Looks like a good book. I missed the radio show, but here's some info about the author and book:

quote:
Self-help author William Whitecloud spoke about his book, The Magician's Way, in which he presents secrets to creating a wonder-filled magical life through inner 'alchemical' transformation. Whitecloud revealed that he had suffered from a mysterious long-term illness which caused a drastic decline in his physical and mental health. He said his condition got so bad that he needed to carry a note with his name and address, in case he forgot who he was and where he lived. After a decade of continued deterioration, Whitecloud recalled the day he met a man who claimed to know what was wrong with him. The cure he proposed included eating red meat, drinking coffee and wine, and smoking cigarettes, as well as a daily walk, he explained. Whitecloud noted that he bounced back almost immediately from what he ultimately learned was an 'illness of spirit'.

According to Whitecloud, we all have a natural ability that is perfectly capable of taking care of us in every sense. However, this inherent capacity is suppressed by strict notions of how things work, he warned. "Your reality is created by your focus," he said. Focusing on the process too strongly sends a subconscious message that the power to change one's life is external, Whitecloud explained, noting that this is a false orientation based on societal conditioning. Whitecloud encouraged listeners to engage their creative spirits by asking what it is they want in life and allowing that end result to exist. Do not talk yourself out of it or worry about how it will happen, he cautioned. Acknowledging what you really want in life, without fear or dismissal, will encourage and compel you to advance down the path of your power, Whitecloud imparted.

Now that's kind of fascinating! Different! !!!

quote:
Mark Vale is besieged by financial and marital turmoil when he meets a group of contemporary alchemists. They take him on an astonishing journey and teach him to transform difficult situations into golden opportunities.

Mark learns from wonderfully unlikely characters, from a billionaire to a beautiful topless waitress, and manifests an enormous financial windfall. But can his material success hold his family together? Mark embarks on the ultimate quest to understand how our values influence events.

Author William Whitecloud brings a dazzling range of knowledge and experience — from a childhood in Swaziland immersed in supernatural worldviews to hermetic philosophy and esoteric speculation on the financial markets — to bear on this practical and magical look at what we really want, and how to get it.

“An absolutely extraordinary book...I think of it as Jonathan Livingston Seagull on steroids.”
— Paul Dunn, chairman, B1G1

“I love this book! The riveting tale will open your heart while engaging your mind. It contains real magic!”
— Dr. Joe Vitale, author of The Attractor Factor

“I would rather chew my own arm off than read most self-help books. Thankfully, The Magician’s Way is not really a self-help book. It is a ripping good yarn full of usable wisdom and insightful anecdotes. I plan to read it again...and again.”
— Michael Murray, documentary film producer

“A wonderful blueprint on how to manifest what’s in your heart.”
— Randy Spelling, life coach and host of Healing Journey

“A rare gem that is entertaining, fun, enlightening, inspiring, and beautifully written, too...I recommend it highly.”
— Robert Scheinfeld, New York Times bestselling author of Busting Loose from the Money Game

“Absolutely mind-blowing...Aside from being a great read, The Magician’s Way delivers lots of practical and insightful ways into how we can approach life differently. Highly recommended.”
— The Art of Healing magazine

I caught what you wrote before the 'WTF?'

Yes, I've erased some posts recently for my own personal reasons, that I don't need to explain to people here.

If I end up reading the book, I'll write my thoughts on it.

There are always good reasons why I do or say what I do, even if you dont get it. Thanks for your concern. No drama to be found here, sorry. and no need to be alarmed when you see deleted posts either

Though, you wink and grin a heck of a lot... You alright over there?

May as well make this thread into something since it can't get any worse.
