As I was growing up, the mantra from home, school and church was “think”. Whenever there was a problem, the injunction was “think”. When I got so sick in the 90s friends and relatives told me I got sick because I thought too much. Surprisingly my psychiatrist never echoed what everybody else said.

When my husband and I were team teaching at the graduate school in the 2000s we showed the fil “The Secret”. It was a hit with the students. I had a lot of misgivings about the film being too contrived and mechanical. Joe Vitale was one of the personalities in the film. I was not impressed at all with Vitale.

In 2009, in London I chanced upon Vitale’s book, “Zero Limits”. I saw this earlier at National Bookstore at Makati, Philippines but it did not interest me. The copy I bought in London enchanted me.

Vitale and Martha Beck have convinced me to neutralize my thoughts. Both authors do not sound airy-fairy even when they write about how to make your thoughts become a reality. Minutes ago from Facebook I got this from Alice in Wonderland Teatray:

There is no need to be trapped by your thinking,

You are more than your thoughts…

Feel….

Be free

Break through
