Beschreibung

This book was written to encourage and support all those who might be termed, "self or soul seekers." My introduction to this philosophy and/or teaching called "metaphysics" actually turned my life around. Over the years after much reading, studying, researching, a lot of soul searching and practicing those concepts that made sense to me - I have become a more confident and peaceful person about my place within the universe. After many years of private pain and suffering, I have learned so much about that "something" within me that has become the catalyst for me to feel empowered, to learn to honor and respect others, to make positive changes for myself based on my own determination. I have learned to accept myself just as I am and no longer relying on others' opinion or waiting for their concept of who I am or should be. I have learned that I have a powerful tool that is available to me. This tool was not given to me by anyone nor can it be taken away from me. I am in total control of this tool - which is my mind. With our minds, we can observe; make adjustments when we find it necessary or desired. We can make judgments or not. We can be healthy, happy and successful - all due to our state of mind. What a powerful gift that we all have been given. So this book may be a catalyst for others who have probably heard these words before but have not been courageous enough to make a stand for themselves. Changing one's thoughts can, indeed, change one's life - but this endeavor is not easy. It takes commitment to one's self to come to that place of understanding and accepting that it's what you understand in life is...what you will experience!

Spiritual Counselor At a time in Portia's life there were two words 1) religion and 2) church that had been banished from her world of consideration. She had become disenchanted and disappointed with those who professed themselves to be "Christians". Although she was actually afraid to call herself an atheist, she decided to compromise by calling herself an agnostic. One day in 1978, she was invited, or maybe coerced is a better word to use, to attend a church service that had a different approach to religion and God. She later learned that this approach was called "metaphysics" and the church was affiliated with an organization called the Unity Church. On that day, although she didn't recognize it at that time, the rest of her life was literally changed. As the minister spoke on that day, she sat straight up on the church pew because it seemed to be speaking directly to and for her. After service Portia rushed to the bookstore and purchased a book by a well-known author named Catherine Ponder. On the first page of that book the words spoke to her and they were: "There's gold dust in the air and you deserve to have your share." The next Sunday, she joined that church. For five years, she never missed a single Sunday service. She attended as many workshops as she possibly could and took every class that was offered. Portia wanted to know everything about this teaching called "metaphysics". For her, this non-traditional approach to understanding her relationship with God - the Universe - made a lot of sense to her. It agreed with her soul. She wanted to learn more and more. And as she continued to study and practice the principles of this teaching; her life took turns that even she could not have imagined. For all those years, this teaching has proven its worth to her. At some of the most devastating moments in her life, what she learned has been her salvation at every turn. She has been blessed with phenomenal mentors to assist her in wading through the quagmire of life's lessons and finding her way to peace. So as you can see from her accomplishments over the years, Portia has a lot to say and she wants to share that with all who are willing to listen and take to heart those principles of the universe which have helped her and so many others that she has personally counselled; through her workshops, seminars, Sunday lectures, etc. She hopes to continue to broaden this desire to help so many others by sharing her life experiences through her greater understanding and acceptance of is awesome approach to life.
