I considered wisdom and almost used it, but I think the word intelligence is more accurate.

Wisdom sounds too passive, like you're sitting on great knowledge but not actually doing anything with it except appearing wise and dispensing wisdom to people who consult you.

Intelligence sounds a little colder, but to me it better reflects the principle of power (i.e. action).

How does your model address striving for things and achievements that is actually a response to feeling lack in life?

That it seems many are into improvement only because they aren't happy with the way things are right now. It's a reaction to try to fix something instead of finding a way to become whole and improve from that state.

I'm also curious as to whether I can change my mailing address once I've placed the order - considering, I don't know where I'll be living in October, but I know I won't be living where I'm currently living!

Amazon charges when the book ships -- i.e. in October. You can change you order (including shipping address) anytime before the shipping process starts.

I've already been talking with a consultant who works with non-profits to get advice on how to start one. Apparently there's a lot of red tape involved.
I'm intrigued by this idea, any chance of posting a bit more detail on it? I'm considering starting a local group with some friends along the same lines (inspired by that post).

Unfortunately I have too much on my plate these days to get into the details right now.

Question

Pre-ordered and looking forward to!



Q: Does pleasure/joy/excitement fit into this paradigm, or does that only constitute feedback (as in The Joy of Sadness)?

Yup, emotions are covered. It would take a book to explain how though.

Based on this post and the SP e-mail, I have been puting these principles to work, powerful indeed. Do you distinguish in the book the difference between Power and the darkworker(fear) power ???


Can't wait to see where discipline, (commitment to)excellence and healing fit in, I have my assumptions already and working with those ...

Steve, i guess Richard Garriott will love to see how Ultima IV influenced you if you send him a book. But perhaps you already thought to it

Anyone have any experience with the sites suggested by campusi.com? Best price is USD 18.something for me.

I guess that means that you can use the concepts in the book and apply them to polarisation?

You said somewhere (I can't remember where) that the whole point of life is for us to play with the different energies and eventually choose which path we were going to polarise on. But the whole concept of polarisation seems to have this community split (no I don't mean as in darkworker or lightworker :-) I mean as in half love the idea and the other half dismiss it. Are you planning on writing anymore about polarisation?

Yes, I think it would be a great topic to explore deeply in a future book.

As the intersection of Truth, Love and Power does self-actualisation fit?

Hi everyone!

I live in Estonia, where it is not possible to order books from amazon.com or bn.com. If there is any other way to pre-order the book online, please let me know; I just have to have it!

upd: Steve, have you thought about turning it into an e-book and making it available for downloading for those who aren't able to order the hardcover copy?

Hi Maria, If you copy the ISBN from Amazon and take it to your local book shop they should be able to order it for you. That is what I did.

Thanks, Michelle! I don't think that our book shops are that helpful, but will certainly ask them if that can be arranged. How is it done in Switzerland, do they send the book to your home address, or do you have to come and pick it up?

They should be helpful - don't they want the business?

Here I can just write them an e-mail or go there personally with the ISBN (or just print out the Amazon page so they see all the info). Then when it arrives they send it to my house for a small fee or I can go pick it up. I have ordered many books that way ...

Problem solved! Forum members Playlife and Mai-Liis were kind enough to send me a link to our local online book shop where I can order the book from - thanks again guys, you made my day. And Michelle, your advice is much appreciated!
