PART ONE:

THE GREAT

UNIVERSAL

LAWS OF LIFE

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what you are doing on this planet? Why are you here? What is your purpose? The answer is simply TO EVOLVE, TO GROW. We are here to grow as individuals and grow collectively.

As manifestations of Universal Energy, as living things, once we stop growing, we die. Look around you - flowers and trees, birds and insects, plants and animals of every kind are growing and expressing themselves as living things. Once they stop, they die. As human beings, full expression of our growth happens on a soul level. The seed of the Divine Life Force is planted in the soul of every human being, thus, our sole purpose is our soul purpose!

In every religion, the fundamental truths are LOVE and FAITH. Being human, we become entangled in our problems, complicating our lives, throwing ourselves off the path and losing touch with these two simple truths. Jesus taught us that unconditional love for ourselves and for each other is the light that will keep our vision clear, allowing us to clearly see our path in life.

Once a human being has learned to love himself and others unconditionally, he will have mastered the material world and found inner peace and true fulfillment. We are all manifestations of Gods pure love and energy.

Remember that the earth itself is a living entity. In Quantum Theory, we are tied to the earth and to each other on a cellular level. Physicists have known for many years that energy is indestructible and boundless. Our individual energy field, or life force, is interchangeable with everything and everyone around us, just as other fields interact with ours. In taking personal responsibility for our spiritual growth, we contribute to the growth of others and to the growth and harmony of our own planet. Each of us must take responsibility for purifying himself on every level - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Only in this way are we able to contribute to the harmony that is a critical element in our individual and collective prosperity.

Throughout this book, you will be given tools that will help you become MASTER OF YOUR LIFE. As you develop faith and love of yourself, you will radiate a powerful, positive energy that will transform everyone and everything around you. The chain of humanity is only as strong as its weakest link - do your part to give it strength.

As I am sure you are well aware, our world is in chaos. The pharmaceutical companies are thriving, hospitals, prisons and mental hospitals are overcrowded, crime and human atrocities are at an all-time high. There is an angst that permeates the planet. It is being absorbed by each of us and it affects each of us on a cellular level. We feel overpowered, saturated with negativity and utterly helpless to do anything about our own state of affairs, let alone the state of the world. You must take your eyes off what is happening outside of you and take a moment to look inward.

I know you are telling yourself It sounds so easy, but I find it very difficult to look inside myself. I am afraid of what I might find. This fear has been programmed in your subconscious mind from past experiences on the material level, from your parents and from society in general. The point is, it has been programmed and has undermined the state of bliss that we are born into naturally - the supreme happiness that is our birthright. The universe creates us in happiness and love. If we have lost that state for whatever reason, we can find it again. IT IS OUR NATURAL STATE TO BE HAPPY AND TO GROW BY VIRTUE OF BEING ALIVE.

Do not be afraid to look inside yourself - you will find your inner power (which we will refer as your inner God from now on). Only by finding Him and befriending Him will you have all the strength you will need to accomplish what it is you desire, become master of your own life.

NOW you are living the most precious moment of all and the future depends on what you think or do NOW. Whatever happened in the past to cause you to feel unhappy and unfulfilled now, leave it in the past but learn from it. Then is then and now is now .

Within each of us is the seed of the Divine, of Gods love and perfection. It need only be acknowledged, nurtured and allowed to grow until its beauty radiates and touches everything and everyone around you. You have a direct line to all that is good and pure - an umbilical cord to the Universal Source. By the time you reach the end of this book, you will become comfortable and familiar with your inner God, your source.
