Origins of Book
Tries to help the reader answer three
important questions:
Who am I?

4. Poem that inspired the book
Solitude
Solitude is a conceptual, not a situational, state.
It is the psychic deprivation or alienation of love's
primordial nature
potentially residing in every sentient being within our
universe.
Yet, it still exists within the clamorous effervescence
of crowds.
As in a magical paradox, this feeling of isolation
disappears spontaneously
when we enter the solace of our inner silence,
which makes us feel nurtured and satiated by the pure
essence of Love.

5. Poem that inspired the book
After you try this indescribable delicacy,
there comes a new way to look at the infinite and variable
manifestations of apparent reality,
that allows us to observe them without judging their illusory
purposes and results.
This new vision, born of our hearts and from all beings among
our universe,
dissolves all traces of suffering away from ourselves
when we realize Happiness has always been within us on this
timeless path.

11. My Take on the 3 Questions.
Who am I?
I am a being of light (Love), with unlimited
dimensional manifestations of Love and
Life. Within these exists my transitory
experience in time, matter, and space
(Human being). This experience allows me
to use my free will in the process of co-creation,
in a co-responsible way.

12. My Take on the 3 Questions
Where do I come from?
I am the son/daughter of the Great Big
Bang of Love that created the universe. I
share the lineage that brings us together in
its inexorable womb, which manifests itself
in all the infinite dimensions, and that
allows me to participate in the infinite
process of co-creation with a loving, co-responsible
attitude.

13. My Take on the 3 Questions
Where am I going?
I'm trying to remember my way back to
my true home (the house of my Father,
the Garden of Eden), after realizing my
inheritance as a Son of God. And I go
home, full of wisdom, acquired through
my experience in the School Of Life.
What a Joyful Feeling!

knows.
