Volume One
Chapter Eight — The Gift of Wisdom
July: Enjoyment
1. Life, on the surface, can be fun for both soul-emergent and soul-dominant characters. It can be filled with excitement, intrigue, mystery, and suspense. Characters can work hard to achieve any goals they may have and then enjoy the fruits of said labors. There are many paths here and many choices. Even finding the right path may take some doing. The soul is part of every life experience, and it always encourages its mind-body vehicle to stop and smell the roses along the way. The ego gets caught up in the details, the minutiae, and makes the journey harder and more unpleasant than it needs to be. Enjoyment of life's journeys is of paramount importance, especially now that you know the secret of life. Life and all its myriad journeys are designed for the merging with, and eventual consumption of, the ego. Only then can life really begin.
2. Guidelines:
Readers should delve directly into the "Gift of Wisdom" after completing all of the "Steps to Authenticity." Simply find the appropriate starting date on the calendar and begin there. Each month of affirmations centers around the theme and each theme is an aspect of wisdom. At the conclusion of this second year, the gift of wisdom will be yours. These exercises will facilitate soul growth by quieting the mind and retraining it to be in service to the soul and not strictly to the ego. Godspeed to all those who tread these waters to refine their authentic selves into shimmering gems.
