Book excerpt: Castles & Buttons (Book Two) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing (Susan James) Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles & Buttons- Book Two How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics This is the 3rd of the Castle’s and Buttons Series . If you’ve read the ones that came before; The Introduction to Castles and Castles Book One, this third book,Castles and Buttons, Book Two, goes a bit deeper into the higher study and its implications. Implications include money flow and financial events. The key understanding to get to, is everything is simply given. Those of us who are committed to understanding higher things at some point are ready to entertain this notion of everything is just given to us. When I reached that place of understanding that this could be true, the effort then came in unraveling any underlying themes or beliefs that kept me from the experience of it. The unraveling came in both the knowledge and the experience of the fact, that I did not have to do this and that, so that I could have or get this or that. I have translated it over into every part of my life. I know it's about how we use energy. I've had to develop my own way, my own games. I've had to not listen to all the hype, while still enjoying parts of it. I have fully convinced myself that circumstances and conditions do not matter. When we are purely aligned with Source Energy, our thoughts, ideas and timing all meet for a wonderful event or experience. It becomes the way we live, instead of the occasional miracle. The Mechanism of Financial Abundance is attached to two things: • 1. Understanding Higher Law and It's Benefit as We use this understanding. • 2. Feeling Good IS The Mechanism of Financial Abundance. It brings More Money and Money that Sticks to Us. I can relate to this big time, because before I smartened up, I would get big money and then something would happen to it, or something would need fixed which took the money away as fast as it showed up. It's very nice these days, to have the money flow and not go! It's very nice to not have to fix things, or backup and re-start and re-do. Altho, at those times, that's exactly what I did. I'd re-start with the mental ease, and I'd re- do, with the mental ease, and up and out I went! Done Deal Baby! Some of the themes covered in this Book 2 of the Series: • How To Make It Easy • Dissecting The Fast Track To Desire Fulfillment • Simple Things I’ve To Keep My Attention On Track • The Mechanism of Financial Abundance • Getting Out of A Jam While... • How to Create From The Highest Non-Doing Place • Understanding Castle's and Buttons As The Same • The Higher Meaning of The Tree of Knowledge • The Done Deal Future Pull • Acquiring Money and Creating Money • Blasting The Barriers to Money Flow • How To Melt Our Limitations, And Become Limitless • Allowing More Money • How to Intend from The Knowing State • 5 Ways to Move Our Lives Towards Abundance • The Easy Way To Win • Applications Universal to Finances, Health, Relationships • The Law of The Done Deal (And How to Use It) • How To Open The Door To Boundless Supply • Flashback to Circumstances Do Not Matter • How To Increase Our Belief Level • The Power of Precipitation (Using True Vision) • Not Lifting a Finger, Only Needing A Thought Enjoy the entire Castle’s and Buttons Series and you too may then understand how creating Castles or Buttons is the same and everything you want is already there for you!

This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Castles & Buttons-(Book One) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing (Susan James) Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles & Buttons (Book One) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles-Buttons The Same, But How? One of the first phrases I latched onto in my beginning study of higher things, was the phrase mentioned in Abraham-Hicks material, ‘Castles and Buttons are the same.’ My first thought was, ‘how can that be?’ And since I have an investigative nature, I set out to find out, just how, Castles and Buttons are the same. For those new to the study of metaphysics, and things of a higher nature, the phrase ‘Castles and Buttons are the same’, implies, that it is just as easy to create a Castle as it is a button. It’s as easy to create a wonderful expansive lifestyle, as it is to live in the ruins of one. Again, I asked.. ‘How in the world can that be? And if it is true, how can it be easy?’ The entire Castle’s series is about my belief in ‘the Promises’ and my getting there. I want you to know, I’ve been where you are, and I’ll give you examples of how I’ve expanded beyond it. I’ll give you things to try, which worked for me. Things which helped me find out for myself, that yes, indeed, Castles and Buttons are the same. And...We can have what we want without all of the doing, and without ‘goofin’ it up first, as was the sub-title of one of my first books, and Editors Choice winner, Manifesting 101 & Beyond. Castle’s is based on The Ideal. The Law. And this law says, that only the best of the best is the only thing that we should be choosing. The Best. The Best of The Best. Castle’s is about not settling for less than what we really want. And most importantly, forget about anything other than Plan A. There is no Plan B, once we understand what we have in our hands. We’ll use examples that are of your life. And I know they are of your life, as I’ve lived it. I’ve had the broken cars, broken finances, broken relationships, but my understanding of what I had hold of, as long as I would practice and apply it, would move all of my mountains and moved me smack dab in the middle of my castles. It brought new and better in everything. Things showed up without struggle and strife and concern. Then it became automatic. Automatic, as in when it turns dusk the lights on the light pole automatically come on. Automatic as in breathing and walking without having to think about it first. Automatic as coin in the drink machine, drink plops out. Automatic as when we play the card game ‘Free Cell’, we make one move and many others automatically are moved for us. Automatic is becoming The Genie. Some of the themes covered in Castles & Buttons-Book One: • Bricks Without Straw: Unlimitedness-Doing The Impossible, Easily • How Do We Begin Having Our Castles and Not Settling For The Buttons? • Profusion Abundance (The Opposite of The Other Shoe Dropping) • The Opposite of Limited is Not Un-Limited • When The Ton of Bricks Becomes An Avalanche (And What To Do About It) • A Done Deal Example From My Beginning Days of Understanding • How Long Do I Use The Swords, and How Long Before We See Results? • The Golden Parachute vs The Golden Wheelbarrow • Quantum Manifesting Accelerated: Sword Statements • The Learning Curve of Not Having To Do Anything Manifestation • A Shortcut to Easy and Automatic Enjoy the entire Castle’s and Buttons Series and you too may then understand how creating Castles or Buttons is the same and everything you want is already there for you!

Book excerpt: Castles & Buttons (Book Three) Susan James How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles & Buttons- Book Three How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Anyone reading any of the greats from Emerson, Cady to Neville to Abraham-Hicks and so many, many more, from Metaphysics to Theosophy, the Esoteric and beyond, we are told that everything is possible, there are no limits and we can have anything we desire to have. It is that promise which keeps many of us on the steady higher path. The Higher Law operates with simple guidelines: • Have the Idea (which is ‘thought') • Add The Affirmation (which is also ‘thought') All else is taken care of by the Law. For some of us, including me, there have been some in- between stages to the above 2 steps. (As in Don't keep changing our mind by adding doubt, fear, lack of confidence, etc.) We have to expand our understanding of a Source outside of our humanity. At one time, I was so off the path of higher anything, but I didn't know any different. My life reflected my lack of knowledge and understanding. But ‘something' kept me moving higher, bit by bit. ‘Something' kept me safe. And bit by bit, the things that did not feel nor look good in my life, began to drop away. It was my willingness to be open to things I did not yet understand, but wanted to ‘believe' in, such as, the promise of better, of good, of wonder. The Fairy Tale. ‘Something' kept moving me forward into believing in the fairy tale. For me The Fairy Tale was about happy endings, happy in between, happy everything.

Download or read book Upper Cut written by Carrie White and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shampoo meets You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again in a rollicking and riveting memoir from the woman who for decades styled Hollywood's most celebrated players. I was living a hairdresser’s dream. I was making my mark in this all-male field. My appointment book was filled with more and more celebrities. And I was becoming competition for my heroes... Behind the scenes of every Hollywood photo shoot, TV appearance, and party in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, there was Carrie White. As the “First Lady of Hairdressing,” Carrie collaborated with Richard Avedon on shoots for Vogue, partied with Jim Morrison, gave Sharon Tate her California signature style, and got high with Jimi Hendrix. She has counted Jennifer Jones, Betsy Bloomingdale, Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn, and Camille Cosby among her favorite clients. But behind the glamorous facade, Carrie’s world was in perpetual disarray and always had been. After her father abandoned the family when she was still a child, she was sexually abused by her domineering stepfather, and her alcoholic mother was unstable and unreliable. Carrie was sipping cocktails before her tenth birthday, and had had five children and three husbands before her twenty-eighth. She fueled the frenetic pace of her professional life with a steady diet of champagne and vodka, diet pills, cocaine, and heroin, until she eventually lost her home, her car, her career—and nearly her children. But she battled her way back, getting sober, rebuilding her relationships and her reputation as a hairdresser, and the name Carrie White was back on the door of one of Beverly Hills’s most respected salons. An unflinching portrayal of addiction and recovery, Upper Cut proves that even in Hollywood, sometimes you have to fight for a happy ending.

Download or read book The Death of Expertise written by Tom Nichols and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology and increasing levels of education have exposed people to more information than ever before. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues. Today, everyone knows everything: with only a quick trip through WebMD or Wikipedia, average citizens believe themselves to be on an equal intellectual footing with doctors and diplomats. All voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. Tom Nichols' The Death of Expertise shows how this rejection of experts has occurred: the openness of the internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine, among other reasons. Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement. When ordinary citizens believe that no one knows more than anyone else, democratic institutions themselves are in danger of falling either to populism or to technocracy or, in the worst case, a combination of both. An update to the 2017breakout hit, the paperback edition of The Death of Expertise provides a new foreword to cover the alarming exacerbation of these trends in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election. Judging from events on the ground since it first published, The Death of Expertise issues a warning about the stability and survival of modern democracy in the Information Age that is even more important today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, an African-American teenager in Florida, and the subsequent acquittal of his killer, brought public attention to controversial "Stand Your Ground" laws. The verdict, as much as the killing, sent shock waves through the African-American community, recalling a history of similar deaths, and the long struggle for justice. On the Sunday morning following the verdict, black preachers around the country addressed the question, "Where is the justice of God? What are we to hope for?" This book is an attempt to take seriously social and theological questions raised by this and similar stories, and to answer black church people's questions of justice and faith in response to the call of God. But Kelly Brown Douglas also brings another significant interpretative lens to this text: that of a mother. "There has been no story in the news that has troubled me more than that of Trayvon Martin's slaying. President Obama said that if he had a son his son would look like Trayvon. I do have a son and he does look like Trayvon." Her book will also affirm the "truth" of a black mother's faith in these times of stand your ground."--
