Since we’re making it all up, why not
imagine pleasant things… and choose to be
happy and peaceful?
Preface
This booklet briefly describes and summarizes a “new” direction… a seemingly new path I “discovered” and chose to follow a few years ago. (While much of what I encountered on this road seemed new to me, I now realize that for thousands of years certain other people — many of whom are viewed as some of the great “teachers” in human history: prophets, avatars, Saints, mystics, philosophers and theologians — have chosen to travel the very same path.) I wrote this guide in an effort to respond to inquiries I have received from people about how I got from “where I was” to “where I am.” Some of my friends and acquaintances still can’t imagine how I could change in what seems to be such a completely fundamental way, how things that used to seem so important to me, now seem so very insignificant, and how certain things to which I used to pay little attention are now the central focus of my life.
I’ve incorporated the following Brief Guide to “Getting Started” as an appendix to my third book, Our Joy Is Within — The Miracle of the Present Moment. Due to the positive responses I received when I asked various people to review the short manuscript for this guide, I’ve decided to produce it as a separate booklet I intend to make widely available to those people who might be interested in considering some seemingly “new” ideas and concepts about furthering (or possibly accelerating) their Spiritual awakening. (You’ll likely notice I’m totally convinced all of us already know everything in this [or any other similar] book, but I believe most of us have forgotten much of what, within the deepest recesses of our Being, we already know. I view our efforts to help one another remember what is ultimately true as a fundamental purpose [shared by everyone] for our existence in this physical, temporal realm.)
It’s my sincere hope you will find something within the following pages you perceive as being valuable and beneficial for you and your life. I invite you to consider the possibility there is a way, a path you can travel that will take you much more directly to where you say you want to go. I’m certain you’ll (eventually) get to wherever you might be headed (as will everyone else — and, in fact, we’re all headed to precisely the same “place,” whether we consciously realize it or not). The road I’ve selected to follow might not be the same road you choose; but simply by considering the possibility there just might be a more direct path, one with less frustration, less turmoil and less emotional pain than you’re now experiencing…. By genuinely considering this possibility, you can bring to your conscious awareness some insights and helpful information you might not have noticed previously.
Thank you for reading this booklet. Please share these concepts and ideas — this suggested “plan of action” — with anyone you know whom you believe might benefit from considering the possibility that there’s another way they could choose look at themselves… and their world.
