CHAPTER 1

January 1


Creating a new way of life


We are living in a very exciting and powerful time. On the deepest level of consciousness, a radical spiritual transformation is taking place. On a worldwide level, we are being challenged to let go of our present way of life and create an entirely new one. We are, in fact, in the process of releasing our old world and building a new world in its place.

The change begins with each individual, but as more and more individuals are being transformed, the mass consciousness is increasingly affected, and the results will be manifested in the world around us.


Each day I am creating my life anew.


January 2


As the new emerges, the old gives way


For many people, this time may be distressing because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse. It's as if many things that used to work are not working anymore.

Painful though it may be at times, these changes are part of a "healing crisis" taking place in our world. The simple truth is that the old way of life never brought us the deep fulfillment, satisfaction, and joy that we have always sought. We must let go of the old forms which limit us or don't fit anymore in order to make way for the new.


I release the old and make way for the new.


January 3


Looking within


The old world was based on external focus. We had come to believe that the material world was the only reality. Thus, feeling essentially lost, empty, and alone, we have continually attempted to find happiness through addiction to external things such as money, material possessions, relationships, work, fame, food, and drugs.

Today, as we begin to remember our fundamental spiritual connection, we can look within for the source of our satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment.


I find my spiritual connection within.


January 4


Return to kindergarten


Our first task in building the new world is to admit that our "life education" has not necessarily taught us a satisfying way to live. We suffer from a vague sense that there must be something more, some deeper meaning. We must "return to kindergarten" and start to learn a way of life that is contrary to the way we approached things before — a way of life based on trust of our own inner truth.


I am learning a new way of life.


January 5


The creative power within


The new world is being built as we open to the higher power of the universe and consciously allow that creative energy to move through us. As each of us connects with our spiritual awareness, we learn that the creative power of the universe is within us. We also learn that we can create our own reality and take responsibility for doing so.


The creative power of the universe is now flowing through me.


January 6


Create your life the way you want it


Many of us have had the attitude that life is something that happens to us and that all we can do is make the best of it. It is basically a victim's position, giving power to people and things outside of ourselves. We are beginning to realize that the power rests in us, that we can choose to create our life the way we want it to be.


I am now creating my life the way I want it to be.


January 7


A prosperous world


There is more than enough to go around for every being on earth if we are willing to open our minds to that possibility and change our ways of using the world's resources.

We can all be naturally prosperous, in a way that is balanced and harmonious with one another and with the earth that nourishes us.


I am creating balanced, harmonious prosperity in my life.


January 8


Open your eyes to goodness, beauty, and abundance


Imagine yourself as a successful, satisfied, prosperous, fulfilled person. Really open your eyes to the goodness, beauty, and abundance that are all around you. Imagine this world transformed into a healthy and prosperous environment in which everyone can flourish.


Today I am fulfilled, successful, and prosperous.


January 9


Emptiness is filled from the inside


When we are most unhappy, we have a starved feeling in some way. We feel that life in general and other people in particular are not giving us what we need. We try desperately to grasp the love and satisfaction that we crave from the outside. Yet we are actually choking off the supply.

The new world is based on trust of the universe within us. We recognize that the creative intelligence and energy of the universe is the fundamental source of everything. Once we connect with this and surrender to it, everything is ours. Emptiness is filled from the inside.


I am being filled from the source within me.


January 10


Our guiding force


Once we acknowledge the higher power of the universe, the obvious question arises — "How can we contact this power, or gain access to it?" The knowingness that resides in each of us can be accessed through what we call our intuition. By learning to contact, listen to, and act on our intuition, we can directly connect to the higher power of the universe and allow it to become our guiding force.


The higher power of the universe is guiding my life through my intuition.


January 11


The intuitive mind


The intuitive mind has access to an infinite supply of information. It is able to tap into a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom — the universal mind. It is also able to sort out this information and supply us with exactly what we need, when we need it. Our role is to listen to our intuition, trust its guidance, and learn to act on it step-by-step in our lives.


I trust my intuitive guidance.


January 12


A wise being lives inside of you


There is a wise being living inside of you. It is your intuitive self. Focus your awareness into a deep place in your body, a place where your "gut feelings" reside. You can communicate with it by silently talking to it, making requests, or asking questions. Then relax, don't think too hard with your mind, and be open to receiving answers. These messages are usually very simple, relate to the present moment, not to the past or future, and they feel right.


I trust the wisdom inside of me.


January 13


Step-by-step, we are shown the way


Though the message of the intuitive self may come through a bit at a time, if we learn to follow the supply of information piece by piece, the necessary course of action will unfold. As we learn to rely on this guidance, life takes on a flowing, effortless quality. Our life, feelings, and actions interweave harmoniously with those of others around us.


Moment by moment, I'm learning to trust the flow of my life.


January 14


Trust your feelings and act on them


Trust the deepest feelings that you get and act on them. If they are truly from your intuition, you will find that they lead to a feeling of greater aliveness and power and more opportunities begin to open up. If you don't feel more alive...
