This book is entirely devoted to self-discovery without discussion of religious views or beliefs. The Native American Medicine Wheel is a tool used in this book for the purpose of self-discovery without any religious context. The Native American Medicine Wheel has been used for thousands of years for healing and transformation. It uses the four directions, connecting us to the forces of nature and the cycles of life. Movement in the Medicine Wheel is circular in a clockwise direction. The directions can also represent stages of life such as; birth, youth, adult, death; or seasons of the year such as spring, summer, winter, fall; or aspects of life such as spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical; or elements of nature such as fire, air, water, and earth; or animals such as eagle, snake, jaguar, buffalo, and many others.Quote from the book: "The human race has been on a path of self-destruction throughout history. War has been the underlying foundation of civilization. Now, humanity has reached the stage of technology that has the ability to destroy all life on earth. What can be done to stop humanity from reaching the point of total destruction? The answer is contained within each individual. Everyone must find their own way to awaken their consciousness and evolve beyond savagery. If enough people awaken, the awakened consciousness will spread like the hundredth monkey effect."Table of Contents: IntroductionAwakeningConsciousnessMindfulness and Ego Control BattlesIt Started in SedonaThe Journey BeginsEast 2009South 2009West 2009North 2009East 2018South 2018West 2018North 2018Your Personal Journey - Part 1 - Beginning with a CameraYour Personal Journey - Part 2 - Beginning AssignmentsYour Personal Journey - Part 3 - EastYour Personal Journey - Part 4 - SouthYour Personal Journey - Part 5 - WestYour Personal Journey - Part 6 - NorthYour Personal Journey - Part 7 - Journey ReflectionThe Genesis MeditationDesktop YogaBrainicityT
