Chapter One

The Consciousness Of Energy

Let Us Begin The Energy Of All Beyond Defining I love You Always Satisfaction You Are Limitless Know Yourself

Let Us Begin

Let us begin. In the beginning was the word. This word was made available to every man, woman, and child. This word was grace. It is by grace that you live; it is to grace that you owe your very existence. It is grace that calls you back to herself. I, your maker, the creator of all, call you through grace. I formed you. In my mind I formed you, and I loved you before you took the form you are now in. I love you now.

It is my presence that stirs within you as you admire a beautiful sunset. This is the part of me that resides in you—the part of yourself that you deny. Can you feel that inner stirring as I admire my own handiwork? The awe that you feel—that indescribable joy that you feel at times when you are overcome with the emotion of joy—these are times when you recognise the creation as something of sheer beauty, yet you do not recognise me.

I dwell within you. I am residing within your very spirit—within your life force. Can you feel the love within your blood as it flows through your veins? I am in every cell of your being. I am within your DNA. There is much to look at in the world around you, but it is limited. Look within, beyond limit. The me you find within is infinite. We never end, you and me. We are connected and interwoven; we exist for all eternity. In me all your joys are made full. Beyond time and beyond space, I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You began in me, and you return to me, the source of all. In this way I am the beginning and the end, but truly, as I say unto you, there is no end and no beginning to me. I have always been and will always be, for I am the eternal presence. Nothing exists anywhere in your universe and beyond, except me. I am the All.

The Energy Of All

I am divine consciousness, the energy of all. All that exists is energy, my conscious energy, for I am conscious of all that is. I am conscious of both what is formed and what is not formed.

You are parts of my consciousness within a form. All knowledge and truth of your being lies within you.

Your soul is your consciousness; it is your individual part of me. If you know your soul, you know me.

Your body is the vehicle your soul chose to experience this life with. Your body is the perfect match for all the lessons and experiences your soul wanted for this journey.

Your mind is a receptacle for the knowledge gained by your unique experiences.

I created you as parts of me, and yet you are individuals. I am within you, and you are within me. In that way, you are within each other. I exist in all things and in the absence of things. I am in all.

Beyond Defining

I exist in the silence. I exist in the vastness you constantly try to cover with images, smells, or sounds—anything to feed the hunger of your senses. It is only because of an incessant need for a point of reference that you try to define me.

I am. I am beyond defining.

I cannot be confined, yet I am not beyond experiencing. When you touch my silence and know me, there are no questions, only awareness of infinity, and even beyond awareness I am. Where I am, there is no need for questions, no need for answers, for I am the all of all. I am the highest of the high.

I am beyond definition and beyond naming. Nothing in your limited reality can define me. It is only when your reality becomes one with mine, when your consciousness becomes one with mine, that you know me beyond defining.

You know me beyond defining in that place where you are beyond defining.

I am with you always.

I am with you through all your trials and through all your joys. I am with you always. I am within you. In every experience you have and every hardship you endure, I am with you. I never leave you, yet I do not force my presence upon you. You have free will.

You can choose whether to accept me or deny me. It does not even matter if you do not believe in me. It does not even matter if you consider yourself unworthy; my love for you is constant.

I Love You Always

I love you. My love is all encompassing. Whether you accept me or not, I am with you always. My breath is the very air you breathe; my essence is in every cell of your body. I loved you before you took form. I love you always; regardless of the form you are in or not in.

You were formed by love, and to love you return.

Within my love, you find your existence. Your existence is an expression of my love. Thereby, knowing your very essence, your soul, and your existence, you know my love. I am love; therefore, you know me.

My love is energy so great that it may not be seen, but the effects of my love are visibly evident. My love for you is a zealous love, encompassing all.

Find yourself, and know your true self. I am the love you find. Know yourself as love. Know me.

Satisfaction

Many of you perceive yourselves to be individual beings disconnected to the rest of the world. You believe that you are born and you die, and this lifetime is for you to achieve your goals. These goals are to prove to the world that you are worth something. You also pursue them for your own satisfaction. These achievements may help to make you feel successful in your attempt to show something for your time on earth. Those of you who appear to have successfully achieved your goals spend the rest of your lives in fear of losing them. You are driven to fill the thirst for satisfaction by any means you can, be it in materialism, children, food, alcohol, drugs, or other props promising to fill that void. You may even do countless acts of good works, helping others, believing this is your contribution to the world and in that way finding a sense of satisfaction in your life, yet you are all starving your own souls. You are always wondering what you can do next. You strive for completeness instead of just being satisfied and fulfilled in the knowledge of yourself.

You can never be completely fulfilled until you see through the illusion of separateness and recognise that you are eternal entities, joined in spirit to all.

You are a part of me. You pervade my very essence, and I yours. You are my love. You are not a little, separate being; you are a part of the oneness of all. You are a part of me, and I am a part of you. You are a part of everyone else, and they are a part of you. Together we are one. Whether you believe it or not, it is a truth, and in your innermost being, you know that to be so. For within your innermost being is your soul, and your soul knows you as a spiritual being. The spiritual being that you are is eternal, omniscient, and divine. Your spiritual self knows no separation, only unity with the all. Your spiritual self is one with all. You are limitless.

You Are Limitless

Light and love make up your very being. Listen with your ears, and look with your eyes. To your own self be true, and awaken to who you are. The happiness you seek is within. The freedom you seek is within. The satisfaction and completeness you seek are within. Rejoice in finding fulfilment within, and rejoice in the peace that it brings. Rejoice in me.

Stand in me, in your own divinity, and claim your place within me. Your spirit already knows this place. Your spirit calls this place home.

You cannot earn the keys to the kingdom. These are given in grace to the seeker. Put your soul first before all else. Finding and knowing your soul allows your life to flow according to spirit.

Know Yourself

You have always felt that there was more to life, that something was missing. The awareness of your true self is what is missing. By acknowledging who you are and walking in the way of oneness, you are finally fulfilled and finally home. This is your purpose. This is what you seek. Find yourself, know yourself, and then you know me. Look within. I am within you. Your true being is my home. I dwell in each of you, in all of you. You are all a part of me.

You are my beloved. I care for you. Commune with me.

Chapter Two

The Peace In Knowing Your True Self

Know First Yourself, Know Me Question Yourself Secure In Your Being Life's Game Treasure I Will Lead You I Am Calling You

Know First Yourself, Know Me

Knowing yourself is the first step to freedom—freedom from the need to be right, freedom from the need for materialism and power, freedom from the opinions of others, freedom from negativity, freedom from discontentment, and freedom from illusion. You can know yourself by looking within, finding your truth, and witnessing your old nature as it works to keep you in the darkness through its fear.

Become aware of yourself. Notice your reactions to others and situations. Begin to respond through light rather than react through ego.

Your old nature, reacting from fear, becomes exposed; your new nature, responding from light, becomes your being.

Wake up to yourself. Witness your old nature reacting from fear and trying to protect itself. Your true nature needs no protection. Your true nature cannot be destroyed, for it is invincible.

You who have studied and sought and believe in the oneness of all but do not yet feel in every fibre of your being that you are in all of creation, you are only a breath away from doing so. You may think you are enlightened, and you may see others as yourself most of the time, but when you know the fullness of our unity as it sweeps over and through you, all doubt is gone. You are a part of all creation, even the lowliest of insects and the fiercest beasts. You are a part of it, and you know it.

Know yourself in me; claim the divinity that is yours.

Question Yourself

Know yourself so intimately. Know the reason behind all the emotions you feel, and understand the meaning of these reasons as they relate to you. It is in this way that you question your very being and get to your core. When your core beliefs are exposed, you can then go beyond those beliefs to a place of silence, emptiness, and soul. It is then that you know the truth of your being.

When you know the truth of your existence, I am revealed to you.

When you recognise yourself in me and me in you, only then can you be bold in your divinity. You are in everything as I am. You are in the skies, the mountains, the birds, and all others. You are in me, and I am in all.

Secure In Your Being

Finding your soul wakes you up to your true self. Your true, omniscient self is both free and secure. Having that inner peace and love means you are in harmony with the kingdom within. There is no longer need for external success to validate your existence. You no longer want because you are fully satisfied. You are secure in who you are. You do not need the approval of others, nor do you feel threatened by any criticism. You know your truth, and that is very powerful. You feel safe in the oneness of the universe. The love you feel is reflected in your joy.

It is my love, your love, our love, one love.

Through my grace, you are transformed from one who is lost and looking to find oneself to one who is found, knowing the essence of no self. Your true self cannot be contained in identity; your true self is limitless, powerful, and love.

Your true self is an awareness of me; your true self is awareness of all.

Life's Game

This life is but an illusion. Think of it as a dream and wake up. You have been asleep long enough. It started as a game to subjectively feel creation and its different experiences without remembering that within me you actually created it. You agreed to hide within a body that is ruled by a mind, and the objective of this game was to get the body and mind to find their missing part by looking within. You knew that by looking within, they would discover truth, which would mean that their existence would be then exposed as part of the illusion.

Treasure

Do not be attached to feelings of power, approval, or capitalistic gain. These are empty substitutes for the peace you find within your soul. Seeking happiness, peace, and freedom outside of yourself is fruitless. It is only in fear and desperation that you search for these beyond yourself.

The treasure you seek is within, hidden in plain sight.

The treasure within is yours forever. You can never lose it, and it cannot be stolen from you. It is eternal. You find the material things and egotistical indulgences that you once valued appear shallow in comparison to your internal treasure.

Awake! Awake and become the light of love, peace, happiness, and satisfaction to the others who still grasp outside of themselves.

This is your purpose. Find yourself, and then help others to end their search.

I Will Lead You

Follow me. Follow me, and I will lead you to green pastures. You will not go back to the darkness but forward, gathering more light. Even the valleys that once held darkness for you are now bathed in light. Through your soul, I will lead you to places you do not yet know. Trust me.

Trust me, for within me you dwell, sharing the kingdom of oneness.

Follow the voice of your soul; follow me.

Wisdom and grace flow through you as you become that clear channel of truth and love. Wisdom and love reflect outward from your inner being to those who are floundering, still looking for happiness. You are a beacon of light to those who are not even sure of what they seek, knowing only a void within themselves that cannot be filled. Trust me; follow me.

I Am Calling You

For those of you still feeling as if you are in the darkness, fearful for your own survival, insecure, and trying to protect your self-image, know that the light is real. Become aware of your soul.

Your perceived self-image is the illusion.

The truth that is you has no need for security, for it survives eternally. I am calling you to wholeness through your soul. Listen within your emptiness. Many of you are afraid to look into your own darkness, into your own void. Don't you see that by choosing not to look within, you deny yourself the very existence you have been looking for?

I reside within your soul; your soul resides within me. I call to you through your soul. Attend to my call for your completeness. I love you. Heed the call of your soul. Rest in love. I am calling you.

Chapter Three

The Purpose Of Living

My Love There Is No Randomness In My Creation Reaching Others Comparisons Remembering Your DNA Contains A Message The Final Task

My Love

My love for you is beyond measure. It is beyond your understanding. You understand love on the human level, but love in the fullness of me is many hundreds of times more. You cannot even begin to understand. I am energy, a consciousness, but I am love. You cannot imagine a love greater than any energy you have ever experienced, greater than the energy from your sun, which was also created for you. You cannot possibly know the depth of infinite love at this time, but you will ultimately know that love because that is what you are. When all the illusions have faded into the nothingness they are, there is only love, but not love as you know it; it is pure, unadulterated love. Every hair on your head is counted. Every blade of grass and every delicate feather are all formed from this love. Love considers every minute detail, each intricate pattern of a butterfly's wing, the distinctly different tastes of each herb, and your unique voice.

There Is No Randomness in My Creation

Everything is ordered in perfection, all interrelated, and all part of my ultimate oneness. Each piece has its unique place. This intermeshing of all life on earth correlates to your essential presence above. As above, so below. The fact that many of you still view yourselves as separate beings does not alter the unity of my reality.

Your beliefs may be wrong, but my truth does not need belief to be true.

In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.

We may also process such information about our people (or former people) in the course of our legitimate business activities with the appropriate safeguards.

The special categories of personal data may be used in the following ways:

in relation to leaves of absence, to comply with employment and other laws;

Personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA by processors acting on our behalf.

access to your personal data. This enables you to ask to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
