Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W Modern-Day Sufi e all need a little help and guidance at some point or another in our lives. In that respect it can be said that we all bear the same cross, but what I believe is crucial for humanity, particularly now, is that the help and guidance that we do receive allows us to grow and evolve unhindered by what I often regard as antiquated rules and regulations that merely profess to have our best interests at heart. This is not a book about how to become someone; it is a book about rediscovering who you already are, and that, my friends, is perhaps humanity’s greatest challenge yet, for there are very few who have managed to reach the lofty heights of self-recognition in this reality! And whether the catalyst be my simple words, or another’s, it is ultimately only ever you who can successfully achieve this goal. You are your greatest advocate . . . and you are your greatest adversary! It is up to you to choose which one you will be. This book is an observation of what we as individuals make of this wondrous thing we call life, and how, based largely upon other’s often distorted and fearful viewpoints of life, we set about creating our own experiences of it. I have so named the book for the simple reason that we all fall prey to the self-limiting beliefs and systems of this reality to some degree or another, and we all tend to ‘buy into’ them with equally determined alacrity, often convincing ourselves that we have no choice and that we must make the best of what we have. Unfortunately, this also leaves no room for doubt that it all may just be some grand hoax orchestrated on the part of those with the power and the wisdom to know better. I no longer believe in this reality. We all have a choice, and through the following observations it is my deepest heartfelt desire that we all discover this simple truth, before it is too late! Christine Webster.
