I love Rumi's Little Book of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit. It's wonderful and here is one of my favorite poems. "There are two intellects! One is acquired from teachers and books, from repetition and sciences, granting a sense of superiority yet the effort to sustain it becomes a great burden. It ends just as the water supply coming from outside a house stops once the source has dried up. The other intellect is God's gift. With a fountainhead in the heart of Spirit the water of knowledge bubbling from within can never become stagnant or old. Seek that fountain within yourself!" (pg. 32, Rumi's Little Book of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit) I have this little book, 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, by Deng Ming-Dao. A wonderful little book of insight and inspiration. The other day I came across this one, "Modest," and had to share it. "Modesty Have you ever had a knot in your shoelace? You have to bend down to untie it. Difficulties in life confront us all; people respond in their own way to adversity. Some succumb, some grow boisterous. Some marshal their determination, some respond with trickery. All too often hardship will mow a person down. When confronted with difficulty, those who follow Tao respond with modesty: They conform to the situation. They bow before it, and they concentrate upon it until they find a solution. They do not apply undue force; neither do they acquiesce meekly to fate. They examine the situation and carefully undo it. In the same way you bend down to untie a knot in your shoelace, they bend down to find guidance. Even modesty can become an error if we become meek and insecure. Some people become so humble that they become self-defeating. They are talented but their personalities are so split that they cannot achieve their potential. Therefore, there must be limits even on modesty. It works. Like anything else, it must be applied in the right manner." (pg. 269, 365 Tao, Daily Meditations, Deng Ming-Dao) Long time ago on a TV series about angel encounters, I saw an episode I never forgot. I tried to find that series and, particularly that episode, for a long time and somehow, finally, "stumbled" upon it on YouTube. It's an amazing story, as all the others were in that TV series. Watch.
I joined a Facebook women's empowerment book. Many of the women have overcome tough challenges, have created better lives for themselves and written about it as a way to help and inspire others. Sarah is one of those ladies. I am so impressed.

Revised Edition of The Workings of Energy in the Human Energy Field: A Psychic's Perspective8/19/2017
In 2011 I wrote The Workings of Energy in the Human Energy Field: A Psychic's Perspective. It was an urgent effort to let my clients know how I work and let the world know how energy operated in the human energy field. Without a doubt this is the most important knowledge you could have! The concept is simple, however applying the knowledge is really challenging mostly because we are so used to thinking a certain way and doing things a certain way and believing things we've always believed. That original work was super short, and really, it does not need to be long to explain the basics of how energy operates. However, as the years passed I felt I could sharpen it up and round out that original writing. I reorganized a lot of the material, added new chapters and filled out certain information. I am satisfied with this edition and will not be revising it again. It is incredible how much work it is to write a small book. It seems no amount of editing by myself and a bunch of editors is enough. I have friends who I have encouraged to write more books and they always hesitate and now I know why. Even a tiny work can take a year to bring out to the public. The new edition is currently available in eBook format -- that you can download in the Shop -- and will be available as an audio book and a print book in about two weeks. I recommend all new clients read The Workings of Energy in the Human Energy Field before their session. It's a great way to prepare for the session and assure that you get the most out of your session. It's short and an easy read, yet very valuable. So, I highly recommend it. |
