Live Alive

“The real question is not whether life exists after death.

The real question is whether you are alive before death”

-Osho

Dear friend,

We live in a brave new age, where people are less and less willing to settle for darkness and suffering as normality. I know you are no longer willing to settle, either. You’ve come too far and you have just had enough. You intuitively feel that this “reality” cannot be the whole story, and that the degree of suffering and injustice you perceive in your life and the world is not made for humans to endure. This is how I felt for so long, trapped in an existence with rules, premises and expectations impossible to tolerate. More often than not, life felt hard, cruel, and very rarely made sense.

You want to break through this haze and stop feeling powerless.

You want to be equipped with the understanding and powerful, applicable tools that you need, in order to break through personal perceived limitations that have long stood between you and your full potential. Between you and constant, predictable joy, confidence, clarity and peace of mind. Because this is ultimately what we all want: to live alive and full of passion, every single day, in control of our experience, growing into the beautiful, colorful, vibrant, powerful giant butterflies we are meant to be.

I yearned for this profound, epic, life transforming understanding. I instinctively searched for it throughout my childhood and well into my adulthood, as we all do, whether we are aware of it or not.

I experienced, studied, explored and tested these powerful methods on myself and hundreds of others over the past twenty years, sometimes bruising my heart and tugging at my mind, learning from the success of others, a few times seriously staggering, broken to pieces and ready to give up on myself and life as I knew it.

You don’t want to go through life like this.

You need a map and you are ready for clarity, here and now.

Nobody wants to live life in grey.  Nobody wants to go through life feeling like a raw, tiny, scared caterpillar, riding on a roller-coaster of emotions, sometimes up, sometimes deep in a dark pit of fear and despair, rarely enjoying fleeting moments of happiness or content, at the mercy of apparently random events that are hardly under your control.

Yet many of us stay stuck in the caterpillar mode for so long, for years, maybe for decades. In truth, many of us never bloom. Many of us die still a bud, unborn, blind and deaf and completely unaware of the divine, gigantic symphony that life actually is!

As a child I always knew that I was meant for great things, and that our world is a magic, enchanted one. As the years unfolded, my life seemed to wander so far away from that path of noble significance I knew I was made for. The magic was fading, to be felt very rarely. In my darkest moments I felt the deadening sadness: the tragedy of wasting me.  The sadness of settling for so much less than I was meant to be. Settling for a strange world, devoid of all the joy, wonder and enchantment I had initially known.

The sadness of failing the plan I knew God had laid out for me.

This is not how you want to live.

This book speaks to my younger self, my children, my friends and all of you, my loved ones of every age who feel something is missing: the puzzle of life just doesn’t seem to fit together, and things do not add up. You seem to be wandering your way through it, drifting –just like I used to- often without a compass to show the North of life, questioning the meaning of it all, and your purpose here.

While life and our surrounding reality do provide us with challenges and good times as well, with ups and downs, I learnt there is a bulletproof way to increase your number of ups tremendously, and bounce back up from your downs in little or no time.

A sure, tested, older-than-the-worlds way to tune into this newfound power, build steam and gather momentum, until you own it and it owns you. You become one and it becomes your dominant nature.

And then there is no way back.

------------------------------------

I am enjoying this place I have reached: I love who I am, where I’ve been and who I am becoming.

The experience of being me and discovering my preferences each day is becoming more and more of a joy, delightful surprise and pleasure.

There is so much comfort and peace and loving strength for me in this being one with Myself. Self-criticism and self-doubt are gone, and in their place there are only light, and clarity, and loving growth, and a tremendous capacity to live life fully.

I recognize my path with ease, and decisions feel easy and inspired. If I sometimes seem to make mistakes or fail, I now remember instantly that there is no real mistake, nor failure. There is only exploration and feedback from life, and reaching forward, and every step along this path has its meaning, its purpose and its value.

The more I witness my potential revealing, the more it appears to grow and bloom even further and richer than I have ever imagined.

This harmony within translates into all areas of my life, and everything is unfolding with deliciously increasing ease and satisfaction.

Indeed, every day feels like magic and flow and brilliant clarity, every day feels like new blessings.

This is what it feels like, to live alive.
