is that these gifts, like life itself, should not be taken for granted or avoided but embraced to strengthen one's character.
This is a little note from me about what I believe the point of life is. It's helped me navigate some deep existential questions and I hope it helps you too.

6. What Is the Gift?
There are so many ways to talk about the Gift. Every day
I find a new way to think about the Gift and to express the
Gift. Life is the Gift. Consciousness is the Gift. The people in
your life are Gifts. It is all the Gift. Every circumstance that
you experience is a Gift, both the good ones and those in which
you think, “How can I ever get over this? How can I ever get
through this?” They’re all a Gift because they’re available for
us to take the opportunity to learn from them, to grow from
them, to transform, to be aware of our surroundings and how
we affect everyone and everything in our world.
— S O N I A P OW E R S
Everyone has a Gift to give. It’s the essence of who they are.
— JAC K C A N F I E L D
7. S H A J E N J OY A Z I Z AND D E M I A N L I C H T E N S T E I N
Throughout this book it is our intention to illuminate a fundamental
truth that so often goes unexplored: We each possess a unique Gift, a purpose
in life that always seeks to express itself. By uncovering, studying, nurturing,
and allowing the miracle of our Gifts to flourish, we have discovered
how we can experience joy, power, fulfillment, freedom, and uncondi-
tional love.
We know that you can, too.
This may sound like an extravagant promise, but we have seen the
power of this discovery in our own lives and in the lives of countless oth-
ers. This is what we hope to show you, not by introducing you to some
exotic practice, telling you to believe in a supreme being, or asking you to
simply repeat a magic phrase.
None of that is necessary.
In fact, you will be astonished at how simple it is to find the path
that will lead you to your true self, the place where your true Gift dwells.
Whether or not you know it, you already have the Gift. You don’t have to
search for it outside of yourself. It has been with you and within you for
your entire life, just as it has been a part of every person on the planet
since before the dawn of recorded history.
And yet even though the Gift is something we all share, your Gift is
also completely and exclusively specific to you.

8. DISCOVER THE GIFT
The Gift can be described in many ways: It’s your true nature, your
purpose and reason for being, your authentic self in harmony with the
universe, your passion, your highest vibration, your calling, the joy and
love you share with the world. What we mean by the Gift is finding,
identifying, and realizing the authentic you and then giving that Gift to
others. To live your life from that space, to discover your Gift, you must
journey into the depths of who you are: the unique and divine essence
incarnated on this planet as you. In fact, long before you picked up this
book, you were on that journey. Even though you may not have been
consciously aware of it, you have been diligently working to live your
Gift. You can’t help yourself.
It is why you are here.
Discover the Gift is a journey of self-understanding and self-appreciation
of that divine essence. So here is the “secret” before we even begin:
You are the Gift. The Gift is you.
Congratulations.
A great deal of attention in recent years has been focused on the law
of attraction. We believe it is also vital to recognize that there are other
equally important laws for personal growth that govern or affect our
existence—and, unfortunately in the past, have often been ignored. It
is our intention to show that all these universal principles need to work
together for a life of harmony and balance.
When we recognize the combination of forces at work in our lives,

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny—
he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered,
some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally—
you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The
whole intends to do something through you.

The first step we’d like to talk about is receptivity. It is about being
open to all possibilities and allowing yourself to grow in the direction
of those possibilities. Being receptive acknowledges that the universe is
always trying to teach us things and guide us. Receptivity begins with
learning how to listen to your own soul, your own inner source, and al-
lowing these insights to enter into your heart and mind. By holding a
receptive state of awareness, you harmonize with the vibration of that
which is trying to emerge. Your mind and heart can now register the mys-
tery and possibilities that are revealed.
When you are receptive, you allow miracles to happen. The truth
is that miracles are happening around us all the time, but we don’t al-
ways notice them because we are not always open to them. We are too
caught up in the drama of our life situation and it closes us off from the
beauty of meaningful experience. Being receptive allows you to see new
possibilities—new ways of being that hadn’t occurred to you before.
For Demian and me, being receptive relates directly back to the phone
call when we reconnected. Demian had asked me a crucial question:

10. DISCOVER THE GIFT
“Will you forgive me?” If either of us had not been open and recep-
tive to a new start, our lives would have continued to drift apart and we
wouldn’t be here, now, sharing our story with you.
When you are in this open state, your true essence, your true na-
ture, will begin to shine through. You will begin to see your Gifts. Clear
messages will come to you through multiple means. You may be expe-
riencing more coincidences in your life, or suddenly opportunities to
share your Gift begin to show up. When you discover your Gift, your
life changes. Your self-esteem flourishes because you can feel yourself
beginning to live the life you were meant to live. Your newfound joy
over who you are creates a vibrational presence. Your energy, commu-
nication, compassion, and understanding shift, allowing you to see the
world in new ways. Your opportunities have always been there, awaiting
your notice.
Opening ourselves to the possibility of possibility allowed the two of us to
reconnect after so many years apart. It allowed for compassion to emerge
and grow. Compassion came from being able to forgive. Receptivity to
forgiveness transformed our souls and unlocked new pathways to our
Gifts.
Endless Possibilities
Let us define possibility itself. If you take away every thing and you are
left with no thing, then what is possible? Any thing. So, it is in this place of
79
11. S H A J E N J OY A Z I Z AND D E M I A N L I C H T E N S T E I N
“every thing” and “no thing” that we engage possibility. Think of it this
way. You have a glass jar that is filled with pennies. By removing all the
pennies, you are left with empty space, but in that empty space you can
now deposit quarters or flowers or jewelry you craft with your child. The
possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
You are undoubtedly curious about the possibilities Discover the Gift
holds for you, and perhaps you are ready to jump right in. Or perhaps
you are still a little reticent to buy into what you may fear is the latest
fad. Practicing receptivity at this stage is just a way of opening yourself
to the concept that within you is something powerful and life giving, a
quality as unique to you as your DNA.
Opening yourself to the possibility of something powerful within
you can be a simple step. “Can be” are the key words here. A lot of times
we can change our lives simply by becoming aware of what we’re thinking
about, then thinking about something else. But it’s not always that easy.
Perhaps you have suffered so much in your life that you doubt whether
you were even meant to exist. Let us assure you that we know, without
an ounce of doubt, that you (yes, you) were created to experience joy,
contentment, and a sense of belonging. This does not imply that discov-
ering your Gift is an easy task, but allow yourself to give in a little and
let that last sentence resonate within you. It’s important to keep in mind
that receptivity implies and goes hand in hand with flexibility. It means
you are willing to abandon preconditions and expectations about who
and what you are. Receptivity is about openness, and flexibility is about
being fluid. When you are receptive and fluid, you are able to consider
80
12. DISCOVER THE GIFT
new potentialities around you, able to flow with the vibrational current
of the universe.
We have learned that we must not always be set on expecting things
to be a certain way. Rather, we know that great Gifts come in unexpected
packages.
What comes to you as you become receptive may seem at first mun-
dane, or even more than you can handle. But at this stage you do not need
to do anything more than acknowledge the thoughts, ideas, and impres-
sions that come to you when you’re practicing your breathing or reflecting
on what you are learning. See them, note them, and let them go. What
you notice could be as simple as the sound of windswept leaves, or the
stirring of your own spirit in need of your attention. No need to analyze
any of this now. Just remember to receive with flexibility. Expect to be
confused, excited, disappointed, or even surprised, and know that it is
okay. You’ve only just opened the door to discovering yourself in this
way, and it may take a little time before what you find comes together as a
whole.

DEMIAN LICHTENSTEIN: To release the shackles around my heart
and unchain the extraordinary miracle of my existence, I had to be open to
the possibility of experiencing my life as a Gift.

S U E M O RT E R : For someone who has never contemplated the idea that
there is a Gift in their experience, no matter what their experience is––
it’s a pretty scary place to be!
JAC K C A N F I E L D : Think of it this way: The sun has to shine. It’s the
nature of the sun to do that. It doesn’t withhold its shining. It doesn’t
shine to get feedback. It shines because that’s the sun’s nature. Our nature
is to love, to express ourselves, to give. Just like nature contains flowers
of many different varieties, we’re all different varieties of the God con-
sciousness manifested in physical form. Knowing that we come from that
and that we are returning to that, we can’t be anything less than that. We
are literally expressions of God.
H I S H O L I N E S S T H E DA L A I L A M A : To be harmonious, happier, peace-
ful as a community, that’s our goal. So in order to achieve that, I think
first it is very important to realize that every individual human being has
a responsibility to humanity.
M I C H A E L B E R NA R D B E C K W I T H : If an individual really wants to
discover their Gift, they have to ask, “What Gift is trying to emerge
and express itself through me? What power is trying to become con-
scious of itself as me?” Many people aren’t asking that question.
They’re just asking, “How can I avoid pain? How can I get more stuff ?
How can I fit into the society in which I’m living? How can I become
82
14. DISCOVER THE GIFT
successful?” Perhaps their model of success is something that has been
handed down to them by a high-tech, low-touch consumer-driven
society.
Others ask, “How can I become more myself ? How can I share my
Gifts? How can I activate my potential?” Those are the questions that
begin to activate the spiritual faculties within that allow you to hear the
inaudible and to see the invisible. By asking these questions you’re pull-
ing yourself out of the everyday world of mundane questions. Instead
you’re aware of an interior broadcast that’s always being given. We’re
guided not by the world, but by our hearts. We’re guided by our soul’s
desire to unfold.
NIURKA: Growing up, I remember feeling like I didn’t belong on this
planet. Like I was an anomaly. I felt so alone, and so disconnected, and
so sad. I knew inside that I was destined for more than what was then
showing up in my life. I just hadn’t trusted it before. Then that escalated
into feeling angry, which told me that something had to shift, something
had to change. I tuned in to that and realized I had to be receptive, and
to ask questions. I began my search from that space. I started asking,
“Who am I really? What’s my purpose here?” I also noticed that when
I asked disempowering questions, like “Why is this happening to me?”
I would feel pain. But when I asked higher-vibrational questions, like
“What am I grateful for? Who do I love? How can I serve?” then amaz-
ing opportunities were revealed.
