A word that means to catch sight of or discover. From old French decrier, to proclaim.

There is was in plain view! An instruction manual on calmness, peace, tranquility and a personality that is based on these things. How deep is it? How deep do you want to go?

The best chapter I reviewed would be one that enabled me the sight necessary to live that way.

I could quote the page numbers but my manual has different ones than yours. A few people give references to specific sections, even sentences that address the changes that are necessary, to actually change your outlook on life completely!You find it and read it, you’ll see! Good stuff. I’ll give you a general area to search. The whole book is filled with these things.

Before becoming aware of the necessity of change, I was moving through my life as most of us do. Living in my past, not aware and concentrating on experiences that made me what I thought I really was. They dominated my day and attitudes.

I really needed to express the hell I had been through and until I found references in the manual that showed me that is the life everyone goes through. Betrayal, rejection, offenses and forgiveness not shown nor expressed (mostly from me to you and myself). Most of these things are trauma and accompanied by fear. This manual shows how one man conquered all these.

This was the ‘software’ etched into my mind and thence a personality that it was me. Standing alone and not knowing all of us are the same. Shipwrecked and alone on our island. A Gilligan’s island with other fools just like us. Waiting for rescue from hearing the same old stories from our mates. Longing for beauty, real love given to and by us. How far away to the horizon and beyond those things seemed to be.

Gilligan was the only one who was considerate, loving and real. Not a fool but the main focus. It was his island after all. Bob Denver, great actor and in his life displayed a healthy and loving self image. Most of us missed it. So there they were, no land in sight but it is life. Adrift, isolated and afraid of being found out what we ‘know’ we are.

There is an interesting illusion of being at sea. As soon as land is not seen, you are in the middle of the ocean. Always in the middle no how many knots of speed your ship can go. So there we are, stranded in the middle of our ocean, speeding along and not getting anywhere. The illusion is that we are standing still while water and thus, our life is rushing along.

This is our life. Going fast and not changing, not getting anywhere new. Real life is found in the 43^rd chapter of my manual. Section 5 is the one that I like. It’s an old manual written about nineteen hundred and fifty eight years ago. Most likely you have one of these at your house too. Land ho! Rescue and reality in sight! It’s life changing. I Read it until I awakened to life as it is meant to be lived. It’s the whole purpose of our life. Love, given, seen and welcomed. The main character in the book will whisper to you if you want Him too. He wrote the book after all. Rescue indeed!

It’s pretty good. Jack Gator
