      Introduction

      This book, like the last one, is a conversational guide through several spiritual and metaphysical concepts that many are now exploring. These pages contain my take on these concepts, as well as a lot of material that is channeled through me onto the pages and to you in the form of this book.

      The more I have explored myself, what it is I am trying to accomplish with this life, and how I can be of the greatest of service, the more I feel compelled to write down my thoughts, and what I’ve learned, in my own personal way. Lucky for me, it seems many of you enjoy reading what I write and accompanying me on these journeys. For that I thank you, and I thank God for putting me here and showing me that what I love to do is what I am meant to do. That is why we are all here, by the way, to do what we love.

      That is our true reason for our present lives on this planet, to live and fulfill our purpose and to be of service to as many as we can. We do this by following our hearts and truthfully living our lives as the lights we are and are here to be. It’s not always easy at first, believe me I know, but it does get easier and easier and better and better the more you grow within and into yourself.

      For those of you that read my first book, this will be a continuation and flushing out of those thoughts, plus a lot of new information. It was a bit of a struggle for me to get the first book out in its current edition. As I grew and learned more, I wanted to keep updating the information and make it the best I could make it. Thankfully, however, when it came to going to the old manuscript and updating it, I never had much motivation. I began to discuss this with others and they made it clear to me the information in the first book was perfect the way it was and would be exactly what was needed for those who read it.

      Now I am again filled with that same feeling of excitement and necessity as with the first project, sitting in front of a computer typing away. I only pray that this project turns out better than the first and just as, if not more, beneficial to all who read it. My hope is, for those that are continuing this journey with me, that this will be the next logical step in your progression as it has been for me. And I trust this information will reach you at exactly the right time — for you.

      This book is an addendum to the first, but wholly its own entity. It is not necessary to go back and read the first before you read this one. My publisher and I would not be upset in the least if you did, but it’s not necessary–unless you just feel drawn to it. This book has come into your life at the exact time it is supposed to just like all the other things that have transpired in your life. Whether we are aware of it or not, all things come to us at the exact right time and in the exact right way for us. But, hindsight being 20/20, as the saying goes; we need to look back on events or information to realize the truth of that statement.

      Chapter One

      The Common Denominator

      The title of this chapter is: The Common Denominator. What could that possibly have to do with you and your life? Not to put too fine a point on it, but it has everything to do with you and your life. Because you are the common denominator of your life, your world, your existence, your experiences and anything else you can think of in your world. What do I mean by this? Stop for a second, put the book down on your lap and ponder the statement; you are the common denominator of your life.

      Ok, what did you come up with? For me, this means that in the entire world I see and in all of my experiences I am the only constant. The only thing that remains the same in all of it is me, or in your life, you.

      Everything changes from moment to moment as we spin at 150,000 miles per hour through space on this ball of dirt and water we call Earth. On this Earth we speed as fast as we dare, within in the laws of our different countries and cities, to and fro experiencing our lives. The only thing that stays the same in all of it, for each of us, is ourselves. You are the common denominator in your life. I am the common denominator in my life.

      Even we don’t stay the same from moment to moment. We are ruled by our emotions. Our emotions arise largely dependent on the influences of the outside world. Many of us feel a victim to the world and sometimes to our emotions. However, there is no such thing as a victim. You are no more a victim of your life than anyone else is a victim of you. We all make choices that rule our lives, whether they are made consciously, unconsciously, spiritually or otherwise. Nothing can befall you without your consent. Nor can anything happen to anyone else without their consent. Everything that happens, no matter how random it may seem, is a cooperative effort between two or more people.

      We decide at some level or the other to participate in whatever experience we may have chosen for the sheer experience of it or to learn something through the experience. This is true no matter what is flying through your mind right now in rebuttal. There is no such thing as a victim. You have never been the victim of anyone else. Take a moment to allow your Ego to run wild with that statement and be aware of what comes up. Then take a third person point of view and look back at how that (whatever came up for you) affected change in your behavior or perspective and brought you to this point in your life.

      Many of our biggest issues and worst memories from our past are the very things that have created who and what we are. Those events were set up for us by our higher selves in order to bring us to where we are now. This mental assessment of our past, in the context of how those events benefited us, is one of the best things we can do to come to terms with our life in a positive way. Take time to look back on your experiences and make it a point to see the positive side of them all. Everything that happens to us in this life is for the good and in one way or another has led to something better.

      The perspective from which you view your life and your experiences is key to whether or not you perceive them as positive or negative. By taking stock of those events and realizing that, in some way, you were a partner in their creation for your own spiritual benefit is the fastest way to come to terms with all of it, positively. You are not a victim! You are the co-creator of your life and nothing happens to you that you did not have some part in and some control over.

      You are the common denominator in your life and you are the only thing that needs to change for your life to change. Change your mind and change your life.

      I am aware that your Ego may be quite up in arms, yelling loudly within your mind, about now. Your ego is trying to get your attention away from this and onto something else, anything but the truth you just read. I know that because mine is also. No matter how many times I deal with this subject and no matter how true I know the information to be, my Ego will still take exception to being told that it is not the victim of the world. The reason for this loud protestation by our egos is because the more we feel that we are victims of this life, the more control our Egos have over us.

      I feel like more examples are needed to continue with this subject. We need to pacify our Egos with more mental meat to chew on while we continue with this virtual onslaught against its very existence. The truth is very deadly to the Ego; it shows us the insanity of the Ego and gives us a means of liberating ourselves from its insane hold on us.

      To continue with this train of thought, let’s explore how insane our egos really are and how they tend to make us look just as insane.

      Relationships are a good place to start, because there are few places in our lives that are ruled so completely by the ego. The ‘Relationships’ in our lives are nothing more than a dance between two people trying to learn something beneficial — while their egos, in all their insane glory, are in total control. Think back on the relationships in your life and remember how often you felt like a victim of the other person or of the relationship itself. How many relationships seem to take on a life of their own from which you found it nearly impossible to escape? How often did you hold your hand to your head once that last relationship was done and wonder what the hell you were thinking when you got involved in that craziness? In what other part of your life have you experienced such insanity as in your relationships?

      The problem is that we allow our egos to run amok, and we believe all the insanity that insane part of us tells us. We actually judge every new person in our lives by every other person we have met and call this wisdom. How can you judge anything or anyone by something else that has absolutely no connection to or effect on the new thing or person? It’s like saying that we don’t like the taste of oranges because we once ate a bad banana or potato. Doesn’t make much sense, does it?

      The only thing that is the same in all of these situations and experiences is you. You are the common denominator of your life. Stop looking for the next relationship to fulfill you. Stop looking for the next person to make you
