(direct extract of Chapter 21 of "Earth Song")


Earth Song is a book about Spirit, as it manifests in daily life. Throughout its pages, you have been reminded of your true nature, and of the power which exists within you.

Much of what you see around you is not real. It is the illusion of your creative mind, existing so that you may learn to distinguish your divinity - that immortal part of you which is your Soul - from the transient and irrational creations of your thoughts.

True peace and happiness is not to be found in the world outside. As you seek there for your solutions, you have your eyes closed to the peace which already exists within you. Your Soul's very nature is peace and radiance. All of the frustration, the pain and the fear is merely the ego devising a reason for its existence.

Like the Pied Piper, the ego may have many times had you under its spell, leading you along the merry path to nothingness. Its survival depends on your believing in its illusions, and so at times it fights very hard for its justice.

But just for one moment, linger in the space between words. Allow yourself to reach beyond the form of this world, the structure of the thoughts. Discover the something which exists beyond form, and resides in timeless space.

It is this something which is you, and if you close your eyes and just 'be' with that space, you will hear the melody of your Soul calling you to surrender and become One with your true nature.

In this space, your every footstep on Earth blesses all beings, and your every breath brings peace to this planet.

This is the Earth Song. This is your purpose for being alive.
