Discover The Self

tried to take responsibility for how I felt, but I also felt abandoned by God.  And then the
next day when I woke up I felt a sense of lightness and relief I had never experienced
before.  That feeling continued for about two weeks and since then it’s been a battle of
finding and losing that feeling.

These days on my way to work, on the train, I try to still my mind and I can feel this
stillness that never changes, it’s as if it’s just watching.  I did the exercise of writing my
suppressed feelings. I had no idea that they would affect me, but when I read it to myself I
cried like a child.  I don't remember the last time I cried straight from the heart. On the train
today, when I was trying to still my mind, I fell into a light sleep for a while and I was kind of
floating over the ocean and there were dark and heavy clouds directly above me.  
Suddenly I stopped and turned around to see in a distant doves flying towards this light
and I thought that’s where I need to go.  Unfortunately I woke up in that instant. Then just
now I read your dream about the spider turning into two doves, which I guess symbolizes
freedom and peace from our minds.

I still fall into the old habits of having this intense fear come over me every now and then,
but then I find that stillness and for a while everything seems ok.  At this stage I'm all over
the place, but I have found a new hope.  I have found a connection with God, which I
vaguely remember having as a child.  I know that this stillness is God and I believe that he
waits for every one of us to find him in ourselves.                                               

God bless,

You are so right about loving yourself! It is the key to experiencing love and life in every
way. What freedom! I’ve been practicing a loving-kindness meditation recently and
discovered that to give and receive love you must first love your Self to fully experience true
giving and receiving of loving-kindness with others. I’m learning to show up for my Self!
Your insight is great. I have had many years of similar experiences in showing up for and
giving my love to others instead of my Self. I thought it was the answer. I think you are right
that the conditioning we receive and operate from can lead us to so many distractions.
The intention can be for the Greater Good; however, without Self love there is still a
missing piece. Maybe it did serve a need in the past. I found that when I would “give and
give” I felt left out. It was me who was leaving my Self out! Now I’m realizing and
experiencing the boundless possibilities. It’s magnificent!

I’m about halfway through your book [and] I have to tell you that your words on releasing
past hurts and releasing pain through facing painful experiences and feelings are so
accurate. I have found that working through past pain and acceptance of all of my feelings
is liberating. It’s certainly difficult and can leave you only with your Self and God. That is the
beauty of the experience. I am so very happy that you are sharing that with your book. It will
truly enable others to know that it is all good. Thank you for that. Thank you again for your
insights. I truly look forward to talking with you soon.
Peace and Love,
Kelley

I first discovered your book online during my quest for the Self, after reading your book, the
lights inside my head went from 50 watts to 150 watts. It was a true enlightening
experience.

It has taken me a while to get a clear understanding of how your book has helped me
discover my Self.  Until yesterday, I couldn't find a great way to explain it. Yesterday
morning, I woke up feeling irritated, not understanding why, I was irritated at the smallest
things: I was irritated at the way my father was driving, (we carpool); I was irritated
because certain things weren't done. This irritation was interrupting the happiness that I’
ve been feeling for these last few months. I couldn't understand why my happiness was
being interrupted and why these little things were taking on so much strength over myself
and emotions.

I opened your book, I scrolled through some pages and everything I read, no matter where
I stopped, you talked about Identifying with the Self. I realized that I had to ask myself an
important question, “What am I identifying?”  I closed my eyes and meditated (in stillness)
and the images that circled inside my head were the dreams from the night before. It was
like my dreams weren’t finished and I was getting a recap of everything I had dreamed. I
don't remember the dreams exactly, but yesterday there were images of them, nothing
dramatic or impactful, but strong enough that they were plaguing me by continuously
running around in my head.

When I came back from my meditation, I realized that there must have been something
deep rooted in my subconscious mind that those dreams triggered; so deep, that I don't
know what it was. But once I came back from meditation, I felt better.  I was identifying with
myself, my happiness, my being; I was in my bliss. In turn, my day went back to the way all
my days have been - full of joy, happiness and acceptance for everything that is around
me. LOVE, exactly how I am feeling right now as I am writing you this.

Mr. Fairhart, your book has given me the power to know that all the answers are within
myself. I don’t have to worry about ever feeling lost, when all I have to do is be in touch
with myself and ask myself who am I identifying with.  Thank YOU!!!  Thank you again for
the newsletters!!! I look forward to them every month.  Joe U.

I found this book helpful with social anxieties I experienced in my life. Compulsive
thoughts are now a challenge instead of a curse. I learned not to doubt myself and live
each day in peace. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone secure in themselves or
not, to gain insight and awareness to carry on in daily life.  Thank you for the experiences
this book
taught me.  Thank you again for all your support,  Carol

I’m just half way through reading your book.  I'm
actually surprised at how good this book is. I guess I
have been on a search for self-discovery for about four
years.  It’s been a very tough time for me, but I
suppressed my feelings for a long time and most
people in my life have no idea that internally I' m a
complete mess.
 

About a month ago I got sick of the whole thing and I
said I don't care anymore.  I'm going to stop the
search because the more I search the harder it gets.  I
