BOOK LIGHTS: from “Peace and Plenty: Finding Your Path to Financial Serenity” by Sarah Ban Breathnach

Misery is, by her own nature, a passing phase of sorrow, one that does not linger uninvited. Her sojourns seem to be part of life’s required curriculum, perhaps because Misery endows us with compassion and empathy. A time will come when – because we know how much it hurts – we will be able to help another.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Beyond Positive Thinking: A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want” by Doctor Robert Anthony

Your intention sets the universe in motion. The universe flows in the direction of your intention, and so it is important to be clear on your exact intention in any situation. If you are absolutely clear as to your intent, your subconscious success mechanism will support you in getting there. Most people encounter problems in creating the kind of life they want because they have not clearly determined where they want to go, or visualized what it is going to look like when they get there. Those who lead purposeful, successful lives do so because they have set up in their mind a clear picture of what they want to create in their lives.

Doctor Robert Anthony

First create the Dream. Then focus your intention on it. Feel it in the present. Everything else will line up to meet that vision. And all you have to do is Imagine!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Law of Attraction is NOT a Secret” by Anita G. Wheeler

People send messages out to the universe, asking for money or abundance, when in fact, it’s financial freedom they truly want. They want to remove the stress, anxiety and worry that lack of money brings into their life, not an unlimited well of funds to dip into. They invoke the Law of Attraction but aren’t aware and clear about what they really do want.    Most people don’t actually want the things they wish for—-they actually want the FEELINGS they get from those things.

Anita G. Wheeler

Look at what you are wanting to attract into your life and make sure that you are matching that with the vibration that you are sending out to the Universe. You are always subject to the Law of Attraction, whether positive or negative. As an individual and as a Planet we are magnetizing the vibration of what we transmit. Make sure you personally are magnetizing what you WANT and not the energy of something that you don’t want! When we do this individually, we can change our own life and, ultimately, the life of the Planet.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Sacred Promise” by Gary E. Schwartz, PhD.

According to Native American mythology, the bear is the symbol of the power of introspection. According to the book that accompanies the Medicine Cards, the bear resides in the west, which represents the intuition. On occasions when I have become imbalanced — either valuing the cold reliability of technology more than the warmth and caring of spirituality, or embracing the comfort of logic and reasoning over the spontaneity and novelty of intuition — I have been gently yet firmly realigned by unanticipated synchronicities.

Gary E. Schwartz, PhD.

Many of the clients I work with are receiving clues about the direction they need to follow but come to me for help clarifying what those clues mean. Your intuition is giving you information all the time, often in ‘unanticipated synchronicities.’ Pay attention! And ask if you need help with the interpretation or in accessing the information available in your unconscious mind. You have everything you need to find your way!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power” by Vernon Howard

Noticing our negativities is a curious process. It is like seeing a shadow and taking it as a frightening phantom. If you look closely, you see it as a mere shadow. But refusal to look at it perpetuates the painful illusion of a frightening phantom. This is the awful state unnecessarily endured by millions of unawake people. They suffer without knowing why.

Vernon Howard

Worrying about scary things makes them scarier. They are illusions. They have not materialized. As we awaken, we become calmer about examining our illusions for just what they are – phantoms. No shadow can overpower the Light within YOU!!!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Sphere of Light: The Element Orbs” by Cody Kilgore and Carl Tucker

David and Bobby [the helpful elf] set off to find the Darkness Orb in the Castle of Doom to the south. So they traveled to it in ten hours. When they got there, they saw King Triton, the dragon, Thor, the Cyclops, and the Wind God back to seek their revenge [for taking the Orbs from each of them]. David charged in the middle of them with the water sword and stabbed the dragon. The dragon disappeared. Then David sent out a tsunami and defeated all the enemies.    David ran into the castle with all the orbs except one in his hand. He saw the Black Knight. David tried to beat him with his water sword, but it seemed to have no effect. The Knight pinned David down, took the orbs, and put him into the dungeon. In the cell, David saw a light sphere. David finally knew what could defeat the Black Knight. He knew what the sphere was called – the Light Orb. He used the light to bring the key to him. He unlocked the door to the cell.    He charged up the stairs and said, ‘Black Knight, bring it on!’    The Black Knight came out of nowhere and said, ‘No, not the Light Orb! I forgot I had left it in the dungeon!’ And he started to fade fainter and fainter until he was nothing but a speck.    David looked all over the castle for the orbs. He only had 20 minutes ‘til nightfall to find the orbs. He finally found them in the window sill. He raced out of the castle.    Once he got out, the orbs started to rise in a circle. They started to form a portal for him to go back to the real world.

Cody Kilgore and Carl Tucker

This is an unusual Book Lights quote. It’s from a wonderful story that our grandson, Cody, wrote with his friend, Carl, six years ago. The story is about a boy, David, who moves through a portal into a different reality where he must find the Element Orbs. This quote is from the final chapter, whose title is ‘Darkness vs. Light.’    Cody is now 13 so this was written by a young boy who ‘gets it.’ What is the Black Knight in your life? Remember, all you must do is shine the Light Orb onto it to reduce it to a speck! Do you need a ‘David’ to guide you to the Light Orb? Find one so that you can ‘go back to the real world.’ Shine the Light on your illusions and you will find reality! And the little children shall guide us!

 

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Healing of America” by Marianne Williamson

Our ultimate ground of being – what the Chinese call the Tao – is the mystical oneness out of which all worldly manifestation flows. To see how the greater oneness is in constant process of giving birth to two – that yin and yang might then come together again and give birth to another one – is to hold the key to greater understanding of anything in the world.

Marianne Williamson

 

When we understand that we are all a part of the oneness, then we start to comprehend how we can be individuals and part of the whole at the same time. It is not either/or. It is always ‘and.’ Think of yourself as You, the Individual, AND You, the Member of the Community. Thus, the greater good of the Community can also be the greater good of You!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Cheiro’s Language of the Hand: The Classic of Palmistry” by Cheiro

’Know thyself,’ the motto of the ancients, is the simplest but the grandest sermon that can ring within our ears. By the knowledge of nature do we honor nature; let us then consider the study that can give such knowledge; for by the knowledge of self may we master self, and by the improvement of self may we also improve mankind – to the advancement of the race, to the honor of the world, and to the glory of those who, in the march of time, will fill life’s broken ranks, and some day take our place.

Cheiro

From this book, published in 1949 after the death of Cheiro [1866-1936] we see how highly he held the idea of knowing oneself. The ancients also know how important this is. And, yet, we are often too busy to spend the time it takes to work on self-knowledge, to develop the skill of examining the self. Jump on the ‘Know thyself’ bandwagon and find a way to learn more about yourself, your gifts and talents, your Soul Purpose and your Life Mission. Scientific Hand Analysis is a great way to start!
