Advance Praise for Live Your Bliss
Few people on the planet are more clear, more aware, more conscious, or more wonderfully insightful than Terry Cole-Whittaker. Her wisdom and her gentle, joyful guidance changed my life and they can change yours as well, right from the pages of this book. I cant imagine any teacher in the world whose writings I would more emphatically encourage you to read.
Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God
Live Your Bliss delivers profound truths in a very accessible manner. Its high time that more attention be focused on bliss, which Terry rightly describes as the intrinsic nature of every soul. Terry is a wise woman who has written the most important book of her life. Anyone who has experienced her energy and enthusiasm in person will want to read this book. Anyone who hasnt should read this book, and then make a point of seeing her live or listening to her recordings. Live Your Bliss is a must-add to your personal growth library.
Steven Halpern, award-winning composer, recording artist, and pioneering sound healer
Terry is a master of manifestation. She teaches us not only how to give, but also how to receive with the grace that allows others the honor of being able to give and receive and continue the cycle. She teaches us how to create and allow our creations to continue to create for us and for others in a way that no one else has seemed to be able to communicate so clearly, so purely, and so effectively. If there were just one book to pick up this year on manifesting your dreams, this is that book.
Dr. Eric Pearl, author of the international bestseller The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself
In this wonderful book, Terry Cole-Whittaker offers a bountiful harvest of rich spiritual truth. She helps us to realize the profound significance of every thought we think, every mood we indulge in, and every sound we utter. Terry takes us on a powerful journey of the heart in which we come to understand the role each of us plays in creating the life and the world we long to live in, the one perfectly designed to help us live in happiness, fulfillment, and bliss.

I dedicate this book to my spiritual teacher Haridas Sastriji Maharaja Babaji with deep gratitude for all that he has given me, beyond what I could ever repay.
I must also include my granddaughters, Austin Francis Wiesehan and Ahren Rose Wiesehan, in hopes that these two precious souls will learn the spiritual truths contained in this book and become eternally blissful and prosperous in every way.
Contents
E veryone wants to be happy, and this desire to obtain happiness is the motivation behind our every action even if our actions prove to bring us unhappiness instead. The problem is that unless we know how to be happy, we will become frustrated in our attempts and what was first a joy can turn sour and become a source of disappointment and heartache. I know, because this is what happened to me for most of my life. Things finally changed when I was given and started applying the wonderful knowledge that I share with you in this book.
We really can be happy all the time when we understand the art and science of being blissful and why it is essential. After all, it is the most natural way of living, and it also helps others toward becoming happy and prosperous. The world has been in a sad and mad state because we have been sad and mad not the other way around. Most people believe that what is happening in their relationships, finances, career, and health causes their emotions. They live on a roller coaster of emotions and, over time, become jaded and cynical, thinking that there is no possibility for real and lasting love, prosperity, or pleasure. The knowledge that I want to share with you is that the outer world is a manifestation of our inner state of consciousness including our thoughts, desires, and feelings.
Especially now, we need to be as happy as we possibly can because something wonderful is coming our way, something that is dependent upon our doing our part. Doing our part means simply being ourselves. We are bliss personified. The happier we are, the better we feel and the more fortunate we become in every area of our lives. It is essential for each one of us to learn to access our divine, blissful nature, and then to express that nature through every decision and relationship as we move into this most auspicious time. Our happy state of mind and emotions will save the planet and bring forth the Golden Age. There is nothing to fear about the personal and global transitions that are taking place. The old is falling away as the new world is in the process of being born. We are the midwives, using our state of consciousness to aid this manifestation and transformation of the world.
Unknowingly, most of the people have been creating all the miserable conditions in the world simply by their fear and lack-based thoughts and negative emotions. They have no idea who they are as spiritual beings or the amazing creative and mystic powers they possess. All that is happening, including the corruption, war, starvation, terrorism, and other upheavals on our planet are simply a mirror reflection of our combined internal imbalance and unhappiness. I know this doesnt fit with what we have been taught to believe is true, but true it is.
