Forgiving your parents

Our first empowerment seminar took place on Thursday, Feb. 11th, 2010 at Los Angeles' leading spiritual bookstore, The Bodhi Tree in West Hollywood. It was a great group of people that came to our free two-hour seminar, including Jim, who came to talk to me afterward about how he had used several of the tools in our book to change his life. He shared with me how a few months earlier he was filled with bitterness toward those he felt had caused him harm--including his parents who had indoctrinated him to believe that he would fail and not achieve respect if he choose a career that was in his heart, instead of what they thought was best for him. But after forgiving them, he had been able to release his anger. Forgiving those who had brainwashed him to make the wrong decisions and live a fear-filled life, together with learning how to change his thought patterns, has enabled Jim to finally have the courage to follow his lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. He will make less money as a teacher than continuing to work as an accountant--which also was his father's profession--but he is now truly happy, living a life aligned with his heart and higher purpose. Jim told me that now he wakes up every morning excited about each day, as well as feeling that he is making a difference in people's lives. Jim was given a second life. The main tools he used for deleting his negative indoctrination/brainwashing were the meditation/prayer/self-programming (tools described in the free electronic book on the Web site) and the Daily Life Balance system, which you can download from the media section on www.asecondlife.com.  .

Every person who is not truly happy deserves a second chance at life. Each of us is born as a unique diamond with a higher purpose. Society then indoctrinates us with negative belief systems that cripple our life and cause us to make wrong decisions--it also causes many people to feel powerless and disconnected. Every person deserves a life filled with happiness, love, and to be able to utilize their unique God-given gifts. We hope that through our nationwide seminars and this blog that we can reach out to as many people as possible to assist them in their transformation to a new life, A SECOND LIFE.
