Introduction
Each person on this planet has the ability to learn how to access the Source of
wisdom with and return to his or her essential, or real, self. You need only stop
pretending you’re less than what you came here to be, and allow your soul to
express itself fully. You are what you were when you came here. Ultimately,
there’s no other way to be. To realize your full potential, you must learn to be
what you are, wherever you find yourself on this planet. Pretending you’re less
than what you are is confusing to your soul, which wants you to be your
authentic self.
By contrast, your human parts often want you to be a struggling human, so they
can control your life. These parts conspire to try to make you believe that what
you see in the physical world is your real self. They want you to stay lost in the
human maze. Even though your soul is permanent and your human condition is
only temporary, your mind and its many “associates” such as the ego want you
to believe that they’re real and the soul is a product of your imagination. This
is backwards. The soul is the real part of you that never changes. Your human
condition is but a fleeting reality that’s here one moment and gone the next, in
terms of ultimate reality. You’ve always been your higher self, beyond the
cloudy veil of human illusion. You may not completely understand these higher
or deeper parts while you’re in human form, but these parts are real. If you’re
to expand your consciousness and become aware of yourself on higher planes of
knowledge and existence, you must transcend the fears of this world and see
your true and exalted self.
You can begin to do this today, by learning how to let go of all the aspects of
your being which keep you trapped in this worldly illusion. You must transcend
the need to identify with your past, your fears, your emotions, your cultural
conditioning, as well as with other people and their fears. You must see
yourself as fully capable of expanding your awareness as far as possible, while
you’re in human form. You don’t need to leave your body to become
enlightened. Enlightenment is not what you think. It’s not what others have
told you. Enlightenment is what you feel inside when you’re fully connected
with your universe, with your own expanded reality. You can access this place
of higher knowing, by releasing all that you’re not. You can become what you
are by being what you’ve always been.
7
The process of opening to one’s higher knowledge can take many years, but
you can do it if you want it badly enough. You can stay on the path to higher
consciousness, and you can become enlightened in this lifetime. Enlightenment
isn’t something reserved for gurus or yogis or saints. It’s for you and me here
and now, because being enlightened – seeing all that we need to see to live
happy fulfilled lives – is our birthright. We come here to live such lives. It’s
only our confusion at being in human bodies, and the confusion of those around
us, that leads us astray. But you don’t have to stay astray. You can become
what you are today. You can discover enlightenment in your own terms, and
you can begin enjoying the fruits of recognizing your part in everything. At the
same time, enlightenment may be a process more than a destination;
something for which we aspire but which we can never define.
Hopefully, the conversations I have with myself in this book will help you get
back in touch with yourself. You can speak to yourself in this way, too, if it’s
your way. You can learn to channel your own higher awareness however you
choose. Perhaps it’s in deeds rather than words. We each have our own unique
ways of manifesting universal reality. You can access your own inner wisdom,
and you can put it to use in this world now. You don’t have to wait until some
far-off, perhaps unreachable time and place before expressing your true and
expanded self. You can do it now, while in your present form. Why wait until
later to be yourself?
Essentially, our higher wisdom comes to us from the Source of everything. Once
we learn to access this higher knowledge and express it through our actions and
our words, we have found our way home. This is the place where we know
we’re done with all the painful learning of this earthwalk. This is where we can
release all the negative aspects of our personality and become who we are on
the expanded levels of reality. You need only access this higher part of yourself
and let the answers you need come through you, in order to be that wise being
who is inside your body waiting to be discovered.
I can access this part of myself easily now, and you can learn to do it just as
easily. It takes only practice and a commitment to knowing your own highest
8
truth. I use a question and answer format here, because it lends itself to such
discussion. I hope it may help you recognize that conversations inside your own
head may be your own spirit trying to speak to you. Give it a chance and you
may find that you’re not so far removed from your spiritual essence as you may
have thought. Higher consciousness is always waiting patiently just around the
corner. You can turn that corner in this lifetime. You can learn to see a whole
new landscape of reality. You can be that which you’ve always been, while you
still have time to enjoy it here.

WHAT IS SOURCE?
The Source of all-that-is; the origin of all information from all the universe, or
all of reality, however you wish to see it. Source is what is; that’s all. There’s
nothing outside of Source, and there's nothing you can’t learn to channel for
your own guidance and well-being.
to those other voices a lot, and they may act on something that’s, shall we say,
less than productive. Our minds are full of all kinds of ideas, and some of them
are downright foolish.
can’t define who you are at all. You must get beyond the need to define
yourself in any way, before you can find yourself. You must become limitless.
DO YOU MEAN THERE’S MUCH MORE TO EMOTIONS THAN HUMANS CAN FEEL?
Yes. Emotions run very deep. They are real on some level, as in the form of
exalted feelings. But emotions as humans feel them are pretty much un-
exalted feelings caught up in fear and delusion.
the inner self, to where the wisdom of the universe dwells. The dweller within
is you, and it’s there waiting whenever you’re ready to discover it. You can get
beyond the illusion of this place whenever you want.
WHAT IS ILLUSION?
Illusion is the belief that you must do one thing or another in order to be here.
Illusion comes from the belief that if you don’t participate somehow in life on
this planet, you won’t be able to be here at all. So everyone goes about
believing something which they think they must believe, in order to buy into
the physical world in some way. This creates agreements of how things are
here. Such agreements are the basis of illusion, and illusion creates the need to
fit in.
to know or do anything. Just sit and relax however it works for you. Take a hot
bath, sit in the sun, do a meditation practice or yoga, or simply lie down and
relax somewhere; it really doesn’t matter exactly what you do. The important
thing is that you allow yourself to relax and begin sensing what the body has to
tell you. Let the sensations come from deep inside you.
WHEN I’M TIRED THESE DAYS, SOMETIMES I DON’T SLEEP, BUT I SEEM TO BE
RELAXING, IS THAT OKAY?
Sure, your mind doesn’t always need to be “asleep” in the old way for your
body to relax. The mind can do whatever it wants. We’re used to having the
mind be asleep while we’re resting. But this isn’t necessary. Some yogis and
the like don’t sleep at all, because they’ve learned to slow down the mind all
the time. They no longer have the need to sleep in order to release all the busy
thoughts which most people’s minds accumulate during the day. It’s possible to
release each thought and its effects as it occurs so the mind won’t need to
replay it and release it later.
soul and let them tell you when you’re doing what you need to be doing, from
the soul’s perspective.

DO YOU MEAN ALL THE STARS AND PLANETS AND ALL THE THINGS
ASTRONOMERS HAVE DISCOVERED REALLY DON’T EXIST?
That’s right. All illusion. You don’t exist and neither does your universe.
what’s comfortable. Lifetime after lifetime. Returning to the same place and
sitting there for an entire lifetime without moving an inch.
IS THAT WHY PEOPLE COME BACK HERE TIME AFTER TIME SEEKING
ENLIGHTENMENT?
Sure, that’s it exactly. If you’re afraid to grow and expand, you stay where you
are … forever. But that’s okay, because remember, it’s all an illusion. Forever
never happens.

appropriate action. There’s really nothing you HAVE to do here. You can be
here and no nothing at all, and still be productive. Effectiveness, or
productivity, isn’t a product of thinking or doing; it comes from following spirit
and doing what you’re really here to do.
IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY NOT TAKING ACTION UNTIL IT’S TIME?
Yes. You may sense that something new is coming for you to do. Maybe you’re
to move to a new place, or start a new line of work, or meet someone new, but
it’s not quite the right timing. You need to wait until the impulse to act comes
from that place of deep inner knowing. Then, you take action immediately
without questioning the Source. If you act too soon, you’re acting from a place
of wishing or wanting something to happen, rather than knowing that it will
happen “now” when you take action.
HOW DO WE DO THAT?
You begin by sitting and waiting for what feels like an authentic impulse to act,
one which comes from spirit, or Source. When you get it, you act. Next, if
necessary, you sit and wait for another impulse to act. Or you may know
instantly what to do next, once you’ve done the first thing. It goes on like this
until you learn to trust your impulses more and more and act from that place of
knowing.
Sit and wait for the answers and follow that guidance immediately, as long as
it’s something that won’t put you in peril in any way. The soul will never tell
you to do anything dangerous or frightening, though sometimes the mind and
ego may believe it’s frightening. You need to relearn how to get in touch with
yourself on a deep level where you can tell the difference.
35
HOW CAN I TELL WHEN I’M ACTING FROM THE RIGHT PLACE?
First, you must let go of the need to do anything. Non-doing means giving
yourself the chance to know what to do – before you act. It doesn’t mean you
never doing anything at all. It means you sit and wait for the impulse to act
and then act. It means non-doing in terms of not doing anything you “think”
you should do. When you act from anywhere other than the soul, you give up
your power to decide what’s right for you. You take someone else’s idea of
what’s right, or the culture’s idea. Rather than acting from your own place of
knowing, you’re acting out of fear, or delusion, or happenstance, or something
other than your soul’s expanded point-of-view. When you act from the wrong
place, you feel discomfort of some kind in your body. You’ll know your body
wants you to be doing something else, no matter how secure or practical your
action may seem to the rational mind.
belongs to the soul, the inner self, spirit, whatever one chooses to call it. This
part of us is real, and it’s the part that should be guiding our lives.
Minds can never learn what the soul knows, because they don’t speak the same
language.
HOW WOULD OUR LIVES CHANGE IF THE MIND DID ONLY ITS WORK?
Your lives would work very smoothly. You would go from task to task knowing
that it was exactly right for you to be doing in that moment. Life would be far
different. No one would do anything based on what they thought they should
do, or because someone told them to do it. Life would take on the image of a
dance, instead of a battle. Most people battle their ways through life; making
all the wrong decisions and doing all the wrong things based on the wrong
information.
ARE YOU SAYING MOST PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS AT WAR IN SOME WAYS?
Yes! Most people fight with each other on some level constantly, competing for
things they don’t even need because they think they must fight or they won’t
have anything. But fighting keeps us trapped in old realities. Our minds want to
fight for everything, again out of fear or delusion. But minds can never be
satisfied. They just fight for the next thing, once we’ve “achieved” the last
thing. Minds can never know peace. The soul knows peace; we need only to
learn to listen to it and wait for it to give us peace.
it. Peace is the product of letting ourselves know what the soul wants. Peace
comes when we’re ready to have it fully in our lives. Peace is the true nature
of the inner self. Humans are at peace deep inside. When you let go of the fear
of not having what you want, you’ll have everything you really need. Live your
life this way, and you’ll find all the peace you could ever imagine, and a lot
more.
THEN IT’S OKAY FOR THE MIND TO NOT KNOW WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO
NEXT?
The mind never knows what we’re really going to do next. It may think it
knows, but it doesn’t know. It may think about what it might be like if we did
one thing or another. But it really doesn’t know, until after that thing has
already happened.

PERFECTION

WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF PEOPLE LET THEMSELVES HAVE ALL THEY NEED?
It would be magnificent! People would simply allow themselves to be who they
are. They wouldn’t go anywhere in search of anything, because it would be
right there for them, wherever they are.
HOW DOES ONE RECEIVE ALL ONE NEEDS FROM THE UNIVERSE?
Simply relax and let it come to you. For instance, with love, you don’t need to
go anywhere to have love. You don’t need to attract anyone in particular to
you. You need only to know that you’re worthy of having love, and let the
universe give you all that it can give you. The key is that you allow yourself to
receive love when it comes to you.
stop trying so hard to have what they think they can’t easily have, this world
would be a very beautiful place. Until then, there will be confusion,
competition, unhappiness, and lots of regret, which comes from not having
what you think you should have allowed yourself to have. Your soul knows when
you’re unhappy, and it tries to give you what you need. But most people block
themselves from receiving it, so they can justify themselves in feeling poorly
about themselves. They actually cause the disenchantment by not having what
they believe they can never have. Isn’t that silly?
WHO AM I REALLY?
You are light. Yes, you’re a being of light. You come here as light. You leave
here as light. In between, you fall into the trap of believing you’re just this
physical being. You think you don’t exist on other planes, because you can’t
see them. But when you begin opening to the possibility that you’re much more
than a physical being, your light begins coming through. People notice this
change in you, even if you don’t notice it in yourself. The more your light
shines through, the more people want to experience it. This is who you are:
You’re a light being whose light is shining brightly. As people notice, they want
to be light, too. This is how each of you can teach all the others about light
and love.
ARE YOU SAYING THE EGO THINK IT MAKES THE WORLD HAPPEN?
Yes, the ego thinks the entire world revolves around it. It believes it must feel
powerful in order to justify its own existence. Once again, when you get rid of
the ego you dissolve all belief that you’re causing anything to happen, good or
bad. The ego is never in charge of your life, and the sooner you realize this,
the sooner you’ll discover yourself and get on with your real growth.

HOW DOES THE IDEA OF “KARMA” PLAY INTO LOW SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES?
Karma is a belief system, like so many other things here. People who believe in
karma often believe they don’t deserve to be free of karma they’ve built up
over the years, or lifetimes. So they go on “undeserving themselves into karmic
misery”. It becomes just another reason to feel badly about themselves,
another manmade illusion.
are free of it. You can become karma-free by believing you’re karma-free. To
do this, you must become aware of the tremendous power of the thought
process, of how you determine your future by your beliefs today. You can
decide to not believe in anything and it will disappear out of your life.
and the need for it will vanish. In its place will arise the realization that all
vibrates here to a universal force of some kind, a force which assures that
everything will happen in and of its own time. You can’t control time and you
can’t control outcome. You must let go of control and let everything happen
when and how it does. Do you see how this is such a big issue for most people
here?
you weren’t in control, and then quit doing those things so you wouldn’t make
the same mistake again? These were all incidents in which you believed that
bad, or non-productive, things happened to you because you were out-of-
control. But control had nothing to do with these occurrences. You’re really
free to make any “mistakes” you want here, without being in control.
YES, BUT STILL, I’M WONDERING HOW PEOPLE FALL INTO THE TRAP OF
BELIEVING THEY NEED TO BE IN CONTROL?
Basically they don’t know any better. They think controlling things will keep
them safe. They think control is a good thing. Others tell them it is, so they
believe it. They keep making the same efforts to control things, and they think
it’s working if nothing really bad happens to them. They settle for a relatively
challenge-free existence in the belief that it’s safer than doing potentially risky
things, even though these things may bring them great satisfaction. Most
people settle for fairly boring lives, in the name of control, instead of taking
risks that could bring them great joy. The amount of joy in one’s life is usually
equivalent to the amount of risk one takes. Taking risks definitely takes one
out of the realm of control, or the belief in control.
anything else. You see, the very concept of control is, once again, a product of
human imagination.
49
YES, AND SO THE MIND BELIEVES IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT’S REAL?
Sure, the mind thinks it’s the important part of you, because it’s the only part
that can think like it does. It sees your body and thinks, “this is just another
part of me”. The mind is very provincial in this respect; it thinks that all it sees
or knows is all there is. What a very limited and judgmental creature it is! Your
mind gets you into trouble when you see the world through its eyes only.
You’re much more than the mind can ever see.
the ego in the dust. Being a product of the mind, the ego goes no further than
the mind, and it knows this. It knows that once the mind is gone, it’s history,
so it tries to prolong the illusion of the mind’s reality as long as it can. When
you decide to live ego-free, you’re killing this imagined part of you, and the
ego doesn’t like this prospect. It tries to keep you in slavery to its whims and
opinions.
“now”, this particular aspect of now will always be here serving the souls who
need this reality.
until you're done. There's nowhere to go anyway, and if you did go there before
you were ready you wouldn't know what to do.
WHY IS THAT?
Because, remember, this place is perfect. If you're still seeing the illusions and
you think they're real, then you haven't learned all this world has to teach you.
You haven’t learned to see through all the illusions.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
By expressing yourself as you truly are. By ignoring the illusion and doing your
life the way you need to do it. This is how one discovers perfection. Or rather
allows their own perfection to shine through.
DO YOU MEAN I CAN BECOME PERFECT BY REALIZING I'M NOT JUST HUMAN?
Yes, because you can see yourself as a higher being, you can converse with
higher consciousness. You have always been able to do this, you just had your
focus in the wrong place, on those lower thoughts.
supreme being-ness, and you’ll never need to look back again. This is when
you’re on the path to perfect living.

can begin seeing things in a different way. You can see yourself as part of all

happen. Since most people think at least some fearful thoughts most of the
time, much of what happens is frightening or harmful.
BUT DIDN’T FREUD AND JUNG AND OTHERS TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR A
HEALTHY EGO?
They weren’t speaking of ego in these terms. They were talking about ego as
something related to the soul, as if the soul had a human component that
needed to be expressed through worldly existence. This was a limited version
of the soul, or spirit; that it needed to come here to earth and express itself,
and get healthy so it could move on. As we speak of it here, the soul and the
ego have no real connection with each other. They are eternally separate. The
soul serves the entire being, all of reality actually, while the ego serves only
itself. It’s not necessary to have an ego at all to be here. It’s much healthier to
learn to be ego-free.
ARE YOU SAYING CONTROL AND FEAR ARE PART OF THE SAME ILLUSION?
Yes, fear and control are both illusions created by the mind and ego to make
you feel as if you’re out-of-control if you’re not feeling some kind of fear.
People label fear in lots of ways, such as hope, or intention, or planning, or
goals, or unmet needs, etc. But these things are all really aspects of fear. Fear
is basically anything which implies that you don’t trust your soul to give you all
you need. Fear depends on your need to plan or hope or wish for things. When
you listen to your soul, there’s no need to wish or want. The soul, or spirit, is
in charge and will provide you with all you need.
others don’t have. Greed and guilt are the result of one’s ego thinking it’s in
charge and is keeping you safe in some distorted way.
HOW DOES GUILT RELATE TO THE BELIEF THAT ONE CAN CONTROL OTHERS?
Action which mandates control or power is action based on the belief that one
can maintain control over other people. By controlling others, some believe
they can control their own lives. Control of one’s own life would lead one to
higher wisdom, if it worked. But it doesn’t work, so it leads instead to further
confusion. Confusion brings about more inappropriate action, which leads one
ultimately to the realization that the only way to be in control is to give up
control. So, you see, even control issues will lead one home eventually. But it
takes much longer than it would if one gave up those issues. Guilt keeps a
person trapped in the illusion that they shouldn’t feel guilty, which is what
brings up the perceived need to take inappropriate action.

and moved on. Once you’re done having all experience; i.e., have learned all
you came here to learn, you move on and forget all that was here.
BUT HOW CAN THINGS CHANGE AND NOT CHANGE AT THE SAME TIME?
It has to do with linear thinking, and the belief in cause-and-effect reality. If
you believe everything needs to be caused by something else, you also believe
that nothing can happen on it’s own, as in “serendipity”. But serendipity is the
true nature of things, as in everything happening on its own, with no cause. If
you continually seeking for the causes of things, you miss the point of
existence. Existence has no cause, no beginning, no end. It just exists.

about this truth. It’s okay to be who you are now, and allow yourself to expand
gradually into who you are in the greater sense. It can be quite confusing to
instantly drop everything you’ve worked toward being, in order to become
what you now believe you are. The key is that you become aware that any
identity is only an illusion which serves you while you’re here and will no longer
be part of you once you’re gone from this dimension. Form and formlessness
merge when you become aware that you are both at the same time and that
you don’t have to hold onto either.
Explore this universe to the best of your ability and you’ll find your way home
to a place you’ve really never left.
WHAT THEN IS THE ULTIMATE MEANING OF OUR EARTHLY EXPERIENCE?
It’s part of your journey back to Source, to the center of all existence. It’s the
way you’ve chosen to rediscover your reality; to go beyond the universal
consciousness of this place; beyond the presently acceptable illusion which
most people live here.
