Thank you all, I love you. ix Forward What is it like to truly be fully alive? Have you ever thought about that? Does an owl, a crocodile, or a monkey need to sit down and think about how to live their life to the fullest, or do they just do it? Why is it that we as human beings are more easily persuaded to become enslaved and domesticated to someone else’s idea of a meaningful life, than any other living being on the entire planet? Think about it; when you were born, you didn’t have a choice as to whether you would come into the world peacefully in a nice warm bath with the smell of fresh fragrances, chirping birds, and Beethoven musing in the background – or whether you would be forcefully cut out of your mother’s womb with a sharp blade, surrounded by scary monsters with white gloves, poking at you with needles and measuring every inch of your body with cold, unnatural devices. You did not get to choose how you came into the world. That was up to your parents and their idea of what they thought would be best for you. Then you were told you must go to school, get good grades, and play nice with others. You were told that if you did what your parents, your teachers, your peers told you to do, you would be rewarded with kindness, freedom to enjoy life, and maybe even the occasional scratch- and-sniff sticker or chocolate chip cookie. Again, none of this was your choice. You didn’t choose to go to school. You didn’t choose to learn math, science, and history. You didn’t choose whether you were going to be a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jew. Since birth, your parents and your peers forced these ideas and beliefs onto you, not realizing that they would ultimately affect every- thing about who you think you are for the rest of your life. xi xii ■ 27 Flavors of Fulfillment: How to Live Life to the Fullest! They may not have done this ill intentioned; in fact, it is more likely that they wanted you to be successful in life than to live with emotional pain and traumatic psychological suffering. As parents, that’s all we want for our children - to be happy and to live a success- ful and meaningful life. The biggest problem is that we often get in the way of our children’s inner wisdom and we think that they are too young, too immature, and too inexperienced to learn through their own free will and inner guidance system. As we grow older, we begin to realize how wrong many of our teachers were. 1+1 does not equal 2. In nature, 1+1 equals three. A Father plus a Mother equals a child. 1+1=3. We begin to realize that our parents only knew what they knew so that’s all they could teach us. It wasn’t their fault. There’s no need to blame them. As we grow wiser we begin to forgive our parents for their mis- takes, and realize that they were only human and that they were living their life the way they were told to. This forgiveness of our parents and our peers, and ultimately, this forgiveness of ourselves, eventually leads us to inner freedom - a freedom that nothing can destroy. It becomes like a constant flame of light that nothing can put out. The flame may waiver in the wind, but it always comes back to its grounded, strong, illuminating center. To achieve this freedom, is in my opinion, the greatest gift of being human. This freedom that comes from within; this freedom from men- tal and emotional pain; this freedom from anger, hatred, and resent- ment; this freedom from jealousy, gossip, and envy is the inner freedom that gives us strength, joy, and enlightenment. In my opinion, children are pure examples of, enlightened, divine gifts of God. They are here to TEACH US, not the other way around. Look at how much joy, happiness, and love they exert to complete strangers. They don’t judge, blame, or guilt you into believing you are supposed to be a certain way.
