And if no one ever teaches you to dream the unlimited dream, if no one ever teaches you to breathe the breath of God's nostrils in spring, and if no one ever teaches you to look at a midnight sky and contemplate the concepts of forever, no one ever teaches you this, then you will be forever separated by God, its natural kingdom, its illustrious beauty, its intoxicating magic and enchantment. You will never know it. You are to learn that this is what the true nature of your being is, and that when you learn this you will know that the Lord God of your being is not trying to take you from life but to wake you up in the midst of it. And it is not one that argues for its limitation but barrels down the walls that limit you from expression. - Ramtha

If I was told I have a day to live, I wouldn't go to rest. I will type faster! Most literary books are sorted out by genre: either all poems, short stories, novellas, drama, or novels...etc. This book breaks this rule: it cooks novellas, with short stories, adds some spices of free writing, simmers them all with a pinch of theatrical effect to serve a hearty meal. No dessert is offered because it is a given after finishing this book.

Humans feel lonely. They don’t remember who they are, or what they live for. You are an eternal being, travelling along this and other universes, who in a moment makes a stop on this planet called Earth, with one unique purpose: to enjoy your terrestrial experience, while expanding Love and Joy. To help you create a life of happiness, well-being, and abundance, your Creating Parent endowed you with their Universal Principles, the Life Instructions Manual, with which we are all born, but so few can remember. What happened? Why are we not enjoying total happiness and abundance? Since you were a little baby, you were taught to focus your attention on the exterior, only on those things adults see with their limited vision. This is how you gradually forgot how to read your instruction manual; this is how you even forgot its existence inside of you. Oblivious to our interiority and having lost communication with our Self, we feel confused, lost, and aimless. We don’t remember who we are nor the unique mission we promised to accomplish in this lifetime. Once we stop listening to the voice of our Self, we give our full attention to the voice of our ego. Confused by its pseudo-protecting messages, we take its hand and let it guide us through its own paths of fear, struggle, distress, guilt, and self-sabotage. Author Anne Astilleros, not having forgotten who she is and how to use her own instruction manual, helps us remember how to use ours. She reminds us that: • You are not alone. • You are light and darkness; you are not perfect, and you will never be, and it’s okay! • You chose your Dad and Mom to remind you what not to do! • Your ego is not bad. It wants you to illuminate it, and only when you don’t, it punishes you. • Your ego is your best ally in your evolution. • And so much more...
