As we drove today through the unbelievably beautiful backroads of Illinois and Indiana, my husband, Jerry, read me this just-completed
third
Sara
book:
A Talking Owl Is Worth a Thousand Words!
(What a pleasure it was for me to hear it for the first time in this way.) We parked the motorcoach, and checked into our
seminar hotel, and I sat back in a comfortable overstuffed chair, eyes closed, feet up, basking in the fulfilling feeling
of having completed another book—when, almost instantly, my mind began filling with powerful words, flowing for the next
Sara
book.
So we’re off again!
I hope you’re enjoying this
Sara
series as much as I am. Sara, Seth, Annette, and Solomon are as real to me as anyone I know, and I, too, am loving what I’m
learning as I watch their lives unfold.
With love,
Esther
Within all that is, and isn’t; including every place, and non place; swirling through the Unlimited Universal Environment,
await the answers to everything you have ever needed to know about anything. And from where Sara’s teacher, Solomon, exists,
in that Universal Environment, comes to you
Sara, Book 3.
You are about to embark upon a remarkable and exciting experience—a new way of seeing things, a new way of looking at some
old ways of having fun.
And so, expect to realize some new perceptions. Expect to reconnect with your invulnerable Self. Expect to learn how to experience
adventure without fearing risk.
Learn how: It all turns out right anyway; you never get it done, and you can’t get it wrong; you can feel good under all conditions;
you can call it good or bad, but it’s all good; every “accident” has a cause; you can find the wanted masked by the unwanted;
you can go from jealousy and guilt to feeling good; you can perceive death and still feel good; there is no death; your body
naturally heals; you can attract harmonious relationships; you were meant to be happy; you can have everything you want. .
. .
We are all in this together. We have, somehow, been attracted to each other, in this moment, as a result of the intentions
and resulting vibrations of each of us. For example, for over a decade, Esther and I have traveled to as many as 60 cities
a year, opening our workshops to thousands of persons to ask any questions they wanted to ask—and from those thousands of
questions have evolved the series of delicious
Sara
books. And as this
Sara, Book 3
is distributed to thousands of readers, more questions will be evoked. . . . For instance, a teacher in a San Francisco public
school used the first
Sara
book last year as a class textbook, and he suggested that the students (about 30 sixthgraders) e-mail us their personal questions
and their suggestions as to what they would like to see happen in the next
Sara
books. (Although we have too many other commitments these days to respond like that again—we created, and gave to each of
them for their graduation, a booklet with each of their excellent questions, and Solomon’s answers. A great time was had by
all!)
The uncanny part of the story was that although none of them had read any part of the
Sara, Book 3
outline, nearly every suggestion of what they wanted to happen next was already written in the manuscript! Never before have
I been so aware of just how closely we are spiritually intertwined and how our questions are being answered, often before
we’re aware that we’re asking.
So here we are—you with your asking and this book with the answers. What a perfect point of co-creation! This material has
been created to add to your level of joy, no matter how happy you already are, and it has been created for you, if you so
desire, to share with or teach to or give to others who may not yet be as happy as you.
We are living in a time when there is more opportunity for happiness than ever before in our recorded history. And yet, among
the billions of us here, there remain some relatively small clusters of persons who seem to consciously band together and
deny themselves that readily available opportunity for “earthy pleasure.” For the majority of us, who were neither born nor
coerced into one of those more stringent systems of beliefs, we can somewhat understand, if not readily accept, their “choices
of earthly pain.” However, once we begin to hear that “we are each free to choose, and that by our choices, we create our
own experience,” we find it more difficult to understand why there is so much fear, illness, pain . . . and general unhappiness
being experienced in our civilized environment. In other words, why should there be any pain or suffering in this era of so
much opportunity for freedom, growth, and joy?
Solomon, Sara’s ethereal friend, teaches that experiencing anything less than well-being is unnatural, and so this book is
simply about discovering how to return to your naturally happy self—no matter what! This is a book about allowing it and then
being the example of it—and then about sharing your well-being with others.
The following passage is an excerpt of Solomon’s words to Sara, words that summarize the simplicity and clarity of this thrilling
adventure into the discovery of how joyous and fulfilling our lives are meant to be:
Sara, what about making your happiness your main issue? Nothing is more important than that you feel good. . . .
People often believe that things have to be a certain way before they can feel good. And then, when they discover that they don’t have the power or the votes or the strength to make things be the way they want, they resign themselves to unhappy, powerless lives.
Understand that your power lies in your ability to see things in a way that keeps you feeling good, and when you are able to do that—you have the power to achieve anything that you desire.
Everything that you desire is trying to make its way to you, but you must find the way to let it in—and only in feeling good can you let in those things you desire.
You live in a big world, Sara, with many other people who may want things to be different than you want them to be. You cannot convince or coerce them all to agree with you; you cannot destroy all of them who do not agree with you. Your only path to a joyous, powerful life experience is to decide, once and for all, that no matter what, you intend to feel good. And as you practice turning your thoughts to things that do feel good—now you have discovered the secret to life. . . .
Esther and I have found much pleasure in discovering the depth of Solomon’s “Secret to Life” as it unfolds, page by page,
through this third book of the
Sara
series. And we are imagining the fun you will have as you, too, discover the treasures contained between the pages of this
delightfully powerful work.
The purpose of life is joy; its basis is freedom; its result is growth. Sara and her friend Solomon are about to add another
chapter to the fulfillment of your purpose in life.
And so, off we go, on anther adventure . . . an adventure in joy.
From my heart,
