We live in a time like no other. The physical safety of nations, companies, finances, institutions is threatened in ways that we never imagined. We wake up every morning to frightening news of terrorism, financial decline, crime and environmental destruction. We feel fearful, sad, and isolated in a global universe where nothing seems safe.

Yet we live with hope: A perspective that reminds us that things will change.Wisdom to discover new ideas that will help us survive and prosper in a shared, peaceful world. A deep feeling of commitment to life.

On this fifteenth anniversary of the printing of my first book, Develop Your Psychic Abilities, I find it more important than ever to help people tap into essential parts of themselves to better their lives and give their overwrought and overworked brains a needed rest.In this brave new world, wisdom and perspective are imperative to help us stay vigilant and to change a society that needs new insights and solutions where nothing in the moment seems to be working. This is not some New Age manifesto, nor is it a world chant for peace or a mental list of affirmations to quell inner fears. It is a simple and easy and genuine way of living comfortably in any situation. It is a way of viewing any person or situation realistically, without fear, to find the best solution. It is a way of coming back to yourself so easily, you will wonder why you never experienced life this way before. No magic pill.No mantras.Just using parts of you that are already there.

When used in daily situations, these exercises are so natural,they need not be routinely practiced. They will rather quickly become an unconscious way of perceiving and dealing with people, situations, and decisions you encounter every day. Using wisdom and perspective allows everyone to find an inner, peaceful freedom rather than escape from the threatening outside world.
