Anita your answer to my question is profound yet simple and the content of your answer is a HUGE asset for me that surely will help. Yesterday I took your advice and here is what happened. I decided to lay down for 20 minutes and relax my body and mind. I practiced my breathing exercises. At some point, I don’t know when that was, I went into what I call my trance dance. I felt that my body was no longer present. As I began to notice this, it felt like the distance between my fingers were miles apart. Then I recall asking myself, when was the last time I took a breath? Anita I cannot describe the peacefulness I felt. Even better, when I decided to “wake up” and get my day going, it was 1 1/2 hours later! When I opened my eyes, colors were more vivid, sound was more clear and gentle, feeling was more defined for lack of a better word. I swear you are not of this world Anita. In a good way. Thank you from my heart and soul.
The book, if you have not already read it, that I highly recommend is called Power vs Force by Davis Hawkins. When I read it I wondered why it took me seemingly forever to find it. This book explores the true nature of power, which comes purely from the spirit, in the purest form. Force, on the other hand, is what we believe to be equal to power, which is not true. It is power over people. One person has said, and I wholeheartedly agree, that force is on a material level, and is so constantly needed to be justified and backed up with rhetoric. Power never needs justification. Anita I have had this book for about 10 years and I read it over and over and each time it is like it is a new book. It has helped me IMMENSELY in that it has, and continues to recalibrate my mind and spirit in how I look at things and my life as well. I highly recommend reading it to you and all members here.
Thank you for your time and thoughts. I appreciate them immensely.
In light,
Pearce
