I stumbled on your page this evening, and felt truly inspired. I am planning on following in your footsteps. I would like to ask 2 questions: Do you ask people who find the book to re-distribute it themselves if they feel inspired to? Do you offer a way for people who find the book and want to share their experience to contact you? I think that's all I need to ask. Thank you, Roy Kirkland, Oak Park, IL 60302 USA Hi Roy Thanks for your kind message.. In answer to your questions; 1) yes i like to have The Book Of Todays being read, so please if you find one, please read and pass on, or keep for yourself, it does not really matter...as long as it is being read and not just sitting on a bookshelf gathering dust. 2) Yes we can contact via e-mail and I am going to re-build the site to expand shared communications, so any ideas, feedback is welcome. If you have not discovered the book yet, I am more than happy to freely send you one. love and light Anton in Ubud, Bali Hi Anton,
I want to thank you for your reply, and again express my gratitude for your sharing of this wonderful inspiration. I really do not think any ideas are necessary, the concept is so simple and easy that to add anything or make is more specific and precise would do far more harm than good, I think. I will be glad to send feedback and contribute in any way I can when the new site is up. I only suggest that it be simple. As things are right now, the whole concept is laid out right there, and that's something that touches the heart. I think it's important that the inspiration for the verses come from within. I would hate to see them manufactured and sold at department stores on the discount rack. I can't imagine being in a more beautiful place than Bali. The abundance of nature and spirit must be truly awesome. I am currently trying to eke out my way in the suburban US, but luckily live in the town that houses the Hemingway museum, Frank Lloyd Wright's old workshop, and many architectural masterpieces, as does downtown Chicago. Of course both are works of spirit, but I do miss the forestland and the different range of sensory experience. Of course I would like to find one of the books, but it may serve better for you to leave it somewhere. And again, I could start my own flow by leaving the one you send me as my first return to the flow of inspiration, in which case my address is: Roy Kirkland I don't know how I stumbled upon your website tonight, but google and a few clicks lead me to your book. Indeed, I am searching for exactly what you share: an awareness of the joy of originality. I will find my creative life purpose only once I can sustain awareness; but I find an increasingly difficult time escaping the rut that stunts my growth. I am at the threshold between a long childhood and adulthood. I can choose positivity and fulfilling my life purpose or I can just continue following a path society has paved.
I need motivation. I need strength to pursue whatever feels right. I need my mind present at every moment and not wandering around in daydreams. I need the right environment. Like you, I write many affirmations. I feel as if I am molding the person I want to be with pen and paper. I allow my soul to speak through words. If you had any words you would share with me I would hold them very special. Thank you for doing what you love to do, and I hope you continue to be joyful and share it with every soul in your presence. LD ---------- Dear Loredana I commend you for seeking your truth. I of course cannot lead you for I am a simple student of life too. All I can say is what has helped me......ask within.....listen to the quiet voice within...or it may be a feeling or intuition from the heart. Most of what we think about is loud and raucous ...ego based...let that come and go......then..work out your own way to listen to the Source, God, All That Is, (its all the same, does not matter what symbol of word we use), and you are part of it......that's guidance from truth and we all need you and everybody to fully express their loving truth. I am you and you are me. I am happy and honoured to send you the little book I'm writing now, all i ask is if you accept, once you are finished with it, no matter how long that is, you pass it on, leave it on a train, or a park bench, anywhere other than gathering dust in a book shelf. If you would like it, just let me know where to send it too. with peace, love and light ----------- I would be honored to receive your book and participate in the spreading of your joy. I believe strongly in natural laws and feel as though I and a string of other people around me could find direction, though not answers, from your words. Answers, like you said, come from within; but a source of light, like that of your book, is most helpful. You, your website, your book, your response, your energy have helped guide me back on my path. For myself, the key to staying focused is to constantly ask for and seek awareness. When I am feeling lost, I need only acknowledge the feeling and within time a guiding light will somehow enter my life. This is a very special time me; in five months I will graduate college. I am very fortunate to have many opportunities before me, which makes it of dire importance that I seek my own truth. Perhaps before mailing the book you could scribble down on a piece of scrap paper something extra for me to keep and remember you by? I will remember what you have done for me, and will seek only to spread it to whomever I can. I enjoy being a part of the source with you. With infinite gratitude, Loredana ------ 22/07/2010 Anton, Since adapting to a new e-mail address, I don't check this one as often. I apologize for the delayed response, but yes, I did receive your book long ago. I still have it by my bedside. It is not collecting dust, I open it quite frequently, but I have not been able to part with it yet. My spiritual search has continued unbridled, and I am amazed at how many different voices have responded to my calling. Recently I met someone who emphasized the importance of mediation. I have found that mediation makes it easier to hear our voice within, the one you spoke of in previous emails. Indeed, by listening to this voice, all things begin to unfold. I feel happy and at peace with not knowing the course my life will take. Through people like you our world is beginning to replace greed and unconsciousness with love and gratitude. This email correspondence is proof that this new age is taking shape all over the globe. It seems you are speaking a universal language that more and more people are learning. I have long considered myself merely an onlooker, but I am realizing I am a student that can help others as well. In retrospect, I feel a tinge of selfishness that I have kept your book for so long. But I do believe that everything happens for a reason, and perhaps I was always meant to pass it along today. And today someone in the Chicagoland area will receive your words. May your path open to all that seek your insight. With infinite gratitude, Loredana I found one of your books, number 45 it seemed, at Flinders Train Station. I had been having a shit week. A shit 2 week perhaps and I had lost that magic in life and not only could I not see it in myself, I could not see it in the people around me. I felt as though something huge had just dropped out of my reality and I couldn't find it anywhere. I found your book, and it just screamed at me to pick up, take away with me, read and enjoy. It reminded me of the magic in myself, the people and I know and the people I don't. It was a real pick up on a day that had started so miserable, yet a day that I had started with the intention of finding whatever it was I had dropped along the way, whatever it was I had let go of! It was a brilliant start on my journey and I think that your little (big?) words of wisdom are brilliant and it really reminded me to look inside for what I am looking for because I know it is there. So, I guess I just wanted to let you know your book #45 made it into appropriate hands and to say thanks cause it brightened my day and my week! I have your book. Im pretty sure. But it doesnt look the same as it does on your website anymore =( the string is gone and it looks like it has a gap in the middle so some pages could be missing. Today I was one of those sad faces disheartened from work walking into Flinders Station, as I made my way towards the entrance about to take my ticket out i see this black book simply laying by itself on top of the ticket machine..so i quickly grabbed it and made my way towards the train. TODAY..i did not read the Mx. Thanks! and it'll be great if you can get back to me..would be interesting to find out if pages are missing...love the book! I keep it inside my own moleskin diary.
