That there is an invisible, formless intelligence making life possible, running your mind, and ensuring a built-in resilience to any and all challenges is such good news. But is it hopeful speculation? Read this book and you will come away convinced that you are equipped to handle any hurricane. Its not easy to describe and explain the invisible, yet Joe does it with clarity and simplicity. Absorb his words. Let the knowledge in this book sink in and you will discover the extraordinary, ordinary powers inside your own mind.

Sandra Krot, human relations consultant at Insight Principles, Inc., and coauthor of Invisible Power: Insight Principl es at Work

A thought-provoking great read that takes you on a journey of stories, examples that may at times seem a bit too simple, but we are continually pointed to the truth. In a world of such uncertainty, this is a brilliant companion of a book to help you roll with the changes and improve your experience in living your best life with much less effort. That calm in the storm that resides within us all is a fantastic navigation tool back to calmness.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my mentor of many decades, Syd ney Banks.

This ordinary man had a profound transformational experience in 1973 that led to a paradigm shift in psychology and many other fields of study. Syds talks, books, and recordings developed into what is now known as Three Principles Psychology. His students and mentees have taken their own transformations into many professions, helping thousands of people experience deep change in their lives. This book is one of hundreds written about this paradigm shift. I am grateful to Sydney, whose awakening trigger ed my own.

In deepest gratitude,
Jos eph Bailey
