“When you are on a precipice or at the eve of a decision, what should you do? “
This post is as an introduction, and an invitation to you to engage with this philosophy. What is the philosophy? Well, it is simple and beautiful. It is a self-help guide. It is new age. What more can I say? It is easy to read and engaging on every level. It’s hard to stop reading, because this philosophy or teaching seems to “get us” and understand what we are going through. There can be some fascinating discoveries along the way. You just have to experience it and see if it “speaks” to you. Often the discoveries along the way open you to new understandings and your life can begin to take on a new shape, a new direction, in fact, become transformed. I work in concert with the teachers, writing down the philosophy and publishing the works. I teach, too, and add stories about my own experiences. These powerful and inspiring teachings or ‘philosophy’ flow through me so that I may communicate them to you. As an adult learning specialist, I love to add ideas and suggestions to deepen the reader’s experience. I am only too happy to make this journey with you, and be of service. Now about the teachers. I have come to know them well and you will, too, as you read what they have to say. They have been teaching for millennia, and you will surely want to know more and more as you connect with this philosophy. I am so very grateful to teach in concert with them.” –Deborah Arndt
An introductory post from the teachers:
“When you are on the precipice or eve of a decision, what should you do? We want to encourage you to go to such places, figuratively speaking, and make changes, even dramatic ones in your life. When you feel an assault of things unwanted coming into your life, then that is a good indicator that you need to make a change. But what change? That is where you use our methods that we describe in our books and ‘simple, beautiful philosophy.’ We would not leave you without the means to make these changes, since that is what we are all about.
A new beginning
Now, you may view something as a precipice, and we may say, ‘It’s a new beginning.’ What’s the difference? We can SEE where you are headed, yet you perhaps only bring fear to the table. Now what good will that do you? When you bring fear to anything, you are not open to the good stuff. How can you be? Think about it. You see a sort of darkness or void ahead of you, which we say cannot exist in the universe. Any absence of life or goodness is anathema and simply does not exist.
There is good in any situation
Did you know there is good in any situation? We are not telling you to ‘look for it,’ as so many before us have said that to you in your lives, and we know you have heard that too much. But we will challenge you to look at it differently—like a crazy quilt you are looking at rather than a single uniform pattern. You might see something in that quilt that delights you. Yes, in the sense you are looking for something, but you are also expecting to find something and finding pleasure in it. Do you understand the difference?
With an expectation always comes satisfaction of some sort. We never let you down. We write about that in our books, too, and most recently in Magnitude: Varying Our Degree of Learning, and we encourage you to read it. It is available in print and soon e-book, so don’t miss your chance to get in on it. Be the first on your block to have read it, then pat yourself on the back and get the word out about how great it was that YOU found this work … that it seemed to come right to you! They won’t realize that we knew you were seeking and would find us. They won’t know that we cooked this whole thing up to get you to come and read what we have written, so we can change your life, like the great chefs of Europe changed the face of cuisine. Now you can get cooking, too. Be a great chef in your own life! Don’t miss out.
A new book is on the horizon. Verdant: The Greening of Your Prosperity will be published soon. So read Magnitude and our other works Happiness Abounds and Verisimilitude and then be so proud that you did, and spread the word. . People will think you are amazing that you have found us and want to spread the goodness to other souls who are looking, too. If you ever needed to have a mission, well, we are giving you one right now. Do you get it? Well why not?
We are introducing new concepts to you with this blog that Deborah is introducing. We will write regularly so that you can check back often and find fresh inspiration, even vitality to add to your day. Now wouldn’t that be nice to have some more vitality? We can all use some of that. And we promise you will feel a swing in your step and power under your wings … that is to say uplift, my dear ones, so that you can take flight where you want to go. Call us Your Teachers, for that is who we are. You will find us in many places throughout your history as you know it, and we have returned again.
Think of us as a show that comes to town every so often and you get to go and see it when it comes round. So we are in your neighborhood now and we invite you to come round and get in on the act. You see, it is really all about YOU. Not about others so much, although indirectly it is, too, about them because EVERYTHING you do that benefits you, benefits others. So that when you come to the gate of your learning, when you open that gate and walk through and discover your blessings, and apply them with blessed learning into your life, then you are so much more enriched and you enrich the lives of others, too. So that is why we say this is about YOU. Now when did anyone say that to you recently?
There is a phrase bandied about in your society that goes something like, ‘Hey, this isn’t about YOU!’ Well, we are turning that concept on its head and saying, ‘Hey this IS about YOU. Come and get it!’ So we hope that has whetted your appetite a bit to check back to this blog of Simple, Beautiful Philosophy and get going on the authentic life you ALWAYS wanted to live. Watch the magic unfold, and we will watch with delight as you have that experience.
Now, we are coming to YOUR show. You’ve arrived in OUR neighborhood, and we’ve been waiting for YOU. Don’t be worried, we only mean to tease you and let you know that you have been awaited for a long time … well, the many years since you arrived there in your wonderful society, your homes and families. Now you have progressed to where you have so much more to discover and apply in your lives. ‘Get on board!’ as we like to say. And let’s sail to adventure. We will steer the ship for a while until you can take over and then you are at the helm of your own life’s experience. Or using a train analogy, you can be the signal person for a while until you get the hang of things and then move to the engine where we will hand you over the controls. Now, that has to be of interest to you all, man or woman. Sail or ride! Take your choice! We close with love for you.
And do read on as we’ll have more adventures waiting for you when we return with our next installment at this blog. Blessings!” –We, Your Teachers (To learn more, about the teachers, click here.)
