You Are Always Your Own Experience!

I am a spiritual (not religious) person. Not really feeling comfortable at first with the heavy use of God in this book, I eventually came to hear the wisdom coming through. Interesting coincidence, since I became upon the book at my grandmothers house after she passed. This purchase was a gift for a friend. Highly suggest this book to those looking for positive change in their life. Reading it all the way through is suggested, but even here and there tidbits will give you something to think on, at the very least. Whenever I'm feeling down about something, I read a few pages at random and I instantly shift into a greater mindset. Feeling at peace once owning up to the responsibility you have for YOUR self, YOUR emotions, YOUR actions, you come to find your life the beautiful reality that "You Are Always Your Own Experience".

This book is one of my favorite books. It challenges the reader to accept responsibility for ones life, in all areas, by seeing the logic in the idea that you are always experiencing yourself. No matter how hard a person tries, it is only aspects of your own personality which, in the final analysis, you experience. Therefore, why not accept that we are all one and are all God? That is the bane of this book, that we are all God and that to even think about other people (as seperate from ourselves) introduces fear into our experience. And no one deliberately wants to experience fear, right? Tim Johnson uses a logical method of proving, I believe, to just about anyone, what he calls The Law of the Mind. This is the idea that we chose to experience our lives based on that which we identify with, whether we know we are doing this or not. It is his contention that if we identify with God ( and therefore love, joy and kindness), we would experience God ( and love, joy and kindness). If everyone in the world experienced themselves as God, would we have war? It is the ultimate book on peace, as far as I am concerned. For me, it's ideas were enhanced by reading The Posture of Meditation: A Practical Manual to Mediataors of all Traditions.
