I don’t see how spirituality can NOT be everybody’s business. That’s like saying that water is not a fishes’ business. Without an aquatic environment, fish have no life.

Once in a few millennium there is a Great Fish that makes the transition from sea to land and begins breeding a new species. But that’s like the difference between angels and humans. We don’t exist in the same realm.

To them (angels), we appear weak, foolish, and gullible. It’s as if they’re watching through a one-way mirror that’s on their side. Cultivate the inner voice as you go about your daily business of involvement with the planet.

QUESTION: WHY DID I DECIDE TO POST THESE BOOKS HERE?

PAULO COELHO: First, because I need to write, and I write more than the market can absorve. Second, because I believe in free contents. Third: although I wish I could share all my books, the publishing houses have the translation rights. So these are the only ones that I have the translation rights.  LINK TO FREE E-BOOKS

The teachings of Jesus form the basis of the Christian religion.

But many of his sayings and stories have been so well-known across the world for so long that rarely does the average person look closely at what Jesus was really trying to explain.

Assumptions about the meanings of his words have often been accepted without question and simply passed down from generation to generation.

In a unique and insightful book, author Philip Harris re-examines many of these famous, ancient quotes and suggests that Jesus actually had a precise understanding of The Law of Attraction.

And he argues that this knowledge about Universal Law is what really lies at the heart of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Despite Jesus Taught It Too being a top seller in the Law of Attraction category at Amazon.com, Mr Harris has donated his work to PsiTek to be freely published online for the benefit of readers across the world.
