There is a special Force within all of us - within You, my friend. A Force so powerful that many who abuse it lose control of their lives and fall to the darkside. The dark side full of ego, fear, anger and hatred and greed.  

But you have a quality, a special quality within you that can create miracles and masterpieces. This Force Within You is so powerful that you can re-direct the course of history when you decide that you want to contribute to the evolution of humanity and this beautiful but fragile planet. Study the great sages and saints who have walked this earth before us and you will notice a common theme that runs through all of them: reverence for Life and Nature.  

This magnificent Force within all of us has been used to free slaves, save thousands of lives, enable children to realize their inner potential, and to help people like You to realize thief lifelong Dreams. If you choose to use this Force wisely, you will alter your destiny and the people around you in your world.  

What is The Force?  
The Force is the God power (or Creator) that runs through all things. It is the Life Force that makes the rivers run, the flowers bloom, the stars twinkle and the Heart beat its rhythm of life. When you stop to consider all the things that go on without our conscious awareness or intervention, you'll have a sense of just how powerful this Force really is. You can also learn how to channel this Force to your benefit.  
  

How can I use the Force?  
Great question. Like any skill or discipline, learning the art of The Force takes great patience and time to master. Think about any great teacher or mentor that you've had and you'll notice that almost all are over 50 years old. The reason for this is that it takes time and practice to "see through" the normal veils that society teaches people. It can take years to learn the art of quieting your mind - the first and most vital step in mastering the Force.  

The good news is if you have the courage to turn off the noise, the media, and the opinions of other people, the time it takes you to more fully tap this force within you will dramtaically decrease. If, on the other hand, if you choose to depend on others for your spiritual or emotional sustenance, it could take you a lifetime to learn the simplicity that runs through all life.  

As you learn to quiet your mind, you will begin to notice things that you've never noticed before. Life will begin to take on a new meaning, a new depth and joy.  
  

Why is quieting my mind so important?  
Because what you focus on determines what you create - your reality. So, if your mind is a whirlwind of anxiety and unrest, you will create a world of anxiety and unrest. But take the time to slow down, and you'll begin to notice how your anxieties lessen, your breathing becomes slower, your mind and body calmer, and you begin to feel centered again. With a quiet mind, you will form the foundation for building the life of your Dreams. When your mind is overactive, you literally send out waves of doubt, fear and uncertainty that can undermine your health, well-being, and prosperity.  

But, when you take the time to slow down, you'll begin to create more with less effort, and in time even less effort than you ever thought imaginable - no matter what the intention - assuming it aligns with your higher self and your truest desires.

How knowing what makes you feel alive and passionate can help you more  than just getting "what you wish for".  
By Paul Bauer  

The difference between a goal and a Dream is not just setting a time frame  
for its attainment and then "making it happen". More and more people are  
beginning to realize that their old aspirations that they thought were  
going to make them happy actually make them even more unhappy. A new way  of thinking has begun in large numbers. People returning to their Dreams.  The Dreams of their Hearts. Some call it "Living with a Purpose", others  refer to it as "Right Livelihood".  

Understand that Real Dreams come from your Heart - from your Soul. Your  
Passions in life are inseperably linked with your heart, the place where  
Dreams come from. Knowing this and weaving this principle into your life  
will make profound changes for you and your loved ones and friends. You  
will feel different, more alive, more passionate -more real!  

Realizing your Dreams is a choice! You can decide to take what I call  
"Dream Steps" - those actions that transform your Dreams into reality!  
  

Q. How do I know what my Dreams are and how do I act on them?  
Answer: Ask yourself, "What makes my heart sing?" What have I wanted to do  for years but haven't done because of some obstacle or belief that I  
perceived?  Keep in mind that the best time to sense your Dream is when you first  awake or when you are in a quiet place (preferably in Nature). "When your mind is calm, clarity results". Some of the most successful people in the  world know this, and they make their major decisions from a calm mind.  

Keep in mind that these successful people value balance in their lives  
with major importance.  

Question: "Why shouldn't I just continue working on my goals - everything  
seems to be working?"  
Answer: Ask Yourself, Am I really happy? Or, Am I looking outside for my  
fulfillment rather than inside. You will notice that I often have you ask  
yourself questions - or refer to how you feel inside. The reason for this  
is because deep inside you, there is an incredible source of creativity  
and imagination that you are only beginning to tap. Goals are fine - but  
how do you feel when you accomplish them? Do you feel rewarded? Or just  
like another challenge has been met?  

Know this - Real happiness and satisfaction in life depends upon how you  
embrace what You are passionate about! And only by embracing your passions  can you achieve the happiness you are destined for.

How to free yourself from your ego and live from your  
True self - your Spirit  

By Paul Bauer  

If we desire true freedom, freedom from any outside 'event' that seeks to  
tie us down, we need to understand the ongoing struggle that our egos  
intend to have with our True selves. Real freedom begins with the ability  
to understand that we are the thinker of the thoughts in our heads, but  
not we are not the thoughts themselves. We create these thoughts, they do  
not create us. We can exercise our ability to 'watch' these thoughts as  
they come in and watch them as they leave-and being aware that watching  
them is a state of strength in itself.  

Q. What do you mean by the phrase "True Self"  
Answer. Your true self is your Spirit. The part of you that has no  
boundaries-no limitations. To understand this is to live your life with no  
fear. Only your ego fears anything. Your True self - your Spirit - knows  
that in order to truly free yourself from your ego and its ceaseless mind  
games, you must face your fears.  

A quote from Guy Finley's insightful book "The Secret of Letting Go" reads:  

"Just dare to proceed even while being afraid. But remember, your new aim  
isn't to be courageous or to try to act strong in the face of fear. No.  
We've seen that this won't work. You simply want to be be more curious  
about your frightened thoughts and feelings than you want to believe in  
them. If you follow this simple but Higher Instruction, not only will you  
start to see these habitual reactions that have been keeping you scared  
and running, you'll actually start seeing through them."  

Try practicing this wisdom in your life. Try to step back from your  
thoughts and sense that you are the thinker of your thoughts, not the  
thoughts themselves.  
  

Q. "How do I know the difference between my true self and my false self"  
(ego)?  

Answer. Ask yourself, "Which provides me more peace?" And sit back and  
watch and see how you react to your own routine thoughts and feelings. As  
you can do this, the light of your True self that once seemed dim will  
continue to brighten.  

Q. "Isn't it better to just move on and not acknowledge the past or the  
pain?"  

Answer. Trying to move beyond a problem without first understanding it is  
like asking for directions from someone who has never traveled the land  
you seek - and with no map. They have been using a map based upon ego -  
What I call the "map of the ego".
