| QUOTES FROM THE BOOK |
1) " Because Humanity is just beginning to emerge from a blinding ignorance of our metaphysical
essence, we have put ourselves through some gut-wrenching times in our history. Billions of us have
warped our guts from lack of pleasure and betrayal of our insides. It is so sad that many of us have
been taught to think of ourselves as being unimportant and have treated others that way, too.
Finally, we are beginning to wise up and change. " (p. 320)
2) " It is important to know that all thoughts are experience requisitions. According to Paradigm
Three, we are, moment to moment, choosing our experience and, moment to moment, translating
our Lives into this sentence: "Look what I am giving myself now." Physical reality gives back
exactly what was offered; it is set up to be pure, symbolic feedback. " (p. 29)
3) " The living feedback system of Earth-reality is designed to help you and I, budding creators
that we are, to understand and evaluate the contents of our minds. We want to do this so we can
consciously change our minds away from the unloving and painful to the most loving. This is called
maturity; it produces the most fun. It is important to understand that nothing can counter our
conscious free will, except our unconscious free will. " (p. 30)
4) " The study of psychosomatic medicine began when Humans first became aware of ourselves.
In ancient cultures the interplay of mind on body was a central premise of their healing arts. Sadly, a
great deal of that knowledge was discarded in the Western world when microbes were discovered.
Microscopic pathogens were given full credit (star billing) for our disease experience and our mind
was largely relegated to the back seat. " (p. ix)
5) " Not understanding our body communications, we can sometimes get ourselves into intense
difficulty. Those of us who are "science oriented" will tend to brush off a bout with influenza,
bronchitis or an injury and think it "has nothing to do with me." We will then ignore the body signals
we are giving ourselves and usually proceed on the same emotional course as before. We will then
tend to increase the frequency of our body communications, hoping those unpleasantries will get our
attention to rectify our emotional difficulty. If we still do not get it, we may have to up the severity a
bit to get our attention. Sometimes all the way to the grave; Lifetime after Lifetime - - until we
choose to really face ourselves and grow. " (p. xii)
6) " The opposite of pity is gratitude. The Negative Ego hates gratitude ! It will continually
suggest in our thoughts that we are misunderstood, taken advantage of, unappreciated and have
problems that are horrible, terrible and awful (poor us)........all with no solutions (poor us again).
Therefore we cannot, absolutely cannot , feel gratitude ! So what if we can see, hear, talk, walk,
act, live outside a war zone or have shoes ? After all, we have big problems ! It pushes and pushes
us to shun gratitude and choose self-pity, knowing this will only lead to more self-pity.......this ugly,
disgusting, demon-like Negative Ego is in all of us. It is in ALL of us ! There is nothing good
about the Negative Ego. " (p. 197)
7) " A brief explanation here: motives for injury constructions can, but do not have to, include
motives not found in disease constructions. Inside an injury there is more "room" for beliefs of
punishment, treachery, distrust of Life and people, denial of responsibility and victimhood to be
operative. Each person gets to inspect and evaluate his personal and unique motives for choosing to
injure himself, either alone or through cooperation with others. " (p. 151)
8) " A special note here: a common criticism of encouraging people to take responsibility for
creating a disease or injury is that this somehow makes people feel guilty for getting sick. This is
totally false and indeed a harmful approach. Taking responsibility for creating a disease or injury
does not, by itself, create guilt. It actually creates freedom because we can be empowered to
discover and change our motivations so as to never have to have such an experience again ! If we
find we are responsible for having a certain condition and we feel guilty because of it, that guilt is
something we have attached to the responsibility, all on our own. It is as if someone gives us a
powerful locomotive to achieve some wonderful work and we attach to it a tanker car filled with
dangerous, stinking toxic waste. Then we get mad at the locomotive or the one who gave us the
locomotive ? The attachment of guilt to the responsibility is not at all necessary. Common, yes, but
not necessary. I suggest we be wary of those who want to protect us from ourselves by telling us
we are not responsible for our own creations. If we feel guilty about our unpleasant events (which I
can well understand), then it is our job to work it through and release the guilt, primarily by
expressing anger at ourselves (without harm) and then forgiving ourselves. Please remember,
responsibility in no way brings self-blame or guilt. Actually, Responsibility = Power = Options =
Freedom. " (p. 48)
9) " Here are some incredibly important ideas which will change the way we relate to our and
others' Lives forever: when a spirit decides to have a physical go-at-it and begin another Lifetime,
we must make several important decisions. We decide which pocket of space and time we want to
inhabit and who we want to be our parents, siblings and relatives. We also decide which sex we
prefer to be this Lifetime, which race we prefer, which sexual orientation we prefer and how we
want our body to look and function ! If our spirit desires a negative condition to symbolize or
provide a growth issue, we will program it into the DNA code of the fetus we create and will soon
inhabit. " (p. 209)
10) " A final and very beautiful point metaphysics offers about emotions is this: we take them
with us. The old saying: "You can't take it with you." only refers to material objects. When we die,
since we are non-material beings, we take our non-material possessions with us; our imagination,
thought and emotions. Our emotional nature, since it operates outside of time, is ours beyond time.
This means the love and fulfillment we create this Lifetime are ours to keep forever. Any self-hate,
guilt and shame, however, are ours, too, if we are hanging onto them when we die. They are all
stored inside our Unconscious Mind, which connects us to all our Lifetimes. " (p. 64)
11) " Please realize that healing is a thought, a vibration. The inner sounds of self-love,
optimism and permission shimmer and glisten through our cells, creating and refreshing our body
anew. Every Human is fully capable of generating a healing vibration. Medicine is in our head.
Let us be careful we not give our healing ability away to those who work as doctors, technicians or
to the drugs. We select our present and future experiences; start believing in ourselves - - take
back our power ! We can become our own best healer as we work with our medical consultants.
Work to develop a positive attitude toward our healing treatments and ourselves. Honest, positive
belief, coupled with a positive expectation, is the best medicine of all. Our belief, real desire and
attitude is how we determine our treatment response. The happy news is: medicine is in our head
and heart. " (p. 302)
12) " I think Earth Life will get quite a bit more exotic than it has been. Once some people get the
hang of our self-creation ability, heck, we will do all kinds of funny things. Oh sure, we will
probably learn to teleport ourselves around, be in two different places at once, change political
outcomes with meditation, materialize money and whatever else pleases us. These events are
available to us. Sure, now. For instance, who right now is creating our nose ? Who is giving us a
little toe ? Or, a book to read and a chair to sit in while we read that book with eyes given to us by
whom ? By whom ? Yes, we are that powerful ! Moment to moment ! So, If we want to
levitate, we think it will help, go ahead, we are able to do so. We may have to learn how, or not, but
we can do it. I think we all can. We may not want to and that is ok, too, as there are many other
fine activities to invest our energy in; we get our choice. The absolute kicker about Earth Life is :
we always get our choice ! As far as healing is concerned, why, we have not seen anything yet.
Once we really get into our power and fully deal with what is possible, we could heal ourselves
instantly, i.e., completely heal a broken bone during ten minutes of meditation. This is no
exaggeration, as some people are doing it now. Just imagine how much better we will be at it with
practice. " (p. 324)
13) " So, Ladies and Gentlemen, I think there is a very solid basis for optimism and delight
when we consider the future we could and likely will have. We are going to have to consciously
choose it, though, and do whatever work is necessary to revamp our personal and societal belief
systems to get there; a beautiful future is not going to be a cheap high. Our shared, mutual
expansion will take effort, especially as we work to globally veto Negative Ego, bigotry, violence,
sexism, racism, guilt and litter. " (p. 329)
