Chapter One

PART I

Are human beings really more intelligent and wise than all other living creatures?

Are you?

Do animals judge each other by simple differences in their external appearance? Do they alienate others based on color, race or ethnicity?

Do You?

Do animals spend a majority of their precious lives regretting a past they cannot change or worrying about a future that may never come? Or do they just "Live in the Moment"?

Do you?

Do other living creatures alienate themselves from their own species with only selfish concern for material successes and external achievement? Do they embrace the destructive nature of capitalism at all costs?

Do You?

Do animals spend most of their precious moments on their Blackberry or computer rather than enjoying quality time with their family and friends? Do they obsess about the newest technological toys?

Do You?

Do animals wage war on other countries because of different beliefs? Do they actually believe that killing and destruction solves problems?

Do You?

Do animals waste their life away pretending to be something or someone they are not?

Do You?

Do animals sit around and watch each other die of starvation and poverty while hoarding resources that could feed and house the world?

Do You?

I think we all need to reassess our beliefs, actions, and behavior. Are we truly of higher intelligence and wiser than all living species? Would the world be in the state it is now if only animals existed?

If we believe our intelligence and wisdom is greater than others then why don't we act like it?

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

Alfred A. Montapert

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self - contain'd I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins.

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God.

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that, lived thousands of years ago, Not one is disrespectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

Walt Whitman

Chapter Two

Part II APPROACHING LIFE'S QUESTIONS WITH AN OPEN MIND.

An Internal Quest.

"You can explore the Universe looking for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find the person anywhere." Buddhist Saying

Who is your Soul Mate?

As human beings we are consistently involved in an endless search for something external to fill the painful void within us. We search for the perfect partner, or our Soul Mate, with the hopes of finding everlasting joy, happiness and true love. We look for a new partner to relieve our pain of the loss of another. What we fail to realize is that by expecting another human being to make us a complete person we are decreasing our own self worth and simply saying that we are not wholesome or complete as we are. What we need to realize is that we already have the precious gift of love and happiness deep within our own being and that our pain will always exist until we begin to trust and rely on the innate happiness within our own beating heart. There is no Soul Mate out there; your Soul Mate lives within you, patiently awaiting the day when you decide to reunite with the perfect love that exists and will always exist in the depths of your soul.

You are your best friend, lover and inspiration, above all others. By loving your entire being you will gain unlimited capacity to share this unconditional love and kindness with everyone who crosses your path. Embrace the uniqueness of your being and begin to engage passionately in the admiration of your whole self. You have a specific meaning and purpose for being alive, thus it is your responsibility to honor your life. Before you can engage in any other intimate relationship, you must devote love and respect for every aspect of your being. Learn to express compassionate and unconditional self-love. Allow the intuition of your soul to guide you to higher states of consciousness and be the recipient of the immense love that resides within your heart. Let the love, compassion and kindness exude from your being and touch all the souls you come in contact with.

I humbly offer you 6 suggestions to embrace and nourish your relationship with yourself and all other human beings you meet along your precious journey of life: Practice mindfulness.

1. A life lived mindfully is a life filled with peace, tranquility, joy, truth, bliss, ecstasy and compassion. Mindfulness is a form of meditation, involving direct participation in each moment as it occurs with complete awareness of your present experience. Dive into the harmonious and perfect rhythm of the universe and you will experience the true essence of life. Let go of the attachments of the past and the desires of the future and simply...
