Are You Caught Up With Life’s Many Challenges?

Feeling Disappointed, Afraid, and Alone?

Wondering What You Should Do Next?

I’ve suffered through  personal tragedies and misfortunes. I know what it means to cry out for help.  My life was in utter chaos. After my divorce, I found myself choosing to raise four children on my own. It was a time of chaos. financial challenges, much despair and tremendous emotional upheaval.

To be sure, I felt abandoned — not only by my wife — but also by God. ”How could God let this happen to me?” I asked. I thought of myself as a good husband and a good father. Surely I deserved more. Why would the great loving God of mankind be so cruel? Why me?

Even though I felt totally abandoned, I needed to put my anger and disappointment aside. I had four children who needed me. Four children who depended upon me. My children were then aged between two and seven years old, and I made it my sole purpose to provide the happiest life I could for them.

We faced many struggles. Struggles that you may have  experienced or be experiencing yourself. It was one thing for me to be struggling emotionally, but when compounded with financial stress, I felt as if God (and everyone else) had completely and utterly abandoned me.

And Then Everything Changed . . .

A few years later, Ruby, my long-time friend chose to become my partner in life and assist me in raising the children. One sunny fall morning we were in our bedroom when I suddenly felt — a presence.

I did not know whether to feel fear or exaltation. Despite the bright sunlight flowing into the room, I could not see any visible signs of this presence, but I felt it move around the room nonetheless. I said to Ruby, “We are not alone.” She became apprehensive, even fearful and then just as mysteriously as the presence first appeared,  it simply vanished.

Suddenly, I had a tremendous urge to write.

I didn’t know what to write, but I did know I wanted to write. I had to write. Later that evening, when all was quiet, (didn’t happen very often) the opportunity to write did come, and I picked up a sheet of paper and my pen. As soon as I positioned the pen over the paper, the presence returned. Only this time the energy was much, much stronger.

This time I was not fearful; in fact, it was quite a calming presence. That’s one thing I had not felt in quite a while: calm. There was no apprehension; I allowed the energy to flow. I felt a tingling sensation in my spine like a cool breeze was blowing over my back, tickling me up and down.

I relaxed and started to write whatever came into my head. What I wrote really didn’t sound like me because I didn’t have these kinds of thoughts. While I was certainly questing for truth, I always thought it would come in a blinding flash of glory. But here I was, sitting in a chair, alone with a pen and paper, feeling as if I was being dictated to; one word at a time.

 I didn’t know what words were coming next. (at least they were in English)

Inside my head were all these sentences that needed to be written. I  remember sometimes I would hear a sentence, not like it and decide to change it. At times, I did not agree with or understand what was being said in my head, and I would change the wording so it made more sense to me.

When I did this — the presence — this mysterious energy stopped and my mind went blank preventing me from writing further. Only when I deleted my version of the sentence and went back to the original sentence did the presence come back and allow the writing to continue.

Was I Going Crazy?  (This is a rhetorical question, please don’t answer)

I was not hearing voices. It was more like I was thinking quietly, yet what I was thinking did not seem to be my usual thoughts. These were deeper, more philosophical thoughts.

Insights from a Higher Power?

After each writing session, I would look over what I wrote and each time I knew I received a gift, an Insight to assist me with my practical and spiritual questions. Often, these writings pointed out where I made less than loving and trusting choices.

This is how all the Insights were written: First, I would have a life experience, and then I would receive the Insight. Over time lightness and clarity began to flow through my life, filling me up with new levels of understanding, hope and love.

Today,  the children are grown and living on their own. I live an enjoyable peaceful life with Ruby ( now my wife). I have shared the 101 Insights for many years.

Now I Want To Share The 101 Insights  With You.

I have received hundreds of emails  thanking me for the Insights. I have had ministers, preachers, new-agers, healing circles, women’s empowerment groups, people in difficult relationships, addiction groups, and people in despair all write to me about the help they received from the 101 Insights. I have people write to me who have been searching their whole lives for answers who suddenly found them through these Insights.If you are searching for answers, I suspect there is an answer in The 101 Insights for you.

Insight # 19 – Beliefs

A belief is stronger than any action you can take. To take an action when
your beliefs are really saying something else gives the belief the upper hand, the
power. From the beliefs you hold, stem the results you have in your life. Let go of
that which holds you. Be secure in knowing all will be provided for you when you
“believe” and create what you want. Believe in that which brings you love and
joy. Being busy trying to avoid what you don’t want in your life, will surely create
the same.

Insight # 1 – Strengths

Be proud of and use your strengths! The lessons you have chosen to learn in the
past will serve you well. They were necessary. They made you aware of the helplessness
and despair humankind can take on. Will you show others there is another
way? You have enough lessons and truths inside you to touch each heart with love.
Let those who encounter you see your magnificence! Touch every heart with love.

Insight # 2 – Touch A Heart

Many hearts are closed to the love of this universe. To touch another’s heart, you
must first open your own heart. Not just to a selected few, but for all to see. Be open.
Be vulnerable. Allow yourself to be loved and to love all you meet. Take those whose
ideals are in concert with your integrity and bring them along with you. Your compassion,
gentleness and your love for your fellow man is strength for you.

Insight # 3 – Chaos

Letting go of the chaos, the business (busy ness) of the physical world allows
a means to see the higher vision. Take time for yourself. Not just a minute, or a
day, but a month. Take time each day to be still and listen. Start looking for your
higher vision, your higher calling. Remove yourself from those areas where you find
struggle. They are a distraction. Move on. Relax. Enjoy life. Enjoy living.

Insight # 4 – Commitment

The struggle is not about lack of commitment from those around you, but rather
about your commitment to your own life. The level of commitment you see in others
mirrors your own level of commitment to yourself. Commit to that which is in
line with your life purpose, your life’s work. Some of your commitments are nothing
more than wishful thinking. Everything you are committed to having, you already
have.

Insight # 5 – Choosing Love

You have chosen to enter into this plane. This was your choice. Your angels have
been with you all along. They whisper into your ear. You have heard them many
times. Now is a chance to choose again. You have a chance to choose love, for this
was your original purpose. You have come full circle, and yet you are only at the
beginning. For there is no beginning and no ending. Choosing love is the highest
choice. Become more aware of the forces that surround you. These are powerful
forces that call you to “be,” and will assist you on your journey. You are not alone!
There will be whisperings in your ears. Listen.

Insight # 6 – Puppet

Do you think the Universe has nothing more to do than make you a puppet for
its amusement? To watch someone (you) fail? The Universe is committed to love. You
are asked to give love and the Universe responds. Do not get caught up in self-glory,
or controlling or manipulation of others. Be of love, compassion, and grace.

Insight # 7 – Be Proud

Time to let go. Time to be free. The chains that hold you are about to be released.
Do not be afraid. Step forth and be proud of who you are. See the world
as though every part of it is an extension of who you are. What is showing up for
you? Love? Abundance? Joy? Do you believe in your own abilities? Why do you
keep them to yourself? A good hockey player would look silly if he just played in
the rink by himself. Who would marvel at his speed and agility? Whom could he
inspire and become a role model for? Are you playing in the rink (the arena of life)
by yourself? TIME FOR YOU TO SHINE!
