1.	Bookmarks: 1	The Secret - When You Can Walk On Water , Take The Boat ( Part 40 ) The questions weren’t new and have been asked by thousands of unfortunate people for centuries. Why must I suffer so much? And if I had to suffer, why did my family and friends have to endure with me?All I had tried to do was to earn a decent living while treating my employees and others fairly. I had tried to live by the old injunction to “do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.” But in spite of my efforts it came crashing down—and fast. After the loss of the co...

In your waking time there are just as many helpful signs for your direction and well-being. Take for example,reading license plates on cars. Every once in a while, take the letters you see and form words. Pick the first words that come into your mind and see how often those words have relevance to your present situation.Once in a while, look at a billboard. Or, perhaps, a song...

Winter is a good time, but do you plant roses in the snow?A stormy day is a good day, but is it a day for sailing or fishing? There are cycles in the universe, the world and your life.Learn to find the cycles and use them for your benefit.Projects begun at the right time will be much more successful than if started at any other time.”“Sounds something like astrolog...

It’s the vehicle for your consciousness while you’re on earth.It’s also made to provide you with pleasure. Looking at a beautiful sun-set, tasting a delicious meal, hearing musical sounds, touching and so forth, these can be very pleasurable sensations for your body. You built it. I only designed it and provided the blueprint.”God relaxed for a moment and t...

As far as the eye could see there was water—blue-green and beautiful. The gentle wind and serenely rolling waves were soothing therapy. God smiled at me and said, “I thought a change of scenery would do you some good, especially since you love the ocean so much.”The vessel was a tall ship replete with sails and rigging. There didn’t seem to be anyone else aboard and I w...

Suddenly, it seemed as if I were looking through different eyes than mine, as if new worlds were opening before me. I felt the presence of an extremely powerful and loving force. And then, as if by a miracle, I began to feel that I was looking at the face of God. I fell to my knees overcome with awe and whispered, “Forgive me, Lord. Although I didn’t believe at first, now I know that You are t...

Then I remembered that many people refer to their bosses as “god,” and so, I quickly regained my composure.I looked over to the person sitting behind the desk. He seemed to be middle-aged, possessing a powerful presence about him. His hair was jet black and his eyes dark and piercing, somewhat like Gideon’s. Yet,as I looked at him a little more carefully, his hair now appeared to be lighter and his eyes blue. Must be some trick of the light, I thou...

We parked the car and walked through the never-ending crowds to a waiting cab. Gideon handed the driver an address and a few minutes later we stepped out in front of a tall building on an obscure side street. We walked up to the door, entered the lobby and were soon on our way to the thirty-third floor.We stepped out into a long hallway. I took a few moments to straighten my tie and comb my hair. A...

Finally, the shy disciple approached the Guru. ‘Master,’ said he, ‘I have toiled and practiced without ceasing, lo, these many years. See that city across the river? I can now walk on the water and go over to the city. Master, I have overcome. I can walk on water.’“Looking at the young disciple the old master sadly asked,‘Why did you not...

Additional financing was urgently needed.Without these funds,the company would be unable to increase production to meet the necessary requirements of the contract. There was even the possibility of having to dissolve the corporation, but I didn’t like to ...

He seemed so far removed from everyone and everything that only popes and priests, pastors and preachers, kings, emperors and presidents had access to Him. One would lift beseeching hands and cry in pain to this god ,but most times, no answer.I thought I’d throw a curve at Gideon.“Hey,Gideon, you know so much. Tell me about God. Who and what is He? W...

We, also,are creators. We are endowed with many of the qualities of the Creator, but most times,these qualities are so deeply buried that they’re hardly ever recognized or used.”“Yes, Lord and Master, please continue. Your humble servant listens.”He ignored my mocking attitude and continued. “Worry is a form of directed energy,John. Worry removes your focus from everyth...

My followers, if you look over there,” as he pointed to Peter and Paul,“Were a group of pretty somber folks and I had to make quite an impression on them.

It was wonderful seeing you again, Gideon. And Marla, I still wish to take you away and make you my princess. Are you sure you ... ?”Marla interrupted,“Not this time, Kamal. But keep trying; I like it.”“I bid you good evening, John,” he said. Then he looked at Pandayji and continued, “It was good to see you, Pandayji. Let us get together in Trivandrum ...

I just don’t understand.”“Things are not always what they seem to be, my boy,” replied the Terror. “Gideon taught us that appearances could be deceiving.

Sorry for the inconvenience and commotion. Anyway, they’ll be leaving soon.” The manager seemed only too anxious to agree to anything that would return tranquillity to his restaurant. He thanked Gideon,bowed,turned and left with the two nervous guards in tow.Marla spoke up, “You always seem to have this effect on others, Kamal. Maybe, you might try to be a bit more cordial? N...
19.	Bookmarks: 0	Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 90) Trivandrum is a little city in the south of India. It faces the sea and, though sweltering during the day, is cooled in the evening by the gentle on-shore breezes that circle the tip of the sub-continent. It was years since I had visited that small city with Pandayji, but I vividly recall the spontaneous, gregarious nature of its population. There were fishermen and farmers, soldiers and sailors; merchants hawking their wares, strangely dressed figures riding horses, shouting...

Why is it that only now they seem to be coming to an end? I understand all that you’ve said, or maybe, most of it. I don’t think I have much guilt about anything. Sometimes,there’s a bit of fear, but as you said,hope drives it away. I love my work and I love to share my gifts. I give as much and as often as I can. And often during the day, I stop what I’m doing and take a minute...

The stone or any other talisman is just a focal point for your beliefs. Believe that you inhabit a magical world and the world is full of magic. On the other hand, believe that you live in an evil empire and everything will work together to prove you right.” He ceremoniously passed the pouch back to me.“It’s a wond...
22.	Bookmarks: 0	Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 82 ) As casually as you please, Gideon took the pouch and without even opening it said, “Oh, the Ambrose Stone. Don’t tell me the Boatman of Pondicherry was here.” His voice was so matter-of-fact, as if this sort of thing happened everyday. I glanced at Marla hoping she would say something to sustain my enthusiasm, but she seemed even less amused by my news.“That’s right, Gideon,” she said, “don’t you remember Boatman saying something about giving the Ambr...

I was anxious to ask him about his experiences in the meadow, but thought I’d wait a while. Over breakfast, we discussed my schedule for the week and agreed there would be enough free time to visit some interesting sites in the north, if I felt like it.Still not a word from him about last night, so I brought up the subject.Since I wasn’t sure whether the whole event was the result of my over...

I reached over and grabbed the handset only to find that it was my wake-up call,heralding me to face a new day. The last thing I remembered before falling asleep last night was being in a green meadow with Mardai, the children, Pandayji, Gideon and Marla. How real it seemed then, but now, with daylight streaming through the windows, my rational mind rebelled. It continuously repeated that a dream i...

Pandayji remained behind with Marla and Gideon, engrossed in conversation.“What are our kids doing here? And how come Pandayji is here?” I questioned.Before she could answer, I saw Malika and Jonathan in the moonlight. “Hi Dad,” shouted Malika, “we wanted to surprise you, but Jonathan gave it away.”“No Dad,” Jonathan count...

Time seemed to ebb and flow into hours and days as airports, planes, flight attendants and taxis blended in harmony to transport one solitary traveler to his destination on the other side of the world.Day ran into night and night seemingly stretched into eternity as we droned across the oceans and continents. I must have fallen asleep a number of times before the flight ended.Half groggy, and feeling as though I’d e...

My work sometimes takes me overseas,to different cultures, peoples and places. This time, business was taking me to the land of my ancestors,a land of contradictions, the mysterious subcontinent of India. It would not be my first visit to that country. I’d been there before, as both my children were adopted in India — Malika first, followed by Jonathan a few years later.I had the opportunity, ...

We were sitting on the back porch discussing a letter they’d brought me from a friend. Since then, no word, no communication, no sign from either one of them. It was almost as if eternity itself opened up and swallowed them forever. With these thoughts in mind, I pressed the button for a flight attendant. I had the greatest urge for a steaming cup of coffee.It couldn’t have been more than a few seconds before a flight a...

It’s a long story.”Gideon laughed and announced in a matter-of-fact manner, as if he were telling me about the weather, “Matthias is what you’d cal...

It’ll be a few hours before Gideon arrives.”“I’m looking forward to a wonderful weekend, Marla,” I said as I stretched and ...

To me, this ancient place always conjured up visions of fiercely armed warriors charging across the plains to do battle with opposing armies. It is interesting to observe how some of the most awesome experiences of one’s life could quickly fade into vague memories. Such was the case with my Indian “adventures” as I fell into the routine of daily life again.Every now and then I’d think of Gideon and Marla....
