Many books have been written on the Universal truths, but the truths presented here are given in a simple form and language to which people can relate and understand and not in the obscure language of the mystics of the past. Universal truths are not magical, as they are just truths, and truths have always existed and always will. The Universe is based on eternal laws and these will never change and cannot be changed. You are not what you accumulate and think you own in this life. Those possessions are just the baggage you carry in this life that allows you to travel comfortably from station to station and nothing more. This baggage will not improve your conditions when you reach your final destination. The experiences from the lessons learned are the only baggage you can carry with you, nothing more. Dalende takes you on a journey of self-discovery through life's experiences while discussing topics such as: Creation and Manifestation Money and Debt Mentality Meditation on Manifestation Energy and Creation/Use of Energy What is Reality? Feelings and Emotions Time and Space How Your Thoughts Shape Your Life Linear Thought and Communicating with Your Guides Coming Earth Changes And more

Chapter One
Live by Your Inner Guidance
Our bodies are not just physical. The physical body is the final product of all our thoughts, feelings, and images; however, we are much more than the physical we are so accustomed to seeing and taking as the only final reality. Our bodies extend way beyond the physical and this is why we are able to receive wonderful messages through our dreams when our physical bodies are asleep and our barriers are down. When we sleep, we are no longer aware of our surroundings, our defenses are down, and our ego is asleep. This is the time when communication with another level of consciousness that is part of us is possible. During the day we are bombarded by a barrage of news and information that does not allow for the connection to take place, and this is why it can only take place while we sleep when we have switched off our phones, iPods, TV, etc.
We all have the ability to dream and to remember our dreams. The symbols in our dreams are directly related to our experiences and fears. For example, I am afraid of water and tornadoes and these are the symbols that almost invariably appear in my dreams when they want to convey a message that I need to remember. I always remember these dreams because they are so vivid and the water is so frightening. Through the years, I have learned to interpret my dreams quite successfully and they have helped to steer my life in the right direction. You also have the choice to ignore them, but then be prepared to pay the price either with the loss of your job or an illness or other events in your life or that of your family that will influence your life forever. The dreams help you to prepare to face major events in your life with courage, faith, and peace.
This world is one dominated by fear. The news only conveys messages of fear. People only speak words of fear; they vibrate in fear and resonate in fear. Fear has become the major emotional vibration for billions of people. Fear of losing your job; fear of losing your loved ones; fear of earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes; fear of getting sick; of contracting an incurable disease; of losing your good looks; the recent fear of the recession; etc. The list could go on and on. Nobody speaks words of love, hope and faith, or anything positive.
This is why your dreams come to you using the symbolism of fear, because it is the one universal language we are all proficient in, but the message contained in them is always a message of courage, faith, and love. If you know what will happen then you will be better prepared to face the lesson to come. The only problem with dreams is that you will never be able to predict the time accurately. The events predicted could happen in a span ranging from a day to several years, but they will definitely happen.
Isn't it wonderful that we are not alone, that we are taken care of and loved? We are powerful beings, but the problem is that most of us are never aware of how powerful we are and struggle on in life alone without direction and hope, without knowing that there is a force that is part of us that is pure love. I have seen this force and I have felt the love, and nothing on this earth compares to it. The closest I have come to this type of love is the love I feel for my children. This is the force that compels most mothers to protect their children at all costs, even at the risk of their own lives; love does not rationalize, it just feels and is.
During a meditation many, many years ago in England, I saw a wonderful, translucent, pale-yellow light envelop me, and I felt a wave of love so powerful that I wanted to share it with all those around me. The love I felt was so overwhelming that all hates, fears, and problems were forgotten and transmuted instantaneously. This happened another time also years ago and, unfortunately, I have not been able to repeat this wonderful experience again. But while it lasted, I felt connected with and was part of the force we call "God" or "Source." This is why I firmly believe that all those who kill or injure others in the name of God are completely mistaken. There is no my God versus your God or my God is better than your God because there is only one God with different names, and this "God" is pure love, and pure love, by its own nature, transmutes hate, racism, and all the negative feelings that have been part of the human race since the beginning of time into love. Anything negative that comes into contact with this pure love cannot stay negative because it is transmuted into love on contact.
I could have remained in this feeling of pure love forever. I did not want to come back to my reality, but as I have chosen to be part of this earth I had to come back and hopefully as a better person. This experience influenced my life and I have tried to help those I have come across who needed help. Helping is not just giving money to charities so they can do their work; helping is also sharing yourself and your beliefs with others so they can see a different way of living life. By teaching by example, you offer people a different perspective of living life. You show them that there is a connection with an inner world that is part of us, if we only choose to live life from within and not only from the outside.
Unfortunately, this world is divided among those who live from within (priests, clergy, monks, imams, nuns, etc.) and those who live from outside (the rest of humanity). We have created a division between people, between them and us, and it should have never been this way. We are all one. We are all part of the same "God," "Source," however you want to call Him/ Her. There is no reason for hatred, racism, etc., because we are all one. The color of your skin and your religion has been determined for the most part by your parents and the region of the world you were born in. How can we have a Christian if a baby were to be born in a Muslim country by Muslim parents? Likewise, how could we have a Muslim or Buddhist if a baby were to be born in a Christian country from Christian parents? We all need to strive to live from within because it is who we are. What goes on within determines what our physical bodies will look like and the experiences we will live in this life. If you believe in hate, violence, etc. and all your thoughts are devoted to these feelings, then you will live experiences that you will hate or make you hate others. Your life will never change because you have selected how you want to live and what experiences you want to have. In order to change, you must first realize that the experiences you are living in your life are generated by your thoughts, that nobody else is responsible for your life but yourself, and that if you want a change in your life then you must change your thoughts and feelings. You need to recognize that your thoughts are not leading you to where you want to go and then you must change them so you can change the energy you vibrate at....
