F irst I would like to thank Arthur and Annie for taking my discourses and helping me transform them into literature, and my wonderful teachers and students who eternally inspire me and humanity through their commitment to personal evolution.

For supporting my work, I thank Care2.com and The Huffington Post, as well as a multitude of publications throughout Latin America, where some of these discourses have already been published. I am, of course, grateful to Marc Allen and New World Library for their continued support, and Kristen Cashman for her careful polishing of this text.

Last but not least, infinite love and thanks to Her Majesty Elizabeth III (her informal title is Betchie the Bulldog) for her constant inspiration and joyful presence.

I n the face of economic insecurity and global change, structures are falling, leaving us feeling vulnerable and uncertain. We feel small and helpless before uncontrollable events: victim-consciousness abounds. Yet what if we really can make a difference by simply changing our perspective? What if we can shift to a lighter, more playful perception of life? I believe that the current state of unrest represents an opportunity for humanity to reach a new level of consciousness, which I call love-consciousness, and this book will give you the tools to realize that state of permanent peace and serenity in your own life.

Im here to share with you how I came to realize that things really arent that bad at all, that actually they are rather more fantastically wonderful than we have ever dreamed of. Its time to stop worrying and start creating a world worth living in, and its going to start with you. Yes, you! Dont think the state of the world is someone elses concern: its yours and yours alone. Because believe it or not, youre the one who is creating it.

In every moment, you have a choice. You can choose fear, or you can choose love. You can surrender to what is, or you can thrash against it. This book is about empowering you to choose love and joyfully surrender.

Modern pop culture is obsessed with makeovers. We are told to change our homes, wardrobes, faces, and thighs as often as we change our clothes. Considering this, it is amazing how resistant we are to internal change. Its time for a mind makeover! Inside our minds, we have a heaving jumble of worn-out old junk: subconscious ideas and opinions that have been out of fashion for longer than knickerbockers and bonnets. Its as if our minds are lost in the run-down comfort of a chintzy old sofa. It is frayed and covered in dust and stains, with the occasional flea, stale crumbs, and the odd bit of chewing gum stuck in its crevices, but it is familiar. Although it is falling apart and in desperate need of replacement, we have become accustomed to it. We have been sitting in it for so long that we dont even notice its strange odor.
