Sleeping Man
The vast majority of people sleep through their waking lives unaware of the powers within them. Capable of attaining spiritual heights, they seem to prefer the great dream of life instead of awakening to the true reality of themselves as a spark of the divine. We are lost in a dream, some would call us the sleeping man. One has to exercise the force of will in order to wake oneself up in this lifetime. It is the goal of this book to put us back in touch with our spirit and back in control of our lives.
We are Spiritual Beings
We are spiritual beings. Most of us think we are human beings having a spiritual experience. However, it's actually the other way, we are spiritual beings having human experiences, not human beings having spiritual experiences. Many of us don't believe it and if we do, we don't really understand the obviousness of it. We don't believe it because we have been taught since birth that we are the human beings (the body, the emotions, and the mind), and that the spirit is some strange unknown. In fact most of us are never taught anything about the spirit. Even our educational system focuses on training the body and the mind, not the spirit. So it's no wonder that most of us know nothing about our spiritual side. Our nature as pure consciousness, as a spiritual being is right in front of us. As pure consciousness, we are already free. It is our body, our emotions, and our mind that is not. The soul is who you are. The body, the emotions, and the mind are what you use to experience who you are in the physical realm. Most of us allow the body, the emotions, and the mind to control our behavior and run our lives. By taking control back we can determine the circumstances and outcome in our lives and regain that connection with our spirit.
In this book, we will learn how to be in control of our body, our mind, and our emotions. We will learn how to control our thoughts and be in charge of the thought process. We will learn how to control the creation process and create whatever we want in our lives. We will learn about living in the present moment, also called the now. We will learn about mindfulness and how to practice this in our lives. We will also learn about energy and vibrations, and how these impact our relationships and our lives. We will also learn to be in control of all aspects of our lives and how to create the life that you want.
Most books give you a lot of theory, but no real practical applications. This book will provide both the theory and many exercises giving you the practical applications that will assist you in your life. It would be nice if we could do just one thing, one type of exercise like meditation to accomplish our goal. The truth is you need to work on multiple areas, you need to work on your whole being. It is through the use of breathing exercises, meditation, work with the emotions, exercises for the mind, work with thoughts, the use of mindfulness, and work with energy and vibrations that we can regain the connection to our spirit, regain control of our lives, take back control of our lives, and determine our own destiny.
The Two Sides of Man
There are two sides of man. We know that man is composed of two parts, the spirit which animates the body and the body itself. It is man's spiritual side that we are interested in here. Some would say that life is a journey. To create a better world, we must start with ourselves. To the degree that you realize the existence of spirit within your being, so will you rise in the spiritual scale of life. This is what spiritual development means.
The Universe
As far as the world is concerned, everything is structured in consciousness and there is an order to things. We know that man is composed of two parts, the spirit which animates the body and the body itself. Human beings operate within a magnetic field. All that we perceive now or might perceive in the future has to do with the manifest worlds which are illusory in nature.
It is not necessary to search for anything outside of oneself. The journey is not outside, but inside, being or becoming aware of inner space, or the inner dimension of consciousness. Humans have become lost in the outer physical dimension, and have forgotten the inner dimension. There are two primary dimensions that we will be concerned with, the outer physical dimension and the inner spiritual dimension. Earth is ascending, our consciousness is also ascending. We are remembering that we are beings of light and love, who are one with everything and god.
Mind
As you start to reconnect everything in your life will start to change, start to get better, and improve. You will find you are happier, you will find things are attracted to you, things like love, happiness, money, and success.
Positive Energy
The goal is to get you to a place in your life where you are constantly in a positive state of mind, therefore constantly projecting positive energy. This positive energy will attract positive situations, people, and experiences into your life, often known as success and abundance.
We have a choice in life of either expanding or contracting our power. Anything positive, creative, or filled with love is expanding your energy, anything negative, destructive, or filled with hate and anger is contracting your energy. We always have the power of choice.
