    You ARE It. Be It." Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer share processes, tools and points of view that you can use to create consciousness and magic- and change your life in ways you may not even be able to imagine.Magic is about the fun of having the things you desire. In a larger way, magic is about consciousness - not the addendum TO your life, it's consciousness AS your life. You can function from consciousness every moment you're alive. When you do, your life becomes truly magical and there's nothing you can't generate.What are the infinite possibilities?What else is possible?"Magic is all around us, it's something we all generate. What would it take to think differently about the universe, the consciousness and oneness that we all are and the magic that is an intrinsic part of it?"--Gary M. Douglas"The real magic is the ability to have the joy that's possible, the joy that can be generated, the joy that life can be!"-- Dr. Dain Heer

Jonathan Martin - 2008

Jealousy and fights ensue. We create beggars. Good men are corrupted.Tragically, such stories are not the exception but the rule. Is this Generosity? Our guilt is appeased but great harm is done.That is what this book is about. It is a tour of our own culture and the many ways our money destroys those it was intended to benefit. It also shows us how we--churches, foundations and individuals--can apply timeless principles so we can know our stewardship of God's resources is accomplishing God's purposes both in our lives and in the lives of those who will die if we don't learn to give wisely.

In other words, you need to create a philosophy of your life that supports your money making ambitions in a way that is not in conflict with your fundamental values and beliefs of what your life well lived is really all about. If there is a conflict, it will work against you – the emotions resulting from this conflict will consciously and subconsciously have a negative impact on both your money making potential and your ability to enjoy life. It is very important that you get your whole life under control, that you develop a philosophy that supports not only your money making ambitions but your entire existence. James Rohn once told me: "There is a philosophy of the rich and a philosophy of the poor".Rich people ...
