A Sample
from pg. 5 Once there was a little girl who knew things. And being such a little girl, what she knew, she said. Things she knew that she had "no business" knowing made her an unpopular preschooler in the South Carolina neighborhood where she spent her early years. Soon after she learned to talk the training began to stop the little girl from saying what she knew. There came a time when the girl was riding in the car with her daddy, long before seatbelts, and he deliberately hit the brakes hard enough to cause her to bump her forehead on the dashboard. He then said to her, "If you know so much, how come you didn't know I was going to do that?" At that time the little girl decided not to say things she knew anymore. pg. 6 Of course, I was that little girl. Although I knew things, I didn’t believe I had choices! So I allowed the societal training to change me. I built a wall between knowing and me. …I believed that I had to have an intermediary between Spirit and me. pg. 6 Then during my 40s, when I was having some painful emotional experiences, I said one day, "Obviously there's something I don't know about how to make this different, and I want to know what it is that I don't know." pg. 7 …of course, my prayer was answered—in the form of information I could use to deal with my "painful emotional experiences." I now know that the biblical reference to "pray always" doesn't necessarily mean formally, but to be in constant communication with God / Spirit / Creator / the universe—call "The Energy of All" whatever works for you. That's what I'd done as a child. Spirit and I just communicated—it took me a long time to believe we "weren't supposed" to do that. And, it took me even longer to know again that we were, indeed, supposed to do that! pg. 11 Awareness is the first step toward change. Just by reading this eBook you will be more conscious than you were. If you actively apply even one of its more than twenty-six Insights to your life you will have moved along on the 'believe / know' path and will be exercising control over your self-talk (what you think), speech (what you say), and actions (what you then do). pg. 13 An Insight: Perspective On my refrigerator door there is a magnet with
an angel and this maxim on it: "Attitude Changes Everything!".
