Bosnian Pyramids

In a recent newsletter, I asked (my guardian angel) Theo about the energy beam coming out of the Sun pyramid in Bosnia, reported in an article. He said: Yes, Tom. The more they explore these pyramids, the more mysteries they must solve. There is energy—a beam emitting from the large pyramid. Certainly there is a connection there with its purpose to be determined by the scientists involved in the research. There were healing chambers as they speculated Tom. There are many more intriguing discoveries they will make over the next few years."

Little did I know at the time that I would be invited by my friend Robert to attend a lecture, last Saturday night, about the pyramids by the gentleman who discovered them—Dr. sci. Semir (Sam) Osmanagich.

May I say that both of us felt it was one of the best and most interesting lectures either of us had ever attended. Dr. Sam, in 2.5 hours, covered the scientific proof of their legitimacy in great detail with photos, references to scientific studies etc. I would compare this to perhaps a lecture by an archeologist in the 1800’s returning to London with perhaps photos and drawings of the Giza pyramids.

Do not believe anyone who tries to claim it isn’t manmade. There has been a concerted effort by the head of Egyptian Antiquities Zahi Hawass, putting pressure on archeologists and scientists in Europe to say the Bosnian Pyramids are a natural phenomena. When one of his own staff visited the pyramids and declared they were manmade, he was fired upon his return to Egypt. His letters to these people, I believe, is a thinly veiled attempt to threaten their future digs in Egypt. And there is the religious backlash, as they can scientifically prove these pyramids are over 10,000 years old. There are religious groups in both Egypt and Bosnia that would claim this is heresy. Plus keep in mind this is big business for the Egyptians.

Up until the recent unrest in Egypt, there was 30 billion dollars in tourism each year. Even if Bosnia was to take 10% of that away, it would amount to 3 billion dollars! That’s why Hawass and the Minister of Tourism and the Minister of Culture had a meeting to discuss just the Bosnian Pyramids.

Having owned an international wholesale tour company myself, I believe the Bosnian Pyramids will carve out their own tourists. I foresee tour groups touring the Eastern Bloc of countries making a one or two day stop for their clients to view the pyramids, before moving on to other tourist destinations, and other tourists making it a longer stay, but still including additional stops.

I bought Sam’s book at the lecture—Ancient History: From Beyond the Veil. In it he enlisted six readers of the Akashic Records to give information on not only the Bosnian Pyramids, but also the Giza Pyramids and several others around the world. What I find pleasing about this is a scientist’s attempt to work hand in hand with spirit to discover the answers and point the way for his efforts.

In the book, Lois J. Wetzel, whose book Akashic Records I have previously recommended to you, did a reading for Dr. Sam. She received that he came from another universe, so I decided to ask Theo about this.

Tom: Theo, did Dr. Semil Osmanagich come from another universe to this one?

Theo: Yes Tom. That report is fairly accurate. His is an old soul who came to this universe, and got caught up in the earth experiment. He has had over 800 lives on earth, a very seasoned soul as you have deduced. He was the creator—builder involved in the construction of those pyramids, as they were designed for spiritual reasons beyond your normal 3rd dimensional understanding at this time. Those secrets will slowly be revealed in the coming years, thanks to his and others’ efforts and work. And as you can imagine one day those pyramids will be just as important and just as visited as those in Egypt. They are limited in their ability to house tourists, but that will soon be rectified, as not just one, but several hotel facilities will see the business to be had, along with creating other things to do of a more touristy nature shall we call it.

Tom: One question not on the list. He was advised to concentrate on the interiors of the pyramids and not so much the exterior, but shouldn’t there be continuous work on both, as revealing more and more of the face will bring that much more recognition.

Theo: Yes Tom. He should continue to have a portion of the people, along with perhaps some earth front end loaders as they are called, plus a couple of trucks to haul the dirt away, so that more and more of the pyramid will be displayed. That will bring more scientists and more tourists, which he can also begin charging to visit and have guided tours. There will soon be a great shift in perception by the public and archeologists who have been threatened by the Egyptians, who are protecting their “turf,” shall we say to disparage his work.

Tom: Have I had any lives with Dr. Semil before?

Theo: Yes, of course. You were involved far back in time Tom, and are quite familiar with these pyramids. You have had several lives where your paths crossed and even worked together, again because of your soul’s interest in religions and spiritual things.

12 Steps to Recovery from Codependency Traits Part 2

I am suggesting a full blown codependent personality separates by 12 degrees maximum from their true inner self or others. With each degree of recovery from codependency you become one degree closer to a healthy connection with your inner self and others.

To sum up a codependent personality:
· Puts others needs before their own
· They deny their own feelings and needs
· Their self-esteem depends on how well they take care of others

The 12 core codependent traits come from the work of John Bradshaw: The Family. See another 4 core codependent traits. How many degrees of separation do you find yourself in codependent relationships?

5. Do you tolerate increasing intolerable behavior?
  • Are you growing more addicted to something or someone?
  • Do you continue staying in an abusive relationship?
  • Are you becoming physically or emotionally sick because of an unhealthy relationship?
Tip for Recovery: Begin setting personal boundaries by saying No. Talk to friends. You may at some point have to gain enough courage to leave a relationship, if it doesn’t improve. 

6. Do you practice emotional repression? 
  • Do you often feel numb or unaware of what you feel?
  • Do you seldom express your feelings?
  • Do you sometimes have outbursts of rage, experience fear a lot or panic attacks?
  • Do you fear anger?
Tip for Recovery: Start to become aware of and begin expressing your feelings, if only in a journal or to friends.

7. Do you tend to live in your head?
  • Do you want to figure everything out?
  • Do you think about your problems rather than taking action?
  • Do you worry a lot?
  • Do you obsess over details?
Tip for Recovery: Begin to trust yourself. Become aware of what you feel in your body – our body never lies. Begin to trust your first impressions, your heart, and your intuition.

8. Do you tend to be willful?
  • Do you use your personal will to make something happen?
  • Do you find yourself wanting to control others or events?
  • Do experience difficulty making decisions?
Tip for Recovery: Practice, slowly at first, totally surrendering to the reality of what a situation is or to the way a person is. At some point you may realize you can only change yourself.

We can only do our best and learn from our mistakes to do better next time.

Do you identify with any of the above codependent traits? Practice at least one tip daily.

Next week read Part 3 for how to recognize and begin recovery for the last 4 core codependent traits.

Tip 9: You Are Here to Do Something Beautiful  

“Your holiness blesses the world” - A Course in Miracles

I don’t believe that you are here randomly, just by some combination of molecules and reactions. You are more than biological, you are an emotional and spiritual being.

I believe you have made a promise to be here, now.

You were born carrying a promise to make this world better in some way, and there is a yearning in you to make good on that promise, and you can’t suppress that yearning forever. You are being inspired to awaken, as millions of others are, and the goal of resistance is to stop you and keep you asleep.

Freedom project: Honour the preciousness of your creation. Spend time with others who are awake or awakening and who make you feel good about yourself.
thing that will most fulfil you as you start doing it.

KEM - Sophisticated, Sexy, Soulful and Spiritual


Don't know KEM? Well, then let me introduce you to this American success story.

From Kem's Website (Because I can't tell his story better myself):

"It has been said that his music feeds the soul, but KEM's journey is equally, if not more, inspirational. R&B Singer/Songwriter/Producer KEM's love of music began as a child. Music saw him through the darkest moments in his life, took him to the top of the industry's record charts, and earned him a record deal with Universal Motown Records.A self-taught musician, KEM was born in Nashville and raised in Detroit, the birthplace of Motown Records. "I wanted to make music all of my life. I started playing piano when I was five," he recalls.
 
Several years after high school, his life took a downward turn, and he eventually found himself in and out of drug rehab and shelters. He dove into his music during those times, and he remembers, "They would have to kick me off the piano every night in one shelter." He hit rock bottom when he awoke one night sleeping outside after breaking shelter rules, and he became determined to clean up his act.

While waiting tables, singing at weddings and at any gig in town, he continued to write and record his music. In March of 2002, KEM independently released his first CD, KEMISTRY (Album I) and sold more than 10,000 CD's before piquing the interest of Universal Motown.

"I want to be a vehicle to let people know that they can have
anything they want," he says. KEM's faith is a testament that you can achieve your dreams. The label signed KEM to a five-record deal and debuted KEMISTRY, which grabbed the attention of a multi-generational/multi-ethnic/cross gender audience - to the tune of over 500,000 CD's sold.

The first single on KEMISTRY, "Love Calls," garnered over 50,000 spins on Urban Adult Radio stations (UAC) which positioned it as the 2nd most played record in 2003 and the most played record of 2004. KEM previewed KEM ALBUM II before audiences during his 20-city Underground Tour for fan feedback. Fans anxiously awaited the first hit single "I Can't Stop Loving You." The CD was certified gold after only two weeks of release in May 2005.


KEM's popularity continued as he debuted at #5 on the Pop Albums charts. His consecutive four week #1 at Urban AC streak- made him one of the highest charted artists of the year. The hit single, "I Can't Stop Loving You" was designated Radio & Records' and Billboard's #1 Adult R&B Record of the Year for 2005. He was also named Radio & Records' #2 R&B Artist for 2005. Motown re-released the CD as a dual disc with a DVD featuring KEM's video and second hit single, "Find Your Way (Back in My Life)." He also received two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Male Artist and Outstanding Song, "I Can't Stop Loving You."

In addition to headlining national and international tours, KEM has shared the stage with: Fantasia; Rahsaan Patterson; Ruben Studdard; Vivian Green; Goapele; Rachelle Farrell; Chaka Khan; and Kindred Family Soul. He participated heavily and performed during Super Bowl XL sponsor events in Detroit. He has also performed on the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage Cruise; Steve Wonder's Room Full of Toys; Essence Music Festival in New Orleans; Black Music Month at the White House; and at Carnegie Hall for an event curated by Jessye Norman. Most recently, he had the honor of performing at one of the inaugural events for President Barack Obama's cabinet members.

KEM's musical talent has been solicited by many artists and filmmakers. He wrote and performed, "Tonight," which is included on the soundtrack of the Tyler Perry movie, "Madea's Family Reunion." And KEM's remake of Nat King Cole's song, "Fascination" is featured in the Antonio Banderas movie, "Take the Lead."

Today KEM takes the opportunity to minister through his music, sharing his life's journey at every concert. He testifies openly about overcoming alcohol addiction and drug use and touts his sobriety since 1990.

Kem's story is truly inspiring. If anyone out there is waiting tables, writing nights and weekends while they work a regular job during the day, or just questioning if their creative talents have a shot in this crazy world, just listen to Kem's music and re-read his story and know that if he can do it, so can you!

Kem's CD's never find their way out the 6 pack in my car. I've been listening to his music for years and never get tired of it. Every time I'm in the car, I tell myself that I need to review his CDs on my blog and tell the world about his music. Every day, I forget. Today, is the day I'm making it happen!

Like the title of this blog piece suggests, his music is magical- Sophisticated, Sexy, Soulful and Spiritual. The music is original (not re-cycled like we typically hear on the radio). It's not computer generated. It's the real deal...keyboards, guitar, sax on occasion, drums, and a voice that is an instrument unto itself. Kem's lyrics transport you into another world and make you remember what real love feels like.They remind you of the old days of Motown when songs had meaning--songs that you remembered for a lifetime. 

If you've been having a hard time finding music to mirror your own inner transformation, listen to Kem's albums and you'll find a kindered spirit who had the courage to share his creative genius with the world.

Just think, what if he gave up on himself? We wouldn't have the most amazing music we have today. When doubt creeps into your life, read Kem's story again and see living proof that anything is possible.

Explore Beyond the Usual gives all of Kem's albums 4 stars!

The Tipping Point


My feet are so cold
From Alaska’s long winter
of incessant snow falls
and grey skies.
I tuck each foot into
the opposite knee
and tailor sit.
They warm to the
yummy tipping point
of comfort.

We have marched
on cold feet for millennia.
No time to stop and contemplate,
to tailor sit and warm ourselves
until now.

2012 is the tipping point,
if we so choose.
Where time has speeded up,
and truly warns us to slow down.

To sit quietly, enjoying the warmth
of inviting the light into our bodies
all the way down to our toes.

This great tipping point
is Tera’s choice, joining
the Milky Way
for more light here.

The balance between
the light and dark
is tipping
towards light and love.
And ever, in a free will zone
we get to choose
how we see,
how we feel
and how we express that.

The light radiates from
Source within each of us
Not from the leaden sky’s
leaking frozen tears,
but from within our hearts,
from our souls
seeing the truth
of who we are.
Another loving aspect of Source
expressing the light.

More Conversations with a Guardian Angel

Now for some questions that I posed to my Guardian Angel, who I said in my previous article we have agreed on a name of Theo, since I would not be able to pronounce his angelic name.

Tom: Do my guides communicate with me directly or through you Theo?

They actually communicate through me, sort of like uploading information into a computer and then it is downloaded as whispers in your ear and thoughts. You are noticing it now much more than you did before. Most people never recognize when they are being given some information out of nowhere.

Tom: How many angels are in charge of you at dreamtime—one or more?

There is only one angel assigned so to speak to guide you to where you are needed or want to go. Your soul has complete knowledge of where it wants you to go and what to experience during dreamtime. As you know, certain dreams are to assist you physically in some way and others are to review the day’s events, and others are to give you a glimpse of the future, but in symbolic terms, which you understand on a soul level, but most of the time find hard to interpret in your waking state.

Tom: Did these angels volunteer for his service as you did?

Yes of course. Each part of the process requires angelic help and so these angels, or souls if you will, volunteer their services out of love. It’s just that simple.

Tom: Where do we go? [When we dream]

Sometimes across the universe and other times you stay very close by, especially if you are somewhere that you must be able to awake in a second, especially if your life could be in danger. That sleep time is not as restful as when you are able to fully experience what you need during dreamtime.

Tom: Why do the dream angels always use the symbology of getting on a plane to fly back?

Because that is what is acceptable to everyone—taking a trip in an airplane.

Tom: OK Theo, were you created by this creator of our universe or before he created this?

I was created before and was drawn to this work at virtually the very beginning. That was a long time ago even in our concepts, yes? Yes, millions of years, but there is as you remember, only linear time for you here. There is no time for us, so everything happens at a furious rate, which is indescribable to someone in 3d.

Tom: So who created you?

I was created by another creator that allowed us the freedom to seek our own way and be attracted to other creations, if that was what we wanted to do. There was absolutely no control.

Tom: Theo in my dreamtime why do I have a penis erection sometimes and at other times not, even though it’s not a sexual dream?

As you guessed Tom, a penis erection has to do with where you go Tom. It’s hard to explain at this time to you but yes, you go to certain places in dreamtime where you experience the penis erection here because various forces are at play as you are taken there and back again.

Tom: Is it because I visit somewhere on earth or is it because I visit a certain planet or what?

No it has to do more with earth experiences and not another planet. Time enters into the equation too. You mentioned time as being involved in a dream, which produces a penis erection.

Tom: What did you mean by that?

When you shift in your dream to a completely different time, your body reacts to that internally while you have gone into another completely different time period. It is very complicated to explain, since you do not have a science background, but your body does change while you are in this particular type dream.

Tom: It would seem that we shift to another time period in each dream.

No, when you go to study or to do other things, you are or you have a basis or the cord is attached with no outside influences. But when you dream another time then the cord is affected in a way that affects your physical body.

Tom: What other types of activities do we do in dreamtime including exploring our problem solving for others? Why don’t our souls do this?

Your soul is much too busy with its own affairs and so it sends you which is a piece of itself during your sleep hours out across the universe to learn, to experience, to assist, and all this brings back knowledge to your soul which eventually—actually instantaneously--gives more knowledge to the Creator. This is a very complex process, which is something that people will slowly understand more, as more experiments are done and more work is done to learn dream symbols.

Tom: When a guardian angel does make a physical appearance in time of crisis, does the angel just choose a form that works then or does the angel choose a form from one of that person’s pats lives?

An interesting question and as you can imagine it has a number of answers. First normally the forms chosen are of the guardian angel’s choice in order to fit the situation, but yes there are times when the guardian angel feels that hat person will be in a heightened state of awareness and will recognize someone on a subliminal level from a past life and will feel more comfortable about this appearance out of nowhere so to speak. As I mentioned before, this is a very complex event and has as many answers.

Tom: How many years in the future will you perform your service for someone?

I perform this service up to about 7,000 years in the future. That’s a very long time for earth to continue.

Tom: What will you do after your services are no longer needed on earth?

Ah, that is a grand question. I do have other choices, but I have not been attracted to them yet. Yes, there are other worlds—one in particular—that could use my services. So I do have that option. Or I might be drawn to have earth lives myself, but I doubt that. So we will see.

Tom: Do you act as my conscience?

Yes, in the way that you mean, I do. We, your guides and me, are always sending you information and feelings to take a higher road or the best road for you, the best path the best direction. As this is a free choice world, many, many times you—meaning humans in general—do not heed these messages in your ear and proceed down a path that causes you much heartache. Yet, your soul learns more when you do this, even though you many times pick up great karma in doing so that must be taken care of in a future life. So yes we do seemingly act as your conscience, although this is all part of the service we perform. This is just a label that has been used for centuries.

Tom: Theo, how do you handle a situation in which a contract calls for someone to be killed at an early age like the one I lived early in WW 2?

I handle it the same Tom as all the other contracts that call for someone to not live to be or die at an old age. My job is to take care of them until that time and to assist in actually setting up or pushing them along to be where they are supposed to be so that the event will happen. That may sound a little callous, but keep in mind these are soul contracts and my job is to give aid and comfort as much as possible until the time of death.

Tom: Do you meet me at my time of passing?

Yes I’m there with many other spirits to greet you and in forms that will be recognizable to you. You will have a crowd this time like no other.

Tom: Are there angels actually assigned or volunteer for death duty or is this simply done by you and my guides?

No there are loving angels that assist in this death process Tom. There are many jobs to be performed on this side of the veil for you and death duty is one of them, as these angels have great compassion and love and are able to transform themselves into whatever form your belief system calls for to assist in the transition.

Tom: Will I need much time to recuperate after this life, or after reviewing this life will I jump into preparations for the next one?

You will need some time to adjust to the fact that you are not hindered by an old decrepit body, so yes there will be some time as you adjust back to the vibrant soul or portion of one that you are. You will just not need as much as the normal soul fragments or soul pieces. Understanding and knowledge will not have to be so dramatic and seemingly long lasting, as say for your friends that only believe in heaven as taught by the church. So yes is the answer that you will take time to recuperate and see all your old friends. It is the time to do that and enjoy each other’s company unencumbered by being veiled.

Tom: You mentioned meeting with guides before each birth yet lives happen simultaneously, so how can all these meetings happen at the same time?

Yes this is difficult to explain in 3d. They have the appearance to you of being one life after another, as there has to be some linear correlation.. Therefore although there is technically no time on this side of the veil, there has to be a division between this Nirvana, and the activities that go on there, and the activities that go on, on a soul level. It is very complicated, but there is still separateness after your death and before the next life. Perhaps that is not a complete answer, but very close to explain why each time feels like an ending and preparation for a new beginning.

Tom: What form do you take during my life preparations or do any of us have a form?

Yes you do take on a form that is convenient. It is more an energy form than a human looking form. By then you will have passed the need to look like a human form and can be the energy that you are. You have great energy so your form gives off very beautiful colors unique to you, as you must remember that there are color spectrums that are far beyond those of earth.

Tom: I read that master Kirael says that we have a higher self, then soul group and then oversoul. Is that how it is?

In a simplified way yes.

Tom: So what is a higher self?

It is simply your connection to the group of souls and onto your oversoul, which is the main part of the soul.

Tom: Theo, what are Cherubim?

These sweet energies we will call them are the Creator’s children so to speak. They bring joy to everyone. They have no purpose other than to bring laughter, and love and playfulness everywhere they go. They keep us happy and greatly enjoy their company.

Tom: Is my soul group all part of one soul or a group of several souls?

Your soul group is all from your one soul. You soul created this group for you to interact with each other. And your soul group interacts with other soul groups so that you can take part at times in each other’s activities. Complicated, but that’s the basis of how this works Tom.

Tom: I thought these were different souls.

No, you have to have a soul group with extremely close interests and the way that is achieved is to have this as a sub group made up by your oversoul.

Tom: What is the difference between you and an Archangel?

More in knowledge and abilities Tom, just as Gaia has mastered some things, these masters are great masters with amazing knowledge and understanding.

Tom: This was one morning after I had asked questions of Gaia.Theo, I’m sure you’re listening.

And yes, joyfully Tom. I enjoy your exchanges with Gaia. You can’t see what I see when you speak with this wonderful soul. Beautiful colors and energies.

Tom: (Two days later) :You mentioned that Gaia had beautiful colors or gave them off when speaking with me. Since you are both whole souls, why was that important to mention to me, and what would be the difference in colors to you, being a whole soul?

Ah an interesting question Tom. Gaia, as you have deduced, is a soul that is a master of quantum mechanics and other mastery as well. Gaia therefore has beautiful colors that emanate from her because of the vibration that she already has attained. Because she has taken on such enormous challenges, she has been able to raise her vibration, as you call it, to another level. I think you understand what I’m saying to you. Therefore, I find these colors beautiful and worth mentioning to you, since you are not able to see them yourself. My job is to take care of you and assist you in learning and answering your questions when you have them about such things.

Tom: Any questions or information I haven’t asked that people would want to know about Guardian Angels?

Only to remind everyone that you have so much assistance on this side of the veil. Request Benevolent Outcomes, and ask for assistance in your work and in your relationships to let us guide you along the best path. We always have your best interests at heart, as we love you dearly.

Are You Out of Alignment? Choice Point Book Review

I knew by the sound of my wheels something wasn’t quite right. I’ve been commuting to Boston every morning and sitting in my car for hours on end. When you spend that much time driving, you notice when your vehicle is doing strange things. It was that damn speed bump at the Comfort Inn, I said to myself. I’m out of balance!

Over the weekend, I took my car to a local tire shop and spent over an hour sitting on oil stained waiting room seats watching ESPN, which I could care less about. I finally found the remote, pressed mute and started reading the new book I had just picked up at Barnes and Noble…Choice Point – Align Your Purpose by Harry Massey and David Hamilton.

Immediately, the book caught my attention as I started reading about communicating and aligning with the current energy patterns in the Universe to flow into my life purpose. I was intrigued. I thought I had overdosed on books about finding a life purpose, but these authors had a new twist using quantum physics concepts (entanglement and the observer effect) to form new patterns or fractals. They made me think about my own life path and asked if I liked where I was going or if I wanted to move in a new direction.

The term Choice Point is borrowed from physics. The authors say, “It is a place of branching or forking. It is a point of possibility. We can also think of it as a fork that creates another road. The idea behind Choice Point is that we can choose which of those two roads to travel down. If we make the same choices that we have made in the past, then we will choose the road that will lead us to the same problems, only on a larger scale.”

You can tell when you’re at a Choice Point. Your life starts making noises—like my car. First pings, then clunks, then break down if you choose not to listen. Or maybe it won’t break down. Maybe you’ll just go on doing what you’ve always done with the same ole clunker of a fractal life pattern you’ve created for yourself. If you want change, then read on.

The book is arranged into three sections: Part 1-Understand Your World which about understanding cycles and patterns in your personal life and those on a global scale. The next section is called Align Your Purpose, which takes you to the next level. Once you observe the cycles and patterns in your own life and in the world, the book talks about the importance of aligning with theses cycles so you can provide the services you came her to perform. Finally, Part 3 is called Be the Change where you step into your power to effect positive change in the world. Think of it as Observation, Commitment, and Action to align with your life purpose.

The authors interviewed people most would think lead successful lives such as John Paul DeJoria, Richard Branson, and Peter Buffet. Rather than just a How to Find Your Life Purpose concept book, the authors let these people tell their own story about how they became the change they wanted to see.

There’s nothing like a true story that holds my attention.

As I was reading, the mechanic told me my car was ready. He informed that he balanced my tires but I should think about getting some new ones and provided me with an estimate for $800.00. Ugh.

I drove away and noticed the problem wasn’t resolved with just balancing. Maybe he was right. I thought. Maybe it’s time for tires with new treads. I equated the experience of tire balancing with a massage. A massage might feel good for a little while but it doesn’t really fix the underlying problem.

I called around for tire prices and ended up in the waiting room of another tire shop continuing to read my book. I was told, “We can put new tires on your car but you need an alignment."

I told him I just had them balanced. “Doesn’t matter,” he said. “We’re putting on new tires. We can balance them but what you really need is an alignment.”

There’s that word again, I thought.

“What’s the difference?” I asked (clearly more of an accountant/writer rather than a tire/car girl).

“An alignment measures and adjusts the suspension of the vehicle to set the direction the wheels point and the angle of contact with the road and how these change when turning. Suspensions that are not adjusted properly can cause excessive tire wear and reduced control of the vehicle. This condition can be both annoying and unsafe.”

Interesting, I thought. Essentially he was telling me I need to point the wheels of my life in a new direction. Otherwise, life will become annoying and unsafe.

He went on, “Balancing spins the wheel to make sure the wheel and tire assembly does not have a heavy spot. Things that spin fast but are not balanced can vibrate violently. This is can be annoying and unsafe. In some cases, it can cause the wheel to fall off.”

Sounds like the romantic relationship I was dealing with where the wheels were about to the fall off because we hit a heavy spot. We weren’t vibrating violently yet but that could be the next step if we continued with the same pattern.

I wondered, Is it worse to be out of balance or out of alignment? I was at a Choice Point in the road.

Thinking I wanted to align myself with the experience of having a safe ride to work, I conceded and went for the full package, “Go ahead. Balance and align me.”

While I waited, I asked myself, Are you aligned with the things, people, energy you want to attract in your life? Are you participating in the current world cycle by providing a service in alignment with your life purpose?

In some ways Yes, in some ways No. Honestly, I have one foot in both worlds—my past cycle and my current cycle. Somewhere along the way, there was a shift in my life purpose and only half of me was willing to go along with it and my vehicle was reflecting this.

Overall, I loved the book but I have to admit, the last three chapters hit a speed bump and didn’t keep my attention through to the end. I think the book slipped out of balance at that point. But overall, Choice Point is definitely worth reading and aligning with.
