Listen to yourself

Occasionally, answers come even without our explicit asking, even with a sense of urgency. More often than not, this may be interpreted as a warning.

I have experienced a feeling of fear, coming from within my chest, or rather, I believe is actually through my spiritual heart (which is also where the physical heart is located), more than once, each time prompting me not to take a particular action, when I was just about to do so.

The first time I felt this way I was genuinely puzzled and can see no reason why. I went ahead anyway and quickly found out why.

You see, this is exactly what I am talking about, the answer(which can take the form of a feeling) that comes without your thinking it, which may even puzzle you if you do think about it (after receiving the answer).

As a matter of fact, if you want to have any kind of success in your life, you should be listening to yourself. What it comes down to, there is nothing else you need to do except to listen to yourself, and act on the information you have received.

Listen to yourself most of the time if not all the time but definitely listen when it feels urgent. The feeling is unmistakable.

Ask yourself

Perhaps the most important lesson I have learnt (and am still learning) in life is to listen to myself. And if I can't hear it, I have learnt to ask myself and wait for the answer.

Whatever I need, I know is already within me, I need only access it.

I have found out for myself that the answer that comes without my thinking it is the most accurate. Sometimes, the answer to my question comes almost instantaneously.

Another way is to submit a question just before I sleep. The answer comes upon my waking up. For me, this method works well with a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

It is really quite simple - submit a question and allow the answer to come through. Do not block this process by dwelling on it. Our part is only to ask and then act on the information we receive.
In a nutshell :

1. Submit
2. Receive
3. Act

And with that, we can move on in the business called life.

Morning Has Been All Night Coming

An excerpt from the introduction by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. & bestselling author:

John Harricharan’s new book takes off where 'When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat', leaves off.

In a sense, it’s a continuation of the first book, although either one could be read independently of the other. When you read it, you’ll love the style.

You will see the ordinary life of an average man who becomes a widower and tries to raise two children by himself. He worries about making a living, taking care of the two children, and still has time, in a way, to grow spiritually and emotionally.



An excerpt from the preface by John Harricharan :

But sometimes, there is a high price to be paid for this growth and understanding— tears in the night, fears and guilt lurking in dark corners and the constant pressures of everyday living. This is where we face our greatest battles — regretting the past and fearing the future. This is, also, where we can attain our greatest victories — living in the present.

We are never alone, even though all our senses may be testifying to this “fact,” and crying out in pain; even though it appears that hope has died and all we held dear has been blown to the winds.

There is a Presence and a Power, there is a purpose and a plan and if we keep on keeping on, we shall finally prevail.

Journey in the Fields of Forever

An excerpt from the introduction by John Harricharan:

Why do roadblocks always appear at the most inopportune moment? Where is help when we are down in the arena and boots are on our necks? Why am I here and where am I going? Will I ever again see my loved ones who have died? And so it goes . . . on and on.

...But such uncertainties are not new...

What we must do is reinterpret the way we look at the world. Perhaps, then, we may find that life is biased on the side of good, that difficulties have a way of passing...

With new meaning and understanding, we will find the world to be a much friendlier place, our home away from home. Then will we be able to stand calm when the lightning strikes, to be patient in the midst of the storm and to be centered in the midst of chaos.

All roads lead home. May you enjoy the adventures in the Fields of Forever.

When You Can Walk on Water Take the Boat (2/2)

The gist of this book is something extraordinary. Be prepared for the greater part which makes up our reality - the invisible world or worlds.

At the very least it is entertaining. At the most, your mental horizons will be challenged, more so if this is your first time to be acquainted with such.

Be prepared to expand mentally. (Don't worry, you will not be tested emotionally like the author.)

As I read, I half pondered in wonder. Is it possible? Some people may think that it is possible but then wonder if it is real.

Why wouldn't it be real if it was possible?

When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat (1/2)

An excerpt from the introduction by Brad Steiger, a prolific author of over 150 books:

I think everyone enjoys the thrill of discovery, the inner joy of unearthing some previously undetected gem of thought, idea, or philosophical concept that one is certain will soon become immensely popular and widely heralded.

I had that thrill and joy of discovery in 1985 when my dear friend John Harricharan sent me his “just finished” manuscript for my opinion.

Through a powerful progression of dramatic lessons, “John” comes to understand that all the pain, chaos, and confusion is actually trying to teach us that we chose to put on the fleshly clothes of Earth to fulfill a mission of spiritual growth.

All the the chaotic, swirling energy around us can be interpreted as quagmires of death and depression—or as opportunities for life and learning.

...timeless enchantment...



An excerpt from the preface by John Harricharan:

Life is lived from within and one can never be hurt by what appears to be happening outside. You can change circumstances, if you so desire — for your only purpose in life is to make choices.
Once the choice is made, the entire universe moves to bring into fruition that which you chose.

Read on then, with an open mind and let yourself ask you questions. Many of these truths you already know, but may only have forgotten. Let us remember together the true nature of our being.

Who is John Harricharan?

John Harricharan is an outstanding businessman, lecturer and award-winning author of a unique blend of East and West.

A naturalized U.S. citizen born in Guyana, South America of East Indian heritage, he is truly a multi-cultural, global personality.

As well, he exhibits a rare sensitivity and charismatic delivery which have earned him well deserved respect and acclaim.

Do not be deceived however, into thinking that his life must be a smooth sailing one. It was, before it spiraled downward. The events that led to both are incorporated in his lectures and his writings, which, rather than being stories of loss and sadness are, instead, inspiring tales of courage, strength and the dignity of the human spirit.

In his present career, he has shared the lecture platform with such well-known speakers as Deepak Chopra, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Og Mandino, Gerald Jampolsky, Foster Hibbard, Eric Butterworth, C. Everett Koop and others.

Who was John Harricharan?

The way I met John was through the pages of one of his books.

To me, John is first and foremost, a writer. Later through the pages of his book, I found that here was a man steep in experience.

John originated from a poor family, however, he has gone far, literally and otherwise. John excelled academically and career wise.

There came a time however, that he begun to go down the hill. First, his career and then the people close to his heart. This must be the most challenging period of his life.

Perhaps you are curious to know the details, I however, prefer you to find out for yourself, the way I had, in his own words.

Suffice to say, I can imagine how humbling it must be for a man to be in the way he was. Better not to give a person something, only to take it away later.

As John says, "I know what it feels like to have my car repossessed, to watch my wife die of cancer, to lose all earthly possessions and start again from ground zero. I also know what it feels like to write an award-winning book, to be written about in others' books and to be featured in the same book with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip of Great Britain, the Dalai Lama and Paul and Linda McCartney. The contrasts bring compassion and sensitivity to one's life."
