Book Cover & Preview Text
Garden of consciousness
Phytagoras was not just anybody
He taught us how to calculate the side of a triangle
Triangulation they call that now
He taught us the harmony of the strings
He held deep knowledge on how
To live your life
In harmony
He said that there are 7 life circles
Each containing 7 years
These seven-year cycles make up our life experience
So, at 49 you arrive either at wisdom or despair
Now, standing there at the terminal station
You just might want to look back
At the spiral of your life
Then remember that the first three cycles of the seven
Are the most formative:
In the first you grow your instincts
In the second you grow your emotion
In the third you grow your logic
So how can I live peacefully
If one of these circles are damaged?
That is why I must do my work.
In all these circles many people have planted the seeds
Of their own beliefs and fears
those seeds are now growing in your consciousness
So how can I live in peace
if one of these circles in my garden of consciousness are full of weed and misgrowth?
That is why I must do my work.
That is why I must become a gardener.
A gardener of my consciousness

About the Book
This book testifies to one aspect of existence, namely the reality of a so-called “Inner life”.
It is about creating, establishing, and evolving an inner life as a basis of hope. It is about nurturing and maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself and your spirit.
A rich inner life is cardinal to the well-being of any human, and this book is about that. In the humdrum of everyday life; e-mails, iPad policies, mid-life crisis, menopause, budget-cuts, fake news, climate change, and what have you; this book is about hope.
About building hope. Nurturing hope. Expressing hope.
For what you might ask? That there might soon be a future, where we all realize that love is the highest expression of knowledge, truth, and progress. Our engine of survival.
