Play the (Right) Game

By Peter Shepherd

It is sometimes hard to reconcile the physical realities of life with the high-level spiritual truth that you create your own reality. I think we need to look at it this way. Life is a game, and games necessarily have these elements: freedoms (to choose and act), barriers (to define the field of play) and problems (challenges to overcome). The wholeness is broken up - we move from knowing to not knowing - in order to become whole again. There are three types of game that each of us plays here on Earth:

Physical Game:
Within the fixed boundaries of physics, a reality we share with everyone else, we can create by moving, building, touching, and so on. As far as the body is concerned, it's a survival game, a playing field of eating, sex, emotion and effort. Here we need to illustrate and obtain agreement about changes we want to make, or we can expect to find opposition.

Mental Game:
We create our own reality in our minds through our interpretation of events, based on beliefs that we have learned through negative and positive learning experiences. Our world view is through this colored filter, which is different for each person. It may be under our control or reactive and irrational. We also may adopt many different identities, and accompanying filters, according to the various situations and relationships in our lives.

Spiritual Game:
We only occasionally awaken to this level, which is the viewpoint of pure will, determined by unlimited communication, understanding and empathy. This is what we might call God's love, of which we all are essentially an integral part. There are no physical barriers from this view, and the game is one of reconnecting with the benefit of shared experience. This is the source that is ultimately responsible for creation.

We play at all levels simultaneously, and they each have truths that appear to contradict but actually are complementary, when seen like this.

Daring to be Yourself
Daring to be Yourself The aim of the new book, Daring to be Yourself by Peter Shepherd, is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities which set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture.

This 264-page paperback book is like a "best of" Trans4mind - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and reveal your full potential with this step-by-step approach... Daring to be Yourself

Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links.
"I realize many people use praise in ways that sound frivolous...but I must tell you that your book has changed my life AND I mean that in all ways. I found the entire work wonderfully upbeat, readable and valuable! It really was quite a wakeup call. In the midst of my "trials and tribulations" I had failed to be "me." Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA

Begin your life afresh... Daring to be Yourself is included with purchase of the Start a New Life! home-study course, which is effectively the practical "workbook" that accompanies the paperback!

Working through this course enables you to dare to be yourself and design a brand new life. Expressing your true needs, wants and feelings, you can start to live your life's purpose!

After you have purchased the course, Peter Shepherd is available whenever you wish by email, to guide you every step of the way from where you are now, until you are established in a brand new life - the life that you have designed... Start a New Life!

The Insight Project

eagleThe most advanced approach to personal spiritual discovery and the enhancement of consciousness applies the techniques of 'The Insight Project' - meaning "to transcend or rise above programming".

This site provides a full introduction to the subject and explains how it is possible for you to re-discover the Higher Self - that is, the real you. From the more objective, bird's-eye view which is the Higher Self, it becomes possible to rise above the programming imprinted by the experiences and cultural conditioning of your current lifetime and beyond, as well as the programs genetically inherited. These insights bring wisdom: acceptance and understanding. One is no longer limited to an ego-centric identity, in contrast to one's true potential of unlimited love, life and truth.

"In my view, The Insight Project is without doubt the safest, soundest and most powerful method of self-development available. After searching for countless years and unsuccessfully trying many different approaches, I've finally found my path. Peter's personal coaching has made possible for me to achieve in a few months what I thought would take a lifetime."
--E. Espinar-Mick (USA)

The course is delivered in PDF format, and comes with unlimited email support from Peter Shepherd. It is necessary to use a GSR biofeedback monitor to do The Insight Project: we recomend the Clarity Meter, not the cheapest but in our opinion the best.
