    INTRODUCTION

    ne day, as I was moping around feeling sorry for

    myself, I was inspired to write down what my

    rights as a human being were. From that list came this

    Bill of Rights, along with a meditation for each of the

    statements.

    Thirty Principles have been listed herein. I realize

    that the list could be much longer, but what is given

    here represents the basics, I believe, for personal growth

    and maturity.

    A true human being is able to stand with integrity,

    dignity and honor in the midst of all that comes his way,

    but this is not always easy. I will be honest with youand tell you that these thirty things are some of the most

    difficult things for most people to do, even though in

    reading them they sound like a piece of cake. This is

    because we have been programmed to have a certain

    mindset that says we are merely puny humans that have

    no power. We are supposed to submit to the fates that

    await us and have no power to change them. But in

    truth, this is the mindset of slaves, not free people.

    There comes a time when we must take authority

    over our lives and in strength confess our authority as

    we are given it by the Ineffable. This is the natural

    heritage of all humans! It is my hope that these thirty

    simple statements will help you to begin to throw off

    the slave consciousness instilled in you and begin to

    really live!

    This booklet teaches you that you have authority.

    The word authority means the right and the sanction to

    O

    do something. Authority is power. So in embracing

    these thirty simple principles, you are taking back the

    power that is rightfully yours. Because of this,

    You have a purpose for being here.You have the power to be here.Y

    ou have the authority to be here.

    You have the Right, Power and Authority to fulfill your

    purpose, and no one has the right, power or authority to

    stop you.

    You may say that there are others in authority,

    whether they be religious or political. In the greater

    work of society this may be true. But on a personal

    level,

    No one has the right to tell you how to run yourlife no religious authority, no political

    authority, no social rule.

    Only you can decide this. These thirty principles

    will, I trust, help you establish your personal power

    base. They are given in the authority of Love.

    Perhaps you are already using your authority in

    some of these things. I will say this to you as it was

    taught to me a few years ago: Take what you can useand leave the rest.

    1. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE ME.

    One day when I was really feeling sorry for myself, a

    profound thought popped into my mind:

    I am me. No one else can be me but me. No one

    else can do what I do the way I do it. Everything

    has my personal signature on it and cannot be

    duplicated.

    Everyones life is stamped with their personal

    signature. They are the only ones who can use it.

    Whatever they do has the unique expression that goeswith that signature and anyone who tries to duplicate it

    is committing forgery.

    There is no one on earth that can do what you do the

    way that you do it. Two people writing about the same

    thing will tell their experience of it, and put side by

    side, one can tell that the two came from different

    people.

    Your signature endorses your personal authority and

    is a statement of power. You say to others who you are,

    what you are and where you are in your life.One of the greatest Spiritual principles that exists is

    the admonition to speak your truth with courage,

    boldness and wisdom. By choosing to be who you are,

    what you are and where you are, you can become a free

    agent, no matter what circumstances surround you.

    Iamtheonly person who can dothis. The Signatureof

    my life is locked in the Realityofwhoand what Iam

    and is necessaryfor the benefit of others andfor the

    furtheranceofmy path. Iam who Iam, what Iamand

    where Iamforareason. I bear thissignature,andno

    one cantakeitfromme. Though I beenshroudedintheopinionsofothers,I am that I am.

    2. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE TRUE TO

    MY WORD.

    Be impeccable with your word. is the teaching of

    THE FOUR AGREEMENTS.

    1

    The word impeccablecomes from a Latin root and means to be without sin, to

    be perfect, flawless. Your word is the statement of your

    authority and power. If it is not true to your intentions,

    it has a nasty habit of coming back to you and biting

    your ass.

    People determine your honesty and integrity by not

    only what you say, but how you back up what you say.

    If you say one thing and do something else instead, you

    lose the trust of others and consequently, your power

    base. You devastate yourself and the work you are hereto do. You usurp your own authority.

    Being true to your word means to follow through

    with what you say by taking actions that are conducive

    to it, by doing the things you said you would do. The

    old saying is, A promise made must be a promise

    fulfilled. If you say you live by the principles of Life

    then you must do so at all costs. If you say, I will

    fulfill this need, then you must do everything you can

    to fulfill it. This is being true to your word.

    I have made commitments, not only to myself, but to

    God before thehostsofHeaven. Becauseof this, Iam

    under theobligation tofulfill them. Imade themfreely

    before entering this world and they aresealed within

    1 A book written by Don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec Nagual (Master). The Four

    Agreements are: Be impeccable with your word. Dont take anything

    personally. Dont make assumptions. Always do your best.

    the propertimes. Thereisnoothersetofpromisesthat

    are as important as these. They are my Prime

    Directives.

    3. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO FULFILL MY

    REASON FOR BEING HERE.

    You were born into this world having the mandate

    you agreed to fulfill in this life.Y

    ou were givenchoices, and of your own free will accepted the life you

    now live, and in this life, to do what you agreed to do.

    This is now a given for you, your Prime Directive. It is

    a part of what you are and what you may yet become.

    To go against the agreement you have already made

    is a testimony that your word means nothing. The

    misery you face because of it will be of your own

    making. This is not only because you, in essence, lied to

    God, but you also usurped your own authority. You lie

    to yourself and withhold the energy that is allotted toyou to do your work. That energy is locked into the

    DNA of your being and is available when you need it.

    Your purpose for being here is designed to fit your

    personality and Signature. All the tools are at your

    disposal and will activate when they are needed. You

    would not have these tools, which are your many

    abilities and talents, if you did not have the authority to

    have them. Since that authority is yours, you have the

    authority to use them.One of the strengths of your health in body, mind

    and soul is your use of the authority you have to fulfill

    your purpose. In doing this in the long run, you will

    have no regrets.

    The promises I have made are concerned with the

    reasons I was bornintothis worldatthistime. Ihavea

    Commissionfrom Godto dothetaskslain beforeme. I

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    12

    will do them to the best of my ability and honor my

    commitment to them. I willnothesitate. I willnothold

    back. I willmarchforwardandneverhaveregrets.

    4. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HEAR GOD

    SPEAK TO ME FOR MYSELF.

    The Voice of God speaks to your heart and guides you

    in all the things you do. It is the voice of your DivineSoul, which has always been a part of you. It is your

    True Authority. We often refer to the Divine Soul as the

    Christ that dwells within all things and especially,

    within every person.

    To be guided by this Voice is to fulfill all the things

    you are here to fulfill. I must stress that it is an Inner

    Voice. It is a part of your being. You have the right,

    power and authority to follow its guidance in all things.

    There are those who say you must adhere to a certain

    way of thinking and acting. If those ways are notconducive to what your heart is telling you they are

    false and will lead you away from your purpose. What

    will you heed, your Heart Voice or the voice from an

    outside authority that has no right to impose its mandate

    on you?

    You must realize that you are a Divine Being who

    has Divine Authority. You are in this world to learn

    how to be truly human. To be this is to be totally free to

    do your Work and to speak your Truth. It is not basedon a cut and dried form but upon your spontaneous

    activation of your purpose, an activation that requires

    your signature in order to have any power.

    You have the authority to hear God speak to you

    because He is a part of what you are. There is no

    separation, no self and other. God is not up in the sky

    far, far away, but so integrated with you and with all

    that surrounds you that no other authority has any say in

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    14/66

    14

    the matter. You are a part of God and God is a part of

    you. That is the way it was always intended.

    This independence from the obligations of a

    religious format is highly frowned upon by those who

    are blinded to the Truth. They are running from

    themselves, trying to hide from what they know, in thedeepest nave of their souls, they truly are. Such are

    weakened in all areas because of this, and their ability

    to hear the still small Voice whispering in the ear of

    their heart is muted to a murmur they cannot

    understand.

    To hear this voice speaking to you is a vital key to

    your success in what you seek to do, no matter what it

    is. It is honorable to do this, though sometimes hard to

    accomplish. Yet you have the strength and the right to

    do it and be at peace.

    I am just as able as anyone else to hear the Spirit of

    Godspeaktome,thoughitbethroughemissariesofthe

    invisibleor visible world. I will weigh the truthofall

    things lain before me and will trust in the Divine

    Guidancegiven to me to tread my Way. I will listen

    when Spiritspeaks,anduse theguidance Hegivesme

    asifitwereasacredtext. I willnotfalterinmy Way.

    15/66

    5. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT

    WHATEVER TRUTH IS GIVEN TO ME

    WITHOUT FEAR.

    When you listen to the Voice of God in your heart, there

    is no need to fear that you will be led astray. That Voice

    does not call you to grovel, trembling like a whipped

    dog, but to stand in the authority that is rightfully yours,

    and to heed the truths that are presented to you by

    whatever means.

    It is true that religious and political authority says

    differently. They say you must act like everyone else

    acts in order to be accepted. Which is better to be

    accepted into their fold by their standards or to be

    acceptable by having the courage to embrace Truth onits own merits?

    To accept the Truth is to take unto yourself the

    Reality of who and what you are. It helps you determine

    where you are in your life. It may be contrary to

    everyone elses views, but it is right for you. You have

    the authority to embrace it because it would not present

    itself to you otherwise. You receive in your life what

    you need, and all you need is for the furtherance of your

    mandate.Sometimes the Truth you receive is very

    uncomfortable for you personally. You cannot escape it.

    It is there to help you adjust your life to a more perfect

    expression of your purpose. If you try to run from it, it

    will chase you to the ends of the Earth. If you embrace

    it, it will give you peace.

    You have the authority to receive Truth without fear

    of being led astray, because it is Truth. It is not based on

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    16/66

    16

    speculations or the whims of the moment. Some of

    these truths are Universal in nature and others are

    personally designed for you alone. The latter cannot be

    spoken because they are keys to your Power, but the

    former is what is shared with others. In sharing with

    others, one makes room for more Truth to come.

    The Truth will set me free! I will accept it as it is,

    without speculation and without fearing what others

    might think of it. I am not here to uphold a false

    tradition, butifnecessary,tointroduceanew one based

    on the Truth I have beengiven. I cannot do less than

    this without violating my Sacred Trust. It is more

    importanttometouphold Truththantolivealie.

    18/66

    18

    ignorance has kept you from embracing your birthright

    as a human being. It has instilled within you the

    consciousness of fear. To change your consciousness,

    the way you view and react to things, is to accept the

    authority you have and vanquish the consciousness of

    fear.The deepest roots of what we might call Prosperity

    Consciousness is found within you. You cannot just be

    prosperous on the outside and be impoverished within if

    you wish to be a whole person. If you want to prosper in

    a balanced way, seek to enrich yourself on all levels in

    balance with each other.

    What have you accomplished if you are filthy rich

    and have all the earthly goods you want, if you feel

    miserable inside? By the same token, what good does it

    do to have all that Spiritual and Mental energy within ifyou dont have the means to express it? To allow the

    WHOLE PERSON to prosper as ONE is the true

    Prosperity!

    I have received a promise given to all who would

    receiveitthatGod wouldsupplyallourneeds because

    He is rich inglory. God knows that I must have the

    7. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE IN

    HEALTH.

    One of the greatest bits of prosperity in the world is

    good health. It is true, that the pursuit of your mandatein this life can be compromised by poor health. This is a

    given. This is why it is important

    To respect yourbody as the Temple of God that itis,

    To respect your mind as an offspring of DivineMind,

    To respect yourspirit as the child of the Spirit,To respect your soul as the vital energy of Divine

    Soul,

    To respect yourDivine Soul as the FoundationaryEnergy of God, the Christ within you.

    This is a Wholistic process that must be

    undertaken to ensure good health across the board. You

    have the authority to do this. Remember that authority

    gives you the right to be healthy, and to be healthy is to

    be in harmony with your own Life Rhythm.Remember that Life is the rule of the Totality, not

    the exception! You are part of that Totality, so you are

    an expression of Life, the Divine Christ that is the Life

    of all that is.

    My body isthe TempleofGodandthe SpiritofGod is

    within me. It is part of my Sacred Trust, and I am

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    20/66

    20

    accountableforitifImisuseitandsquanderitsenergy.

    While I do not go to extremes ofbody-building and

    such, I do what I must to care for it by practicing

    moderation and respect for myself, by eating

    moderately, exercising moderately and getting the

    proper rest. Nor will I endanger it by takingunnecessaryrisks.

    8. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LIVE A

    FULFILLED LIFE.

    What is fulfilling to you?

    Is it living the good life? If that does not includeevery aspect of your being as a human it is not

    complete.

    Is it having deep Mystical experiences? If theexperience does not express itself in some form on

    the outside, it is not complete.

    Is it having great academic prowess? If you donothing constructive with it, it is not complete.

    You cannot live a fulfilled life if you do not live it

    on all levels. Your life must be fulfilled in body, mind,

    spirit and soul. If any part is weakened in any way,

    there is yet no completeness. If you wonder why there is

    a weakness within you, in most cases it can be boiled

    down to one question:

    Are you fulfilling your reason for being here?

    To fulfill your purpose is the most fulfilling thing

    you can do for yourself as well as others. This brings

    everything else into line, including good health,

    prosperity and well-being. Only one who is able to do

    this can become a whole and complete human being.

    My life isfulfilled when I do what Iamhere to do,no

    matterhow hardorimpossibleitseemsatthemoment.

    9. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE JOYFUL.

    The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is your strength.

    This joy is a feeling of well being and security in the

    midst of a troubled world. It is an inner knowing thatnothing is out of control, that all things are guided by

    intelligent design, even the unpleasant things.

    This joy is something that you already have whether

    you realize it or not. It is part of the human package of

    unopened qualities that have been suppressed within

    you. You have from the day you were born been under

    an illusion that you had to earn this joy in order to have

    it. You have allowed others to teach you that you could

    not have joy unless you did thus and so, unless you

    followed a prescribed pattern of conduct.The truth of the matter is that it has always been

    yours for the taking. There have been many who have

    never allowed their joy to be taken away because they

    have had people who have encouraged them to be the

    best they can be. Most, however, have not had that

    luxury. It is hard for you to have joy if you are

    constantly reminded that life is a path of constant

    suffering and pain.

    If you are told that you are a miserable sinner whodeserves to burn in hell for all eternity, it is difficult for

    you to feel much joy. But when you know that joy is a

    part of your birthright, that is a different matter! That

    means you have the authority, the right to be joyful!

    Mystrengthisin joy,especially,inthe joyofthe Lord!

    A joyful person can be saddened and seemingly

    enshrouded ingrief, but within him the joy wins the

    is withinme.

    10. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE WISE.

    The Book of Proverbs says that we should get wisdom.

    Perhaps it would be better to say, Use the wisdom that

    you already possess. Because you have a Divine Soul

    you have access to the wisdom of the ages within you. It

    is a part of you and cannot be taken away from you.

    Unfortunately when something cannot be taken

    away, it can become buried so deeply that you dont

    even know it is there. When you are told that wisdom is

    in a book or in some lofty dimension you cannot

    possibly reach without religious training, it causes

    you to look for an outside source for your inspiration.

    But the most these can do is trigger the wisdom youalready possess because the Divine is within you, the

    Source of all you are. When you are enshrouded in the

    illusion that everything you need is apart from you, it is

    hard to realize this. Yet once it is tapped, you have the

    key to the Ageless Wisdom that the Masters know. It

    truth, any true Teacher of Light would tell you this.

    Again I tell you that if you were not meant to have

    this, you wouldnt have it, but because you are a Divine

    Being, you have the authority and right to be wise!

    It ishuman imperfections thatmake people dofoolish

    things. Iamnoexceptiontotherule. Yetthe Sourceof

    Pure Wisdom is withinme. I tap into it anduse it as

    fully as I can. Though I make errors in judgment, I

    recognizethemandmoveon withmylife,acceptingthe

    balancethatis partofmynatureasthe Correctorofall

    foolishness.

    11. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RUN MY OWN

    LIFE WITHOUT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.

    One of the greatest lessons to be learned in life is that

    you, as an individual are sovereign over your own

    affairs. This individual sovereignty is the basic

    foundation of individual freedom and liberty. You

    would not be an individual being if this were not so.

    In this country we are known for our many freedoms

    that most other countries do not have. Yet in this free

    land of ours we are subject to religious oppression,

    political hounding, peer pressure, the authority figures

    in our lives who tell us more or less how the cow eats

    the cabbage and our conditioning because of all this.Somewhere along the line, we often lose many of our

    individual rights as human beings because we must

    submit to these necessities.

    All of these are outside influences. They are not

    supposed to control your every move as most would

    lead you to believe. You are responsible for yourself

    and have the authority to make your own decisions

    based on what your Inner Guidance speaks to you.

    Religious, political and social guides are secondary, and

    are often used as tools to control people. It implies that

    people are too dumb to control themselves. But this

    dumbness is created by these outside factors and is

    therefore superficial.

    When you realize this you are in a position to come

    into your authority and to activate your personal

    sovereignty. Some will say to you, no doubt, that you

    have to follow rules. If those rules do not violate your

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    27/66

    27

    purpose for being here or deny you the right to do it,

    well and good! But if the time comes that you must

    choose between the rules and your Purpose, you must

    be wise in your choice. Which, after all, is more

    important to you the rules of religion, politics and

    society, or your personal mandate?

    12. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE A

    MISTAKE AND TO CORRECT MY PATH.

    Do not be afraid of the fact that you are a human being

    and that human beings make mistakes. This is a given.

    There are those who would shame you for things that

    you do wrong and never let you forget it. Such is a ploy

    to keep power over you, to restrain you from learning

    from the mistakes you make and finding ways to correct

    your path. If you learn from the things you screw up,

    you retain your own power base, and no one can

    overcome you.

    This is why you have the authority to make a

    mistake and to correct your path. These are two parts of

    the same thing. You cannot have one and neglect theother. It is well if you make no mistakes. But this is a

    virtual impossibility on the human level. The right to

    makes mistakes and to correct them as you are able is a

    process that gives you a chance to learn and grow in a

    positive way.

    This is why I said to never be ashamed of the fact

    that you goofed up. You learn more about yourself

    because you expose your weak points and have the

    wherewithal to strengthen them. The key to retainingyour power base is to face squarely these weaknesses

    with courage and determination to shore them up so you

    are no longer weak in that area.

    Some may say to you that they make mistakes on

    purpose to cause someone else to suffer or have a hard

    time. Such an act is very bad and the repercussions are

    great. This is not what we are talking about here.

    Someone else will say that they are in prison because

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    29/66

    29

    they screwed up and robbed a bank. This is

    premeditated, designed to be hurtful on purpose. This is

    not a mistake.

    A mistake is when you do something wrong without

    the intent to do so, and certainly without the intent to

    cause misfortune to anyone. Karma, the Law of Causeand Effect, discerns the difference and welds its power

    to that effect. It is known when you goofed up

    accidentally, and when you did so on purpose.

    The key to this is your intent. Were you really trying

    to do the right thing and wound up doing the opposite?

    Do not be afraid to admit this and begin the process of

    healing within yourself and, if need be, within others.

    Ihave the perfectly legal right toscrew up! But Ialso

    have theobligation to correctmymistakes whenever Ican,so thatnoone willbehurtbecauseofmyerror. I

    realizethateverythingI dohasaneffect,andso Imust

    be careful to conduct myself in a way that is Life-

    Generating. When Iscrew up, Imustcorrectmy Pathas

    soonas possible.

    13. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WALK IN

    SIMPLICITY.

    This does not mean you become a simpleton. It simply

    means no window-dressing. There is absolutely no needfor you to complicate your life any more than it

    naturally is. You dont have to keep up with the

    Joneses, or anyone. You are yourself, and as yourself

    you are required only to unfold your life according to

    the pattern you set before you were born.

    Remember that you made promises and chose to

    come into this life with all its hang-ups and problems to

    progress your soul. You only need what you naturally

    desire, not what others say you need. You only have to

    live a lifestyle according to your own desires, notaccording to the statusquo others say you must live.

    The true prosperity that you should seek is the

    prosperity of being happy where you are. If you want to

    improve it, do so because you want to, not because you

    are being pressured to. Someone might say that you

    need a Mercedes and a big fancy house in order to have

    status in the world. If you are more comfortable in a

    Chevrolet and a mobile home, then that is where you

    should be. Status is determined, in the long run, by yourcharacter, not by what you own.

    Simplicity simply means living the way you are

    comfortable and content to live, and following your

    destiny to completion. What others say is not important.

    Though some may give you advice about this and that,

    that advice should be weighed against your purpose for

    being here. If it is not compatible you will know it. You

    will not feel comfortable with it. Be honest and

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    31/66

    31

    straightforward with yourself and with others. That is

    all that is required.

    14. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ATTAIN

    UNION WITH GOD.

    One of the greatest things that you can accomplish in

    your life is to attain Union with God. What does thismean? It means being a whole person, having a

    complete balance within yourself between what you

    perceive as being the Divine Part you identify as Divine

    Soul Consciousness or Christ, and the rest of what you

    are. To see these as separated in some way is to still be

    divided and not whole. One who attains Union with

    God becomes as a fresh baked cake. All one sees is

    cake, not the ingredients. When one sees a truly whole

    person, he sees a Divine Being in manifestation.

    Religious teaching has painted a picture of humanityseparated from God. This is a total impossibility. God is

    the Life of all that is. In my teachings I have tried to

    stress the fact that Life, which is God, is the rule of the

    Creation, not the exception. There is no separation in all

    Creation from the Life Essence because everything

    comes from it and is a part of it.

    What does this mean to you? It means that you are

    the Universe and the Universe is yourself. A Divine

    Being is a Cosmic Being, meaning that he or she hascome to complete Union with God, which also means

    complete Union with all that is, visible and invisible.

    You may call yourself a Texan or an American or

    whatever, but the truth of the matter is that you are

    much more than this. This is the totality of what you

    really are, and you have the right and authority to

    embrace it and become unified with it!

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    33/66

    33

    There are many things that could be said about this

    concept and many things that could never be said except

    by personal experience, but I tell you truly that this you

    have the authority to do!

    Theultimategoalofmy life is toreturn Home,not bydeath, butbylivingas closetothe principlesofintegrity

    andhonoras I can. To dothisisto be closeto God. To

    be closeto Godistohavetheopportunityto becomeas

    34/66

    34

    15. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE FREE OF

    CONDEMNATION.

    On of the worst things you can do to another is to pass

    judgment on them, to condemn them for not living up to

    the standards set for them. Have you set those

    standards? If they are your standards by which you live,

    well and good. But you do not have the right or

    authority to impose them on others. Others must set

    their own standards and live by them, whether or not

    they agree with yours. As freely as you have received

    your authority to live as you feel you should, they have

    the same authority in their lives.

    It is true that you have a mission to fulfill in your

    life, and you must do everything in your power to fulfillit. But it is designed to awaken others to their mission,

    not to persuade others to follow your way exclusively.

    A true human being does not judge or condemn he

    simply lives what he is and does his work with total

    love and devotion. When he sees others coming into

    their own, he rejoices. Because he is not filled with

    condemnation, he does not condemn. He lives and lets

    others live. His life is devoted to healing and mending

    the imbalances in the world, and one of them is thisseeming desire by some to control others.

    Condemnation is just another way to gain power

    over someone else. Even as you do not have the

    authority to pass it on others, you do have the authority

    to refuse to condemn others or to accept condemnation

    from others! You have the authority to be free to pursue

    your own path no matter what anyone else thinks about

    it.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    35/66

    35

    To befreeof theability tohurtothersor destroy their

    dignity by harsh judgments ismygoal. Inso doing, I

    free myself from such condemnation and

    judgmentalism. I claim to be uncondemned by Christ

    because I have accepted His Reality within me.Therefore, I have none to give. If I accept

    condemnation, it is because I was weakanduncertain.

    Godismy certainty.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    36/66

    36

    16. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE FREE OF

    ELITISM.

    If you come into the world with a special role or

    mission, you must come to realize that you are no morespecial than anyone else. You have a purpose to fulfill

    that you volunteered for, but so does everyone else, and

    like you, everyone else feels especially honored for

    being thought worthy to take on the task they are doing.

    As it is yours, what they do is their love, their life, their

    commitment beyond all other things. Nothing else

    matters but this.

    The commission to do what you are here to do does

    not divorce you from the human race. In fact it unifies

    you and makes you more closely linked to what itmeans to be human. To do this with humility should be

    the crown jewel of your life.

    Though you may have a place of authority, you

    should learn that this authority has a price that you must

    be willing to pay. Authority gives you power, perhaps

    power to guide others. You must never abuse that power

    for any reason. Nor must you give those you guide a

    reason to feel exalted to the point where they begin to

    have elitist thoughts. If they do this you have not doneyour job well.

    You may think is strange that I say you have the

    authority to be free of elitism. It means that you have

    the ability to choose to be free of this according to your

    own will. Whether you choose to or not is up to you, but

    you must remember that you will feel the effects of any

    decision you make.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    37/66

    37

    At the same time you have the authority not to be

    pinned to someone elses bug poster. You must be free

    to pursue you path without any flack from others or

    condemnation because you refuse to be pinned down by

    rules and regulations you dont even believe in.

    I have personally found that the best things to do aresimple and direct.

    Stick to your mission and dont let others tell youhow stupid it seems to them or how much you seem

    to assume upon yourself.

    Live as free from any form of elitism as you can,even if others accuse you of being elitist.

    Be humble, but dont be a throw rug for anyone.Be bold in your work but dont be a steamroller that

    flattens everyone.

    Be open, honest and sincere but dont brag or boastof your mission to excess.

    You have the authority to be yourself above and beyond

    what you are now.

    Iamnotsomeone'sspecialbugpinnedtoa poster. Iam

    nothere to beanything but what Iamanymore thananyoneelse. Therefore I willnotsitmyselfona "guru

    rock"to berespectedasanythingabove whatIam. Iam

    Spiritand Truth because the Divine withinme is Spirit

    and Truth. I did not make myself, but have become

    myselfbecauseofHim.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    38/66

    38

    17. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK MY

    TRUTH.

    You have the authority to speak your Truth because that

    is what was entrusted to you.Y

    ou do not have theauthority to speak for another person, because they must

    speak and demonstrate the Truth entrusted to them in

    their own terms.

    Your Truth is not some strange revelation that no

    one else can have. After all, the purpose of speaking

    your Truth is to share it with others. But it is your Truth

    because it has your signature on it, your own unique

    mode of expression that no one else can duplicate.

    Though what you share is universal in nature, it is

    still your Truth because of this. Others may speak of thesame things you share but the way they do it will be

    different. You should never forget that the Truth is not

    exclusive property belonging to any one person or

    group. It is public domain. And yet the variety in the

    ways it is expressed serve the purpose of reaching as

    many people as possible. This is not a one-man show,

    and you, yourself, cannot reach everyone.

    Speaking your truth in the way given to you is a

    precious gift you should honor. It is your personaluniqueness. But dont let it go to your head, because

    everyone else is so gifted as well. This is one of the

    things that make human beings unique in the animal

    kingdom.

    Speaking your Truth is the expression of your

    personal sovereignty. Your signature is also an

    expression of it. The whole Creation is stabilized by the

    balance between Order and Variety in the ways that

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    39/66

    39

    Order is expressed. Some call this ordered chaos, but

    it is more than this. Within you, this process exists and

    gives you your personality and mode of operation.

    IamaMessenger. Iamresponsiblefor theMessage I

    have beengivenandhave every right tospeakas theSpiritgivesme utterance. I do notspeak the Truth of

    anotherbutonly whathas beenentrustedtome. Thisis

    my Sacred Trust. To go beyond this is folly and an

    affront to others.My Truth hasmy Signature upon it,

    andonly I can presentitinthe waygiventome.

    40/66

    40

    18. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ALLOW

    OTHERS TO SPEAK THEIR TRUTH.

    As I just stated a moment ago, everyone has their own

    modus, there own way of doing things. Just as you havethe authority to speak your Truth, they have the

    authority to speak theirs. Just as you agreed to come

    into this life to fulfill your mandate, so they do as well.

    As you would not have others tell you what to do or

    how to do it when it comes to your work, your reason to

    be here, so you must honor their right to personal

    sovereignty and freedom of expression. No one has any

    right to deny anyone this!

    You did not come off a mass-production line, nor

    did anyone else. The problems in the world today canbe brought back to the human lust and misuse of power.

    It is a powerful thing to turn living people into zombies

    who are slaves of obedience and duty. Powerful, too, to

    play the fraidy card and terrify people into towing the

    line. But even more powerful and stable of limb is the

    power of freedom and liberty to make ones own

    decisions in life and to speak ones Truth without having

    to please the elders of organized religion.

    With every gift one receives, he also receives aresponsibility. When it comes to your right to speak

    your Truth, the responsibility you have is to respect

    everyone elses right to do the same, even if you do not

    agree with them. There is in this the issue of semantics.

    Are they telling it wrong or are you just not

    understanding their background for what they say?

    What is the difference between enumerating poultry and

    counting chickens?

    disagree with them. Every pot must sit on its own

    bottom. Every bowlmustfulfillitsown destiny,thatfor

    which it was created.Myresponsibility isformy workalone. Part of my work is not passing judgment or

    contestinganother.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    42/66

    42

    19. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WALK MY

    PATH WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR.

    Your dignity is your self-respect and your honor is your

    pure honesty in the work you do. If you do not respectyourself, you cannot expect others to do so either. If you

    have no honor, you have no self-discipline and no

    direction, and you will fall into the pit of chaos.

    The Work of the Spirit is no play-pretty that is here

    today and gone tomorrow. It is real and the most stable

    work you can do. It is not your place to scare the

    bejesus out of anyone in doing it for this would not be

    honorable. Nor is it your purpose to denigrate anyone or

    destroy their self-respect. To tread in honor is to

    endorse your own self-respect, your own dignity so thatthose around you will feel honored to be there.

    It is easy to condemn or judge another by arbitrary

    means. Much more difficult it is to show respect and to

    be respected. The best way to be respected is to be

    yourself, your true self. You are most honorable when

    you do this. Many can see through your charades and

    know what you are in truth. If you are genuine in your

    honor and dignity, you will honor the dignity of others.

    Most cultures, no matter how primitive they are,have a code of honor. It may not be the same for

    everyone, but its there nonetheless. The true human

    code of honor is not written in any book but upon the

    heart. To find it and tap its energy gives you true dignity

    beyond your wildest dreams.

    Dignity respects the beliefs of others and does not

    seek to derail them. Such respect draws honor to you

    and retards fear and distrust. As you honor and respect

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    43/66

    43

    others despite what they believe, so you must not allow

    others to rob you of your dignity and honor. Hold them

    in a sacred place. Breathe them in and exhale them,

    embrace them and make them a part of your

    consciousness and no one can take them from you. And

    being an embodiment of them, you will not dishonor thedignity of others

    20. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE FREE OF

    WANT.

    Being in need has much to do with the state of your

    consciousness. If you are in a state where you feel thatLife has cheated you out of what you need, then you

    will remain in that state. If you think that since you

    were born poor you will remain poor for the rest of your

    life, then you will remain poor.

    But if you have come to the place where you

    understand that you have within you the keys to

    overcoming these things you can do so. If you want to

    change conditions in your life change the way you look

    at them and react to them. By getting rid of the attitude

    that causes you to create the conditions you findyourself in, you come to a new level of consciousness.

    You may say that you are where you are because of

    your karma. This may be so, but the reason you are here

    is to correct things that you ignored in a previous life.

    Having bad karma does not mean you are fated to suffer

    all your life. Because you are where you are, you have

    the keys within you to overcome these weaknesses that

    keep you in want.

    You may say you dont have the education to be better than you are. The world is full of successful

    people who have no higher education than you have.

    If you want to rise above the attitude of want, you

    have the power to do so. No matter what anyone else

    tells you, this is your time to rise to the occasion and

    prove your worth, for you are worth more than you

    think you are!

    Only those who have the consciousness of poverty

    remain in poverty no matter how rich they are.Only

    me.

    21. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP MY

    TALENTS AND GIFTS AS FULLY AS POSSIBLE.

    Whatever talents and gifts you have, they were not

    given to you just because.Y

    ou have them for a reasonand that reason is to fulfill your purpose for being here.

    They are your tools to work with. If you are a carpenter

    you have in your possession the tools of your trade. You

    cannot build anything without them. So if you would

    fulfill your mission here, you will have what you need

    to do so.

    Many times you have great difficulty in assessing

    what you are here for. First of all I would tell you that

    you must search your heart, but I would also urge you to

    find out what your talents and gifts are. They will giveyou a clue. I had a minister tell me once that whatever

    ministry I had would make a way for itself. If you use

    what you have as much as you can, your reason for

    being here will unfold without uncertainty.

    Like anything else in this world, your talents and

    gifts must be developed in order to function properly. If

    you sing, you must develop your voice to the point

    where it carries a tune as efficiently as possible. If you

    play an instrument, you must practice with it untilplaying it becomes second nature to you. If you write,

    you must practice and learn from your mistakes so that

    your writing may improve.

    What do you have in your hand? What do you have

    that can be useful in your work? Learn to use it and

    your mission will demonstrate itself for what it is. This

    is your authority and power.

    22. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SHARE MY

    LOVE WITH OTHERS FREELY.

    Since you are the embodiment of Life, you are the

    manifestation of a portion of the Divine. It is the natureof the Divine to love, because God is Love.

    Love is not meant to be horded like gold but to be

    shared with others. You show your love for others when

    you treat them with respect and dignity, when you

    demonstrate to them that they have worth just as anyone

    else does. You do not judge them harshly if they fall

    into misfortune or if they do things that seem to you to

    be wrong.You do not know what their motives are or

    what is causing them to do what they do.

    When you deal with others in love, you discover thatthere is no room in your heart for arrogance and bigotry.

    If they err in their way, remember that you do too. Have

    you learned from your error what was meant for you to

    learn? If you have, you will allow the natural love you

    are to love them and encourage them on their way.

    You cannot give yourself to bitterness because of

    past hurts. You cannot hate yourself and lash out at

    others unjustly because you are hurting inside. This

    personal hurt is where much of the condemnation andjudgmentalism comes from. It is contrary to the natural

    love that you express without effort.

    You have the right to let this natural love flow and

    heal the bitterness of your own heart and to demonstrate

    it to others. You are a Divine Being. Love gives you a

    higher consciousness so that you can embrace others

    with open arms and an open heart.

    God is Love. God is the Divine Consciousness within

    things I demonstrate the LoveofGodandembraceall

    23. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE

    ROMANTIC.

    In order to be able to demonstrate the Love that you are

    daily becoming, you must come to grips with the nature

    of your human self. You are a sensual person, and you

    cannot deny this and be whole. It is a false concept to

    think that you cannot be a sensual person and a Spiritual

    one at the same time.

    This sensuality is not just about sex. It is true that

    two people who are to be together are sexually attracted

    to each other, but they are attracted in other ways as

    well on the mental and Spiritual levels. This is the

    secret of true romance to discover and build upon this

    attraction of the wholeness of person on every level.Romance is the discovery by each person of the

    other. It does not happen all at once, but builds little by

    little as each invites the other into their world. It is

    based on mutual trust and understanding. While each

    explores the other ones world, they do so without

    trying to change anything, but accept without judging

    what they find. When they understand what makes the

    other tick a relationship can develop and they can bond

    with each other for life.When the two become one in this way they will

    compliment the other in their personal development on

    all levels. Of course there will be disagreements and

    spats, but true love finds a way where there seems to be

    no way. Remember that as an expression of the Divine

    Life that is the essence of every life form, it is natural to

    love with everything you have and are.

    24. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SEE WITH A

    CLEAR EYE THE TRUTH OF ALL THINGS.

    There is within you a Reality that knows all things

    you need to know to fulfill your purpose for being here.All the knowledge, all the wisdom is there. All you have

    to do is tap into it.

    It is true that there are those who want to withhold

    the Truth from you, the Truth about who you really are

    and what you are really here for. They want to drag you

    down into accepting the message of the ages as they see

    it. It does not matter to them if what they tell you is true

    or not. What they try to teach you was taught to them

    and they feel obligated to indoctrinate you.

    But you have a mind to think with. You are able toreason things out and to blend your reasoning with the

    intuitive portion of your thought processes. You have a

    Sacred Heart that guides you into the right paths.

    Many times what you learn from the Divine within

    you will not agree with what you have been taught over

    the years. Before you learn the real Truth, you will have

    to unlearn the teachings of the false dream. In many

    cases that takes some doing, and a lot of courage. You

    are the only one who can determine if you have it.It does not matter what others think about that which

    you acquire from the Divine and Sacred Heart. For the

    courageous True Heart, only the Truth matters. If you

    lose friends over the matter of the Truth, were they your

    friends, your jailers or just fearful of taking their stand

    as you have?

    25. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO

    MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT HAVING TO

    ANSWER TO ANY BUT GOD.

    The false dream teaches you that you are too dumbto make an intelligent decision about many things in

    your life. Whether it holds up the education card, the IQ

    card or whatever, it tries to convince you that to go

    beyond the accepted concepts is unacceptable and then

    punish you if you do so with social odium and

    condemnation.

    The foundation of the false dream is fear and duty.

    The duty it implies is to uphold the status quo, the

    acceptable order, whether it be religious, political or

    otherwise. It seems to be rooted deeply within thehuman psyche to resist any kind of change, yet

    evolution is fueled by it. The growth of any species is

    governed by its ability to accept change as part of its

    growth process.

    You may consider yourself to be an instrument of

    change. Before you attempt to change others, you will

    need to change yourself, and this will require that you

    accept the changes that come in your life as for the

    good, not only of yourself, but also of those who areassociated with you. The best way to do this is to

    discover who you really are and then just be yourself.

    This does not require you to be a superhero, just to

    be you, to eat, sleep, and do your work as yourself. You

    must do this twenty-four hours a day, seven days a

    week. What you do, after all, has your signature on it,

    so it should be of the greatest integrity.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    55/66

    55

    Despite what others think, only you can put forth the

    effort to do what you need to do in order to allow the

    changes to take place within you that must occur.

    want. Thatismy decision.

    26. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HELP

    OTHERS WHEN I CAN.

    This dog-eat-dog world tells you to look out for number

    one despite all others. So what if you mash a few toesand ruin a few lives. Its a jungle out there! Only the

    most fit and the strongest survive, and if you dont,

    thats just tough.

    People who think like this wind up in the hospital

    more often or in accidents or other problems because

    they are inviting the other dogs to eat them. The old rule

    is still that you reap what you sow. So if you terrorize

    others for your personal benefit, you can, in the long

    run, forget about benefiting but as you get terrorized

    yourself. If you ruin lives to get your own way, your lifewill end up on the garbage heap.

    This is why the most wise among humankind have

    taught to give of yourself for the sake of others. It is not

    just an obligation but a right, and demonstrates your

    humanity, passing the seed of kindness from one to the

    other. Since you reap what you sow, you attract to

    yourself the goodness of others in accordance with what

    you have sown.

    This does not mean to imply that you are everyonesslave and that you must neglect your own work to help

    others. You dare not, in fact, neglect your work, for it is

    intended to better the lot of all concerned. If you

    become everyone elses slave you cease being yourself,

    and this you must not do. You cease being effective

    when you cannot express your own abilities in the ways

    given to you.

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    57/66

    57

    There are those who use your authority to help

    others as a way of having authority over you. By

    keeping your mind on what they think you should do,

    they seek to keep you out of focus to your real authority

    to be there where you are really needed, which is not

    necessarily where they want you.Y

    ou know in yourheart where you are most effective.

    Always you have freedom of choice. You can be an

    angel or a devil as you please, but you must understand

    that each has its reward.

    It isgiven to me to be available to be ofservice to

    others when I can. This does not mean that I am

    everyone'sslave. Itsimplymeans that when there isa

    need I cananswer, I willhelp asmuchas I can. WhatI

    can domaynot be whateveryone wants, but it will bewhat I can do and do well. In this Istay within the

    range of my own capacity, which is wisdom. Andyet

    27. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENCOURAGE

    ALL WHO ARE DOWNCAST AND SAD.

    Everyone faces times of discouragement and sadness.

    Everyone has been through those dark nights of things

    that go bump in the night. When one goes through

    these things, the last thing they need is to be treated

    without compassion and understanding, to be told to

    get over it.

    Whether one faces the death of a loved one, the loss

    of a job, house or car or has been discouraged by people

    who do not understand what he is feeling, you have the

    authority to step in and help that person in whatever

    way you can. You cannot go through their experience

    for them, but can only support them as they experienceit for themselves. By being kind and compassionate

    without being mushy you can do more by what you

    dont say than be what you say many times. But you

    have the authority to be there for them if that is where

    you are.

    I know that in the many times I have experienced

    these things, I was most encouraged by those who were

    just there for me than by those who preached at me.

    When I was grieving over my wife who had just died Iwanted to throw a brick at someone who told me I was

    just wanting sympathy and that I was not a real man

    because I cried so much. This is not the right way to

    exercise ones authority to be there. Love does not call

    anybody names or seek to degrade anyone. It just loves,

    and that is what I needed at the time.

    When things get out of control for others, you have

    the authority to be in control of your excessive need to

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    59/66

    59

    help when such would be detrimental to the situation.

    One does not help a chick hatch or a butterfly to come

    from the cocoon, though a word of encouragement in

    the midst of the struggle never hurts. One who acts by

    sometimes not acting can be of great benefit. One who

    jumps in and helps without considering what they aredoing can do great damage to the one they are trying to

    help.

    One must face what he must face in his experience

    in life and no one has the authority to interfere.

    Sometimes its the experience of things that gives

    strength and teaches one to live as fully as he can.

    I amgiven the incentive to encourage those who are

    downcastbecauseofthingsthey cannotseemto control.

    I canunderstandthis because I've beenthereand knowwhat itfeels like. I can minister to thesad ofspirit

    becausethis,too, I know andunderstand. Whateveritis

    28. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SEE MY

    VISION FULFILLED.

    Your own personal vision is given to you to fulfill. As

    we have said before, you chose to fulfill it before youwere born. That means you have the authority to see it

    through, and you have every right to do what you must

    do in order to do so.

    It is true that there are those who would come to you

    and try to lay down some ground rules for fulfilling

    your purpose. If what they say does not agree with your

    vision, something is wrong. You may have to make a

    choice between pleasing them and retaining your own

    peace of mind by following your heart.

    Others cannot give you rules to follow when itcomes to fulfilling your vision. They do not have the

    authority. It is your vision, and you are the only one

    who can decide what to do with it. You have the

    authority to set the rules you follow, and you have

    Divine Guidance from the Divine Consciousness within

    you to make the proper choices.

    It may be that when you do this, others will question

    your authority to do so. The methodology you follow

    may be different than the things they believe.Y

    ou musthave the assurance in your heart, the conviction, to

    stand upon your decision in what you do. You cannot

    conform to public opinion, but to your own heart, you

    must be true.

    It may seem to be a hard choice before you, to take

    the initiative to pioneer new territory. It is a choice

    every teacher of Light has had to face. You have the

    wherewithal within you to do what you must for the

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    61

    good of all concerned. But you already know that you

    do not walk your path alone.

    62/66

    29. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE FREE OF

    MY GREATEST FEARS.

    There is both Light and Darkness within everyone.

    There are things that make you feel well with the worldand with God, but there are other things that make you

    cringe and pull back, things you know are within you

    that you would rather leave alone and not deal with. It is

    a time when you must take a deep breath and have the

    courage to face them.

    Often you will find that those things hidden in

    darkness are meant to be there and can be faced when

    you have reached the Spiritual maturity to have them

    revealed to you. Often, too, you will find that some of

    these things, blown all out of proportion by religiousteachers, are not what you thought they were. You have

    been so uptight about them that you could not see them

    for what they were and are.

    Truth is the Revealer of all things, and much of what

    it reveals is unpleasant, mostly because your attitude

    about them has been so unbalanced. Wisdom helps you

    balance your perceptions in order that you may make

    wise decisions based on what Truth reveals instead of

    what religious and social teachers tell you. Perhaps thisapproach may cause you to be criticized and badgered

    by well meaning but blind friends, but always Truth

    wins out and you arise as victor.

    This is not to say that there are not things within us

    all that must be done away with altogether as we

    become aware of their detrimental effects. Yet the tool

    we have to work with is transmutation. Transmutation,

    not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master,

  • 8/8/2019 30 Things You have a Right to do

    63/66

    63

    says the Hermetic Philosophers. This is the ability to

    take that which is detrimental and transform it into that

    which is beneficial, this, for the good of all concerned.

    Therefore one learns to not reject Darkness and

    embrace Light, but to know and understand that both

    are parts of your wholeness, that one cannot becomplete without the other. This is contrary to most

    religious and social teaching, but it is the only authentic

    Path to Peace.

    30. I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE A

    CONDUIT OF HEALING TO EVERYONE I CAN.

    Healing is your birthright. You may not be a doctor or a

    nurse, but you have the power and the right to bringhealing to others. You need not address a specific

    ailment, but when you become a conduit of healing

    energy, the energy knows where to go. You need not

    know about pills or herbs. You but need be an avenue

    through which the healing flows.

    Healing is energy. Since you are energy as well, you

    come from the same Source as healing energy comes.

    Therefore it is only natural for you to be able to tap into

    that Source and allow it to flow. Since energy is a

    flowing essence, you get out of the way as far as yourown thinking is concerned, and just allow it to flow.

    The Source may be called many things the Power

    of God, Universal Energy, Reiki or a number of other

    things but it all works the same. It all works to bring

    balance and harmony to the being, which is its natural

    state. It recognizes that all illness and pain comes from

    a disruption of the harmony of the body, mind and

    spirit. In restoring the harmony, the being becomes

    whole again.It is your right to help bring this about in any way

    you can. It may come when you feed someone who is

    hungry not all sickness comes from germs and viruses

    or comfort a grieving mother. Whatever opportunity

    you have, you have the authority to help heal the world!

    Everythingisenergy,includingmyself. Becauseofthis,
