Pathways to the Soul: 101 Ways to Open Your Heart:
Story lines are solidified beliefs about ourselves and the work around us. They're made of misperceptions, fears, self-doubts, opinions, past conditioning, prejudices, and assumptions. They are conclusions we have drawn. They my have been appropriate conclusions to draw on one occasion in our lives, but when we weave them into a seamless world view, they tend to be confining. Since we may even see them as the "Real me, " they can block our window to the soul. Story lines feed on fear, anxiety, judgment, criticism, depression, arrogance, self-belittlement, resentment, and complaint. When we tell ourselves these stories long enough, they often become true-self-fulfilling prophecies.
Following are some examples of story lines:
"Today is going to be awful. I can feel it."
"Nothing good ever happens to me."
"I can't do anything right."
"I can't help it. I have no control."
"I'm terribly shy. Nobody likes me."
I'll get hurt if I get too attached in a relationship.
Everything will be fine once I lose 20 pounds, exercise 45 minutes every day, and meditate regularly."
What are your story lines? Write them down in order to increase your awareness of them. Which ones are strongest? What effect do they have on you? Try to identify the beliefs, feelings, and emotions they feed upon. Where did these come from? Becoming aware of them, dissecting them, and tracing their lineage decreases their solidity and power. When we see the stories we tell ourselves, we're able to cut the by coming back to now, or change them into positive thoughts and affirmations-all useful tools for expanding our awareness of the light within.
To begin working with story lines, learn to call up a positive image when you find yourself getting completely carried away in tape-loops of thought. A friend of ours conjures up an image of her garden or her favorite vacation spot when she finds herself in the stranglehold of a story line. Another way is to counter them with affirmations, which we will discuss later (see exercise #33 "Talking to Yourself"). With affirmations, we substitute positive story line for the negative one which erodes its power.

Recovery of the Sacred
Lessons in Soul Awareness
Every human being is born with a conscious connection to the sacred. Yet, over time, life in a fast-paced, industrialized society can disconnect us from our spiritual essence leaving us bereft, thirsting for wholeness, love meaning and purpose. This fascinating book chronicles the journey of physician Carlos Warter, whose spiritual initiation into the traditions of Shamanism and Sufism leads him away from the straight, narrow, uncompassionate path of high-tech medicine toward the real soul of healing. Dr. Warter's spellbinding story is woven with remarkable coincidences and near-magical experiences which bring forth important lessons on the soul of healing, the impermanent essence of the human condition and how to awaken our true selves. The trail leads you across three continents-from Peru's mystical Macchu Picchu to the deserts of Morocco and Arizona.
One can find his or her own path to the sacred life through Dr. Warter's experiences. Exercises in each chapter lift the reader to a new dimension in soul recovery. Recovery of the Sacred picks up where the Celestine Prophecy left off.

The Soul Remembers: A Parable of Spiritual Transformation
On the outermost level this book is a teaching metaphor similar to those used in all sacred traditions. But behind the parable is a cosmic perspective on essence, individuality and relationships; a view of human purpose, soul design and divine direction that leads to a new look at the origin of suffering, healing and the evolutionary dimensional shift. Through the voices of archetypes of consciousness the book subliminally explores paths to power, love, beauty, strength and mysticism.
It moves through different dimensions of reality while simultaneously focusing on the mental, emotional and physical aspects of life as instruments of expression that can be tuned to a higher purpose.
The SOUL Remembers is the expression of a spiritual journey that has assisted thousands in their own process of self-remembrance, encouraging them to live more deeply and become personally responsible for co-creating heaven on Earth.
