What you think, what you feel, and what you do does not vanish into the abyss of the past. Nothing is lost.
Every thought, every feeling, every deed is gathered into the invisible worlds, received by spiritual beings, transformed through the wisdom of the cosmic hierarchies, and woven into the fabric of your destiny.
What you send into the world today becomes, through the mystery of the spirit, a force that will one day return to shape the world you enter tomorrow.
I was once so severely depressed that I would repeatedly dream of a giant, ferocious tiger chained to a tree. Yet in the dream I was not afraid, because somewhere within me I knew that the tiger was not my enemy—it was my own will-force, powerful but imprisoned.
When I awoke, I swore that I would set that tiger free. Within a week, my life began to change with extraordinary force: I became wealthy and internationally known. It felt as though something that had been imprisoned within me had suddenly burst outward into the world, and nature itself was answering the liberation of my will.
Looking back, the beauty was not merely in becoming rich or famous. It was in watching an inner force, once suppressed and unconscious, become capable of expressing itself outwardly through action. I even came close to dying in the process.
The currents of my inner life had become one with the forces of the outer world, and what had once lived within me began to express itself through the world around me.
