Essential listening!

I have just listened to it and will say everyone should give this a go atleast for 20 minutes and see what it holds for them and their lives. I will be listening to it again a few more times I think. Have a nice day to whoever is reading this and sending my blessings to you.

I did not expect to enjoy it this much

I like reading the odd self help book and this is one of the old classics in the area.
It does speak a lot of god which is something I usually find quite annoying but I did not mind it in this book.
For people familiar with the law of attraction and those books you will see where they gained some inspiration.

Too materialistic

The concept of ask and ye shall receive is misinterpreted by this author.
asking God or repeated affirmations for money and riches is not going to work.

Affirmations and the law of attraction is about searching for graces.
Love
forgiveness
charity
acceptance
and fortitude
all these powers are within us .
God is within us.

God is not going to give you plates and riched if you adk or pray for them no matter how hard.
God is only going to release what's within you and manifest the strength and powers you already have to show the graces.

if you are in pain Asking to he Lord to ease your suffering will be heard by affirmations or prayer to gain strength and endurance to bear the pain and acceptance and forgiveness and love. This will attract love and compassion from others and the universe so that tour pain becomes bearable and understood.

Worst book I’ve ever listened to

I stuck with it for a while because I hoped it would get better but when the words “mothers bring illness to their own children” came out of my speakers I had to turn it off, I’d heard more than enough. As a mother I find this deeply offensive and 100% disagree with this horse muck of a statement what a stupid thing to think let alone publish. I won’t be recommending it to anyone nor will I ever listen to it again.
