The Only 5 Things You Need to Know to be Happy Now and Forever

About this ebook
At first glance it makes no sense whatever to believe that if you know only five things—just knowing them alone, not acting on them—could possibly make you happy. When you reflect on your life so far, though, it will likely occur to you that knowing some things right now makes you a lot happier than if you did not know them.
You might know, for example, that you have good health, enough money to meet your needs, a loving family and a few good friends. As you reflect on those, you’ll come to realize that just knowing them goes a long way toward providing you a good measure of happiness.
Now consider that the five ideas in this book go way beyond basic aspects that pertain to the life you’re living right now. They will leave you assured that you are fine not just in this life, but in any other life you might live, and in any experience you might have after your death.
Not only that, they will also assure you that it’s the same story for everyone, regardless of how miserable or painful their current life might be. That means you can be happy for yourself, and for anyone sharing the planet with you. That’s a pretty big payoff for a simple thing like knowing these five, which might not take you more than an hour or two. Here’s to happiness for you, now and “forever!”

Apart from his family, Dan McAneny has three main interests. One is working with people on disability who want to start a business or get a job. He’s been doing that for over 30 years, creating business plans and guiding job searches. He has written two books in that field. Another interest of Dan's for the past 45 years has been researching and studying our experience as spirits without physical bodies before birth and after "death," and its many positive implications for those currently living. His primary credential for writing on that subject is that he is very much the average person, not a scholar and not specially gifted in any way. All anyone has to do is look at the very simple and obvious evidence that "dead people" have been communicating beneficial information to those living in western civilizations for well over a century. He has written six books on this topic, and he published a revised, shorter version of his first book in 2015 with a new title, "You are Bigger Than All Your Deaths." His recent books list Dan McAneny as the author, while the earlier books list Daniel Thomas McAneny as author. His books include: The 2075 Movement; We Are All Tourists; The Only 5 Things You Need to Know; Christ Was Not Crucified, Thank God; and, It's SPIRIT, Stupid, NOT Matter. His third major interest is in medical developments that might help people get off disability. This last topic, plus his own experience as a 5x cancer survivor, stimulated his interest in how his friend Harry Watson, a World War II fighter pilot, recovered from cancer twice in his 80s while taking nanosilver, and resulted in his book titled "The Silver Water Coincidences." Dan and his wife have lived in New Jersey, Virginia and North Carolina. They currently live in the Sarasota FL area and have five children living in various parts of the U.S., with 11 grandchildren.

About the Author
From the Author to the Reader
Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? How could knowing just five things make you happy now, much less forever? Even if your own situation is a good one and you have no reason to be unhappy personally, you still have to contend with all that’s going on in the world.
It’s difficult to be happy about the world in general when paraded before you each day are news items about mass killings, including almost 500,000 Syrians killed, many of them innocent civilians, while ISIS carries out their beheadings, burning people alive, crucifying them, and selling women into sex slavery.
In the face of so much apparent evil in the Middle East and countries in other parts of the world, how would knowing just five things make anyone happy who knows what’s going on around the globe and cares about the suffering of fellow humans?
Well, the fact is it can. How? By releasing you from the highly limited, distorted version of physical reality you have tricked yourself into believing is real. And by giving you a new definition of yourself.
Once you realize you are a spirit, powerful, unlimited and eternal, and that the external universe and all material things in it are not reality, but rather your very personal ideas you have constructed about reality --- that will go a long way toward making you happy.
And when you know that you co-create the reality you experience, and that you have the power to change it, you’ll feel even better. Especially if you also find out that, once you realize you create your reality, you won’t have to come back any more into our Human Time-Space Illusion, and can go on to bigger and better things.
In a sentence, your problem is that you’ve been thinking too small – way too small. Once you get the bigger picture, you can actually be happy despite all that’s going on in the world you perceive about you.
But in order for you to get this bigger picture, you’re going to have to agree with what a lot of distinguished scientists claim…Wait! No problem there you say? Doesn’t everyone respect the findings of our foremost scientists?
Well maybe yes, but let me complete that sentence above. You are going to have to agree with what a lot of distinguished scientists claim… that agrees point for point with what dead people have told us.
Now really wait a minute. That’s a different story. No one has ever come back to tell us what it’s like after we die, you say. And to think they would tell us things that agree with the findings and theories of leading scientists, well that’s ridiculous, you might conclude.
Unless you look carefully at the evidence. Did you ever wonder why almost all of our brilliant scientists focus only on the exterior world we perceive with our five senses, or with the instruments and machines that extend those senses?
They have certainly advanced our knowledge and in many cases have helped large segments of the world population. Their instruments have enabled us to peer into the tiniest bits of matter that are the building blocks of our physical universe, and into very deep ranges of space, so we know much more about our planetary system and our galaxy, not to mention the two trillion known galaxies beyond ours.
But have they even considered studying our consciousness? Have they ever looked for evidence that our consciousness need not be limited to our bodies, and might in fact travel to all those places in space they want to reach physically at a cost of trillions of dollars? What would be the consequences if they learned beyond a doubt that humans can extend the range of their consciousness to explore all those planets and galaxies with almost no cost at all?
It reminds me of something one of my daughters remarked recently. She writes mystery novels and is always thinking of strange and unusual things most of us don’t give a lot of thought to. This particular remark was about animals. She wondered aloud what a difference it might make if animals could speak to us, whether we’d still kill and eat them, that sort of thing. I reminded her that people have been communicating with animals for a long time. I referred her to the video Anna Breytenbach and El Diablo
for strong evidence, and the book by Patty Summers, Talking With the Animals. But most of the population simply ignores it, and I’ll leave it to you to guess why.
I suppose scientists don’t explore the possibilities of consciousness because they have set strict limits on what you can explore and believe if you want to remain part of the larger body of respected scientists. They restrict themselves to the material world only, ignoring or in many cases denying even the existence of the spirit or any reality beyond the physical. As for any scientist paying a lot of attention to information that comes to us from dead people, they’d be ridiculed and expelled from the ranks of the respected scientific community.
Which is why they ignore a lot of solid evidence that information from dead people agrees with what a lot of quantum physicists maintain about reality. And they ignore the fact that it also agrees with what respected out-of-body travelers and people with special unexplainable talents also have to tell us about the nature of our reality and many realities beyond our own.
I will briefly summarize some of that evidence, which has been treated in detail in my earlier books, in the first four chapters of this book. The subsequent chapters discuss the only five things you need to know and their implications. The last chapter will discuss what, if anything, you might want to do about it, now that
