    About this ebook

    Enlightenment does not come from the enlightened and knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge applied. To be the wise one, you must gain knowledge.
    Faith is not enlightenment; knowing is. With knowledge comes great power from using it. The answers are not found only in faith or in religion but in the knowledge that you gain by exposing yourself to new things.
    Fear, desperation and depression come from a lack of knowledge and wisdom. But mostly it comes from the unwillingness to learn new things and take the opportunities that come with it.
    With every investment there is an expectation of a return. This book is an investment in the knowledge you gain of your true creative nature and opens a world of new opportunities. Many who have gone before you are already experiencing this enlightenment!

      About the Author

      Roy Ernest Klienwachter was born in 1948 in the City of Vancouver, in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. Most of his foot prints can be traced within the area of the lower mainland of the Fraser Valley. The Fraser River flows from the central interior of the province into this narrow valley off the Pacific Ocean and is world famous as the Mighty Fraser River.

      Roy likes to make it very clear that he writes for himself. It is his way of expressing himself. He does not like to present himself as an authority on spirituality, but teaches it so that he may learn. He writes from what he believes and is not afraid to put it down on paper.  His intentions are simple, and come through strongly with devotion and purpose. His books bring with them a sense of accomplishment for him, knowing that someone else may benefit from what he writes.

      Roy says the writing is easy, the proof reading and corrections are painful. He often does not know what he has written until he reads it for the first time.

      For more than three years he channeled for Joseth, a spirit entity, which came to his pen each morning before breakfast, and is published on his web site at www.klienwachter.com.

      Roy was brought up Christian and attended many different traditional churches from Catholic to Pentecostal. He no longer belongs to, or claims any affiliations to organized religion. He respectfully acknowledges their place in history and now believes that there is more than what convention can teach.

      Roy’s message is clear, it is straight forward and it rings loud. You do not have to try and find your spiritual awareness. It will come to you if you are open to it. Do not be discouraged if you do not find it the first time. It simply means you are not ready to receive it yet. All things come appropriately to you when you are in the correct time and place. You cannot let something new in while you are holding on so tightly to that which is already known. You cannot receive until you give it away.

      This book was written for you. That is why you are reading it now. It is appropriate that you are here at this time, and even if you do not understand at this instant, it will become clear later.

      Now open up your mind, and welcome new possibilities and experiences. Know always that you can throw the book away at any time you desire, or accept the gift that is being offered to you.

      "Only one thing has to change for us to know

      happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.."

      Greg Anderson

      Introduction

      All of us at some time in our life get stuck in a belief system. As I like to say, we are stuck in a box, with no new information coming in, or we tend to ignore it. We get comfortable with what we know, and are not willing to go through what we perceive as an effort to change.

      In order to get out of your box you must first be willing, at least for the moment, to give up on the idea that the box is all there is. If you are not prepared to do this, there is very little likelihood of you learning anything different than that which you already know, and there is little chance of any meaningful growth. In the darkness of the box there is no light for anything to blossom.

      One of the greatest fears that many people have about learning anything new is that it might nullify anything that they have believed-in before. One often fears that when they change what they have always believed in, it retroactively means they have been living a lie. This fear is so strong, that one will exaggerate any negative reasoning imagined, in favor of maintaining the status quo.

      Playing it safe, not rocking the boat and staying in the comfort zone, is better in the minds of some people than the promise of anything gained by developing themselves spiritually in something as abstract as a new or upgraded belief system.

      Being open to new possibilities is scary. There is always the lingering thought that we may be punished for transgressing and unable to return to our comfort zone. Our souls may be lost forever and unredeemable.  

      In opening up and lifting yourself out of the box it is not necessary to assess your old beliefs as right or wrong. That would be incorrect. What you have believed in, or now believe in, is
