Synopsis

The chapters of this book are comprised of brief and personal glimpses of few special individuals who not only found their essence but who acted on it, making a difference in the quality of life for all those who followed. Their sincere contributions to the evolution of man and the examples they created influenced my steps, making my melody a more harmonious and organized composition. I am eternally grateful.I am also in debt to many people who have proven to be teachers and guides for me, since they showed me what I needed to learn about myself along the way. Some have given me energy - some have taken it away, but all have been necessary parts of my ongoing journey, and my heart acknowledges them. Each chapter indicates a superlative interest in the individual's message - finding it to be part and parcel of my own inner resources. My life will never be the same as before my search began.From the Pagan scriptures, in Stromateis is found the following quotation which I have found to be accurate."He that seeks will not rest until he finds;he that has found shall marvel;he that has marveled shall reign;and he that has reigned shall rest."On that note, let the search begin. I hope you will develop a new "faith" in yourself, and the belief that you are always protected, directed and connected to the loving parent who brought you here to enjoy this beautiful planet. We're in this thing together so practicing the Golden Rule will enhance all our days.
