In chapter 8, I discuss, Who is my true self?
Centering Prayer is vital to this process. It is important to connect to our true self on a daily basis and then live from this person.
We need not only short-term true self goals but long-term true self goals.
Too often we forget about our long-term true self goals.

“Merton leads us along the journey to God in which the self that begins the journey is not the self that arrives. The self that begins is the self that we thought ourselves to be. It is this self that dies along the way until in the end “no one” is left. This “no one” is our true self.”

James Finley
Enter the mind and heart of a legend of contemplative Christianity.
Over the past few decades, we’ve coached hundreds of people who struggle with achieving their goals and deliberately creating the life they want. So we created this program to handle those struggles.
We’re confident it can help if you’ve ever thought or said anything like:
“I set goals every year, but seldom achieve them.”
“I want to go after my dreams, but don’t know where to start.”
“I need more money to get the things I want, but I have no idea how to get it.”
“I want to be happier, healthier and enjoy peace of mind.”
“I struggle with really believing I can accomplish my goals and dreams.”
“I’ve spent my life helping to build other people’s dreams, but not my own.”
Magic In Your Mind shows you how ANYONE can experience miraculous moments and create lasting success by developing their higher faculties.
