The team took a project that was pushing the envelope in many directions and brought it back into focus for all of you to at least be able to ponder.

Thanks to all of you, and thanks to the universe for entrusting me with The Knowledge!

Don, you are one beautiful, fantastic human being. I am overwhelmed by your new knowledge! I know your authenticity because I share your DNA. I have been privileged to walk this walk with you since Nov. 17, 2009. I know there is no way The Knowledge could have come to you other than the way you have experienced it. I watched you grow up; I know you. Your receipt of The Knowledge blows my mind, yet I believe you, unconditionally. Thanks for all you will be doing for the world. I know you are scared but the world needs this knowledge and it was delivered to you for a reason.

Sandy

A taste: Our thoughts; feelings; beliefs; and emotions are not generated in our brains. They surround us and have been placed into the existing universal consciousness by people that have come before us for us to utilize.

The world is about to embark on an amazing journey!

Before you read this book, please do the following exercise:

1. Find a small box, such as a ring box with a lid, and come back to the book. (If you just want to humor me, and make an imaginary overture to pretend that you have a box in front of you, do that.)

2. Open the box.

3. Place in the box all of your traditional values, religious teachings and beliefs, political beliefs, and any prejudices you may have accumulated (not just racial prejudice but prejudice of all kinds, such as prejudice against tattoos, social differences, sexual orientation, relationship differences, and ethnic and religious prejudice).

4. Put the lid back on the box.

5. Do not leave the box behind at any time. Take it with you to eat, take it on breaks, and take it home. These are your values and your traditional beliefs, and no oneincluding yours trulyhas the right to take any of those important thoughts from you at any time.

Now that you have safely put away your values and beliefs in the box, please think out of the box while you are reading this book . In fact, if at any time you feel I have taken you places you do not wish to go, open your box and take back whatever values or traditional thoughts you want, or need.

Your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and emotions, which you have stored safely in the box, belong to you; remember that is your past, not only your reality and your baggage but also your traditional learnings from years of programming.

The Knowledge, which I received on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009, at 6:24 a.m., also belongs to you. I am merely the vehicle that the universe is using to deliver it. You remain in complete control. I am merely sharing knowledge, powerful as it may be it is still up to you to determine if it fits comfortably into your life.

Only you can determine what you would like to accept and what you would like to leave in the box. As you will discover, everything else goes back into the universe for someone else to utilize. It is how it all works.

Let us begin our amazing journey together! Thank you for caring enough about the future of humanity and equally important your future, to continue reading.

I first met Don Saunders in a busy Las Vegas seminar room. Frankly, I didnt remember him when he reminded me of the time that he walked up to me, hugged me, and said, I think you might be one of them ! He later explained that he knew I would somehow help him get his message out to the world. Don is very tenacious. He signed up right then and there for my next workshop and showed up a week later in San Diego. Don had a different agenda than most attendees who are looking for answers. Don had his answers; he just wasnt sure how to present and distribute them. It isnt possible for someone to simply have a quick discussion with Don in a hallway and expect a complete explanation. To understand the importance and depth of what came to him one November morning, you really need some background. That is why he wrote this book. In fact, he says he had no choice. The Power of Knowing How Life Works is a unique book. Its Dons true-life story about his goals, dreams, conquests, disappointments, and discouraging end to a long, corporate career.
