Volume One
Chapter Eight — The Gift of Wisdom
September: Togetherness
1. Togetherness is the opposite of separation. Togetherness is unity and unity always starts with the body being unified with, and not in opposition to, the soul. From there, togetherness or unity involves unification with everything and everyone - those who are in a state of unity with their own souls, the vast majority who are not, and untethered souls who create freely without bodies. Togetherness is a gift of wisdom, a strand of wisdom that promotes the "we're all in this together" type of attitude, rather than the ego's attitude of us vs. them and me vs. you. It is cooperative and not competitive. It sees the glass as half full and not half empty. It sees everyone as a work in progress and not the sum of their shortcomings and mistakes. Togetherness promotes seeing yourself in everyone, the good and the bad, the holy and the evil. Togetherness is a lot of things and honesty is at the top of the list.
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.
