Introduction

What you are about to read is truly unheard of. I am going to write for you a collection of meaningful writings that consists of a booklet, five poems, five songs, five speeches, five essays, and thoughts of the day. I am going to write all this in just one day’s time. Well, I must say that if I don’t leave a lasting impression on you after you read this collection of meaningful writings, something is definitely wrong. I certainly hope that you not only enjoy reading this collection of meaningful writings but also gain much from it.

I also included in this collection of writings a brief summary of the techniques that I currently practice and a very short book on the four worthy causes that I stand for, which I wrote on the second day.

1 The Making of a Fabulous Life

Introduction

We humans, for the most part, can make our lives fabulous if we choose to. We are generally given free rein to be exactly what we wish to be. It is generally up to us how we want our lives to be like. I know very well that this may not be true for those unfortunate ones who have certain physical handicaps and/or severe mental disorders, and I also know that the external world is also a major factor in how we live our lives, but for the most part, we do have a great amount of control over how we make our lives to be. I had discovered ways of making my life much better than before as I believe that I am heading toward a fabulous life. In this booklet, I shall share with you many of the reasons why my life is in the making of being fabulous.

1 The Techniques That I Practice

The techniques that I practice are truly working wonders for me. Not only am I discovering who I truly am and becoming my true self, but I am also benefitting in so many other ways. I am so grateful to have taken the time to get my life together by discovering techniques that are truly helping me to have a magnificent life. Undoubtedly, the biggest benefactor in my life toward having a fabulous life is practicing these techniques.

2 Working on Myself

If you wish to have a fabulous life, chances are, you need to work on yourself. A fabulous life is not easy to achieve, we all do know. I had made a commitment to myself to spend a certain amount of time on a daily basis to work on myself. It is certainly paying off for me, because my life is getting better with each ing day.

3 Ridding Myself of Mental Poisons

In order to have a fabulous life, we must rid ourselves of mental poisons, such as habitual negative thoughts and complaints. We must be as positive as we can be. I have come a long way over the last several years. I used to be much more negative, a complainer, for sure. I have learned that it is very important to rid myself of mental poisons.

4 Proper Association

If you wish to have a fabulous life, you must carefully choose whom you wish to associate yourself with. You must try to associate yourself with those who are uplifting. If you fail to do this, you will pay very dearly. Because if you are associating yourself with anyone who is bringing you down, that’s exactly the price you will pay for associating with them.

5 Self-Control

If you wish to have a fabulous life, you must have a great deal of self-control, because you will most likely be in situations in which you will be tested by others. You can’t allow the external world to affect you. You must remain selfcentered and in full control of yourself. As the old saying goes, “Misery loves company,” and there are a lot of miserable people out there in the world who will try to make you miserable like them. You must be in full control of yourself if you wish to have a fabulous life.

6 Nourishing the Body

If you wish to have a fabulous life, you must nourish your body. Proper food intake, proper beverage intake, proper balance between work and rest, and so on are very important. If you were to properly nourish your body, you should feel a whole lot better.

7 Proper Exercise

Exercising is very important; we all do know, right? I have come to an important realization that if I truly wish to have a fabulous life, I need to feel physically good. Right now I have differing exercise regimens that help me feel good. Not only do I perform stretching exercises, tension exercises, and light aerobics, but I also perform a self-massage. I do deep breathing exercises, which include visualizing the healing of certain affected areas of my body, and a little of my homemade version of Tai Chi.

8 Having a Hobby That I Love

Right now as it stands, I have two hobbies that I love: writing, and dancing and singing to music. These two hobbies are very important to me because I love to do them so much, maybe even too much at times. These two hobbies are truly helping me to have a fabulous life.

9 Caring about Helping Out in Life

I had discovered that by caring about helping out in life, my life became much better, because it is a good feeling to be able to reach out and help others and things. Right now as it stands, not only am I trying to help out the situation through my books, but also I try to help out others through literature that I distribute freely to them.

2 Poems

I I Am a Poet

I am a poet, I do declare. My words to you that I wish to share, These words are carefully chosen right now, For I wish to touch your heart with this poem, For I wish to reach deep down inside To the very core of your being.

With unwelcoming lungs that are getting Filled with smoke from this lit cigarette In my left hand, With a cup of coffee regular by my side, A pen in my right hand, I am writing down this poem to let You know that I am a poet.

I can work magic with this pen And piece of paper.

I can make you laugh, I can make you cry, I can make you sad, I can make you mad, I can do these things and much more If I am given the chance.

I am a poet. I am not the usual kind. In my poems you will find, You will find much meaning and Even delight, ’Cause I am as serious as the mysterious Moon is when it comes out at night.

Sit back and relax, won’t you? Read my poems ’cause I want you to Know for sure that I am a poet. I am a poet, I say. I am a poet, Yes, I am.

II The Human Race Is a Disgrace

The world as we know it, The world is slowly falling apart. In my heart, In my heart there is a straight And narrow arrow stuck there. It is pierced in my heart, you know. I am a broken man ’cause of this. The world as it now is Breaking my heart.

I often ask myself a simple question, Why is the human race— Yes, The human race— Why, I often ask myself, Why is the human race a disgrace?

Look very closely. Look very carefully. We humans are most certainly not Approaching life properly. We have an unquenchable thirst For money.

We are full of jealousy, greed, selfishness, And then some, We are warring against one another, We are slowly destroying our nation, We are slowly destroying our natural world. Now tell me, What do you think about the human race?

The human race is a disgrace.

III Please Do Trust

’Cause you are the only one right Now whom I can talk to. Tell me now, my friend, Do you love America as much as I do?

My friend, My fellow American, My comrade, Lend me your ears, won’t you? Let me speak words of wisdom to You right now. We, Americans— I truly mean each and every American—must love America. ’Cause if we are to do this one thing, Many blessings will be bestowed upon us.

Love America we must. In my words, Please do trust.

IV Know and Be Your True Self

Know and be your true self.

V The Beginning of Spring

Oh, what a magnificent life it is! Nature beckons me to draw near to her. Sweet melodies fill the air, you know. Oh, how wonderful it is to be alive now.

The beautiful sky above glows with a certain style. The bright and shiny sun, Another day has spring forth. Another day has just begun.

Love is on our side to stay. Feel the heartbeat of the world, won’t You? Feel it now, won’t you? Feel it, I say. The world is in love. It is the beginning of spring,

A glorious time of the year to be alive. The flowers are blooming, The leaves of the trees are turning dark green, Love from another awaits us. You know that it is in the spring where True love between a man and a woman finds its way.

The city has a special vibrance. Watch how the people live now. They have a big smile on their face. Life now is surely good to them.

At night, The mysterious moon has a story to Tell as the bright, shiny stars glisten So much. As such, We must rejoice. We must rejoice, you know, ’Cause it is the beginning of spring.

V A Wonderful Sight to See

Lead singer: I love my America with all of my heart. I would do just about anything for my America. It never ceases to amaze me that at Least a good deal of us Americans have Very little or hardly no love at all for my America. It’s hard to believe that this is true. This fact makes me sad and blue. I had served proudly for my America In Operation Desert Storm, A one-sided war that was brilliantly Led by great Americans such as Stormin’ Norm, General Norman Schwarzkopf, that is.

Wake up and find it in all of your Hearts to love America. Do this, won’t you all?

These days, What have we Americans become?

Hearts to love America. Do this, won’t you all?

Lead singer: I truly hope that one day all of Us Americans love my America. This will be such a wonderful sight to see.

4 Speeches

I Thoughts on America

My fellow Americans, I come before you all today with a special message. My fellow Americans, we Americans are not, for the most part, living up to our ideals. We are supposed to be the greatest of the greatest of nations on earth. We should be setting the perfect example for the rest of the world to follow.

My fellow Americans, what kind of example are we setting for the rest of the world to follow? A very poor example, because most of us love money and material objects, as many of us Americans are greedy and selfish to the point that we have lost our love for America and our fellow Americans. My fellow Americans, I now ask of each and every one of you all to turn to your hearts and love our blessed nation.

II Our Love Affair with Money

My fellow Americans, it is quite clear to me that at least a good deal of us love money. How can this be? I mean, how can we love a tiny green piece of paper? Whether you all realize it or not, it is this love affair with money that is causing a great deal of problems for us Americans.

If you love money, you are prone to be stingy, greedy, selfish, and possessive. Besides these things, it will be much harder to love anything else if we love money. My fellow Americans, many hideous acts are committed because of the love of money. My fellow Americans, I now ask of each and every one of you all to approach money the same way I do—I respect money as an important means to make a transaction. It’s that simple.

III Our Lavish Lifestyle

My fellow Americans, I come before you all today to bring forth a special message that I hope will set the wheel of destiny in the right direction. My fellow Americans, at least a good deal of us are living a lavish lifestyle of extreme comfort. This lavish lifestyle comes at a high price, because we are quickening the slow destruction of our natural world and consuming precious resources at such an alarming rate.

The bottom line is that we are slowly creating a hellish life for the future generations to come. The most obvious solution is for us to conserve our precious resources. If we are to do this one thing, our own future generations will be grateful to us for the wise decisions we make today.

IV Let’s Bring Back America’s Glory Days

My fellow Americans, let’s bring back America’s glory days. That’s right. Let’s bring back America’s glory days. My fellow Americans, America used to be far more powerful and respected in the world. These days, America is slowly becoming just another nation and is condemned and ridiculed by many people of other nations in the world. Whatever happened to pride, to dignity, to integrity, and to respectability? My fellow Americans, family values and traditions are things of the past as we have become traitors, because we are not living up to our ideals. We are for the most part giving America a bad reputation. My fellow Americans, each of us are representatives of America. Let’s be the best that we can possibly be.

V A Spiritual Life

My fellow human beings, there is a higher life to be had. This higher life is a spiritual life. We have been giving materialism a try for quite some time now, and look where it has left us. We are never satisfied with what we have, and we are not living fulfilled lives. In a spiritual life, we will become very satisfied and fulfilled with our lives. My fellow human beings, turn your backs on materialism starting now and live the higher life of spirituality. You all won’t regret making this choice one day.

5 Essays

I The Love of Money

It is no big secret that at least a good deal of us humans love money. How can this be possible? you may be tempted to ask. After all, money is just a tiny piece of paper. It is because of the love of money that there are so many problems in the world. At least a good deal of us humans in the world focuses so much of our attention on money. Money has become the god for many humans. I don’t know when, if ever, we humans are going to wake up from our deep sleep and realize that if we no longer love money, we would treat each other much better. It truly is despicable to love a tiny piece of paper.

II Peace in the World

I don’t believe that there will ever be peace in the world. I have my reasons for thinking this way. There are so many humans in the world who have so much hate in their hearts. Besides this, there are so many humans in the world who would rather war against others as opposed to trying to resolve any disagreement in other ways.

The world as we know it now is becoming slowly overpopulated, which only equates to more problems. With overpopulation comes the need for land expansion, which equates to a probable war. There will never be peace in the world because there are way too many humans who don’t want it to happen.

III The Human Race Is Being Mismanaged

The leaders of the world are mismanaging the human race. It is quite obvious to me that the leaders of the world are lacking wisdom, because they don’t know how to truly lead and guide the human race properly. A perfect example is that we humans are being conditioned to be a certain way. We are not being encouraged and taught how to be our natural selves.

If I were in a position of leadership, I would do my best to help those under my authority to discover who they truly are so that they can live a natural life as their true selves. An obvious sign that the human race is being mismanaged is the fact that there are a great deal of problems in the world. If the human race were properly managed, much of these problems would not exist.

IV Thoughts on God

There are certain things that are mysteries in life, and the matters that deal with God, most certainly they are very mysterious. There are several questions that I have that I know will never be answered, such as whether God exists or not. I find it very hard to believe that not every one of us humans is agnostic. How on earth can you fully believe that God does or does not exist with absolute certainty? Blind faith and the truth in life are two totally different things. I would like to believe that God does exist, because if I had known for sure that he does exist, I would probably be the biggest worshipper of him. Anyway, the bottom line is that we won’t know for sure many things about God; therefore, I try not to think about matters that deal with God.

V The Techniques That I Practice

There are certain techniques that I am currently practicing. I have been practicing these techniques for almost five years now. They are working wonders in my life, as they are helping me to discover who I truly am and becoming my true self and also benefitting in so many other ways. I have an inner urge to share with as many other people that I possibly can these very same techniques that I am currently practicing. If time allows, I will include these very same techniques in the final section of this collection of writings.

6 Quotes of the Day

1. Make the most out of each moment of life. 2. Know and be thy true self. 3. Remain self-centered, not allowing the external world to affect you. 4. All is in vain. 5. Care about the self, others, nation, and our natural world. 6. Don’t follow the crowd, because if you do, you will get lost. 7. Don’t fully believe in something unless it is absolutely proven to be true.

7 A Brief Summary of the Techniques I Practice

The following techniques are what I am currently practicing. If you wish to discover who you truly are and become your true self and benefit in so many other ways, I strongly advise you to practice these very same techniques. If you intend on practicing the following techniques, please have plenty of patience, because it may take some time for the techniques to become effective. Please refer to the following list of techniques:

1. Be in a constant meditative state. Try to either silence your mind or only think about what is necessary at the time. Try to end racing thoughts and fantasizing. Try to make life a meditation.

2. Focus on inner self. Try to withdraw your senses slightly and focus as much of your attention on your inner self as you possibly can.

The two techniques above are essential to practice. The other techniques are important, but if you are uncomfortable with practicing any one of them, don’t do it.

3. Recite positive affirmations. Try to derive certain statements that are of a positive nature. Audibly recite them at least ten times each once daily. Use your imagination, and put feelings into it for much better results. As an example, if you wish to love life, audibly recite at least ten times “I love life.”

4. Use the imagination. You can bring into reality simple and realistic things with the proper use of your imagination. As an example, at times I imagine my face to have a smile upon it. Sure enough, I begin to have a genuine smile on my face, and I feel happier. You can use your imagination anytime you wish to.

5. Perform a self-analysis. If you wish to understand yourself better, try to perform a self-analysis from time to time. Try to be open and honest with yourself if you are performing a self-analysis.

6. Perform a ritual. You can easily create a ritual simply by deriving certain statements and using corresponding gestures. If you want better results, use your imagination and put feelings into it while you are performing the ritual. As an example, during one part of my ritual, I hug myself while audibly reciting a few times “I love myself, I love myself so much!” Try to perform a ritual at least once daily.

7. Open the heart to love. You can open your heart to love simply by focusing on your heart, feeling a warm sensation in it. You can open your heart to love whenever you wish to.

8. Recite daily affirmations. You can create a daily affirmation simply by deriving certain statements of a positive nature. As an example, you can begin a daily affirmation with “I am so thankful for having another wonderful day of life. It is going to be a wonderful day for me.” Try to audibly recite an affirmation once daily.

9. Stare in the mirror. Try to stare at your face in the mirror for at least one minute at least once daily. Try to put on a gentle smile on your face and feel good about yourself.

10. Empty the vessel. Try to completely silence your mind and become emotionless. Once you have done these two things, try to feel the energy field that surrounds your body. You can empty your vessel whenever you wish to.

11. Perform an exercise. Lie flat on your back on a comfortable surface. For about three minutes each, perform the following five exercises:

I. Still your mind completely. II. Focus on your inner self. III. Empty your vessel, and try to feel the energy field that surrounds your body. IV. Open your heart to love. V. Imagine your face with a smile upon it.

Try to perform this exercise once daily.

12. Say a simple prayer. Audibly recite a simple prayer to God once in the morning, preferably. As an example, I begin my prayer with “God, if you do exist and you can hear me now . . .”

13. Knock on wood. Knock on wood for good luck whenever you wish to.

14. Monitor yourself. Monitor your thoughts, feelings, and acts whenever you wish to.

15. Use willpower. Use your willpower if you are having any problems with the other techniques.

There you have it. If you wish to discover who you truly are and become your true self and benefit in many other ways, I strongly suggest to you to begin to practice the techniques that I had listed in this brief summary. Good luck, and best wishes to you on your journey through this physical world.

I had originally decided to write this collection of writings in just one day, and I did—until I decided to add the following book on the second day. Everything that you had read up to this point was written in just one day. The following very short book was written on the second day.

8 My Four Main Worthy Causes

This book is dedicated to none other than Richard R. Franza, myself. I think that I am deserving of much credit for standing for the four main worthy causes.

Contents

1. Personal Spiritual Development

2. The Transformation of America

3. Personal Religious Development

4. Protecting and Preserving Our Natural World

5. Lesser Causes that I Stand For

Conclusion

I had decided to stand for four main causes. I certainly hope that in some way I help make major changes so that we humans can be benefactors of these changes.

Introduction

I know that it is hard to believe that one person can stand for four worthy causes because it seems to be that just about everyone else who stands for any cause only focuses on one cause. You see, even though you may think that standing for four worthy causes may be too much for me to handle, think again. You see, the manner in which I am going to handle this is mainly through my books. It is rather easy for me to write about something that needs to change, and then get it published through a publishing company. For me to stand for four worthy causes is very simple. I truly hope that you take an interest in any one of my four worthy causes.

1 Personal Spiritual Development

By far, my most important cause is personal spiritual development. The reason why this is so is that if an individual develops themselves spiritually, they will naturally have an inner urge to help out others and things in life. This is exactly what happened to me. The more that I had developed spiritually, the more I became caring and concerned about others and things in life. I also developed a keener sense of observation. The way that I had developed spiritually is through the techniques that I am currently practicing. These techniques are greatly helping me discover who I truly am and become my true self and to also benefit in so many other ways.

As I developed spiritually, I had something unexpected happen to me. I developed an inner urge to share the very same techniques that I am now practicing with as many people as I possibly can. I am currently distributing to others free literature that gives brief explanations of the techniques that I am currently practicing. I truly hope that others will begin to practice the same techniques that I am practicing, because they are working wonders for me. I strongly believe that these techniques will work wonders for anyone who has a sound mind and of proper age. I had also written a lot about these techniques that I am currently practicing and had put it in book form. I certainly hope that there will be many readers of these techniques so that they too can have the opportunity to experience life in the same wonderful manner that I have. We will see what will happen in the future as I distribute literature to others and my books are made available to the public.

2 The Transformation of America

My second most important worthy cause is to help transform America into the greatest nation ever on earth, making America a truly blessed nation. If you wish to know the truth about America, I will now tell you. For starters, if you were to reflect back to the early years of America, in the 1940s let’s say, America was far more powerful in the world as it was much more of a respectable nation. There were many aspects of America back in the 1940s that America is lacking in these modern times. There was strong family values and tradition. It was far more safer; and there was a much more stronger sense of integrity, honesty, dignity, and pride. There was no doubt a higher standard of morals, everyone knew exactly what role they had to play and they played their role well, and so on.

What went wrong in America? The truth of the matter is that America these days is slowly deteriorating, and the real sad part about it is that hardly anything at all is being done to prevent a tragic ending for America in the unforeseen future. It is quite obvious that just about all Americans are turning their backs on America, as they have become not only very selfish but also complacent as they live in a comfort zone in which they will seek to do nothing at all toward remedying America’s many major problems unless, it affects them.

Modern-day America has the potential to be the greatest nation that this earth has ever seen, but unfortunately, there are too many Americans who would resist bringing about a golden age to America for one reason or another. It’s heartbreaking for me to see firsthand what my beloved country has become. I’m going to do my part by writing books about America, and hopefully, one day they will inspire other Americans in such a way that major changes for the better will occur in America.

3 Personal Religious Development

Another worthy cause of mine is to help assist religious people so that they can experience a true religious experience. As it now stands, from my current understanding of religions of the world, a person can only receive so much from their particular religion, because the truth of the matter is that life should be one complete religious experience.

The religions of the world propagate a sense of religiosity only on certain occasions, such as going to church on Sunday morning, going to the mosque to pray at certain times of the day, and so on. We need to be religious all through the day and into the night, making life a religious experience. How may we make life a religious experience anyway? I strongly believe that by focusing much of our attention on our inner self, allowing our life force to manifest itself outward, we can fully live a religious life. The religions of the world can’t do this for us, and up to a great extent, the religions of the world are depriving us from having a true religious experience by having us focus way too much on externalities, making us feel subservient to the few chosen ones that we deem to be divine. It’s about time for religious people to end their deeply rooted desire for a heroic figure to save them. It is now time to take charge of our lives and save ourselves from our own ignorance.

The next phase of human evolution must take place in which we humans realize that each and every human being is divine—we all have an eternal spark, our life force, our spirit, that resides in the deepest recesses of our being. It’s about time that we acknowledge each other’s divinity. I truly hope that in some way, I will inspire others through the books that I have written about this important matter.

4 Protecting and Preserving Our Natural World

Trying to help out our natural world is another worthy goal. It seems to me that we humans are not putting as much of an effort toward protecting and preserving our natural world. It is truly sad that we are slowly destroying it. I am well aware that much of the havoc that we wreak upon our natural world can’t be fully avoided, but we can most definitely take stronger measures toward protecting and preserving it. Besides, the manner in which we treat many of the lower life forms is despicable as we are very cruel to many of them. Besides these two things, we are consuming precious resources at such an alarming rate.

It is quite obvious to me that much of the human race is insensitive to our natural world and many life forms and toward our own future generations to come. The bottom line is that not only are we creating a hellish environment, but we are also pushing mankind to the brink of extinction. I shall try to reach out to others about these issues through my books.

5 Lesser Causes that I Stand For

There are a few lesser causes that I stand for, such as trying to help those who struggle with alcohol and/or illegal drugs and those who have mental disorders and also bringing meaning to music.

I am trying to help assist those who struggle with alcohol and/or illegal drugs and those who have mental disorders by encouraging them to practice the techniques that I am currently practicing, because not only have I become desireless toward abusing alcohol and illegal drugs, but my mental condition has also improved because of practicing the techniques.

As far as music is concerned, most of the music out in the world lacks meaning. I am going to try to bring meaning to music through the songs that I write. Let’s see where this takes me.

Conclusion

I am going to try to do my part in seeking ways to remedy much of the problems that we humans currently face. It’s very hard to find another person like me who cares enough to try to make a major impact in life. From what I observe, at least a good deal of us humans are so selfish that we only focus on satisfying our own needs and wants. This is a sad fact in life because we are only creating many problems for ourselves because of our selfishness.

You see, if each of us humans were to care about each other, our nation, our natural world, much of our problems would not exist anymore. I truly hope that one day we humans wake up and realize that we are only hurting ourselves by being so selfish and uncaring.

The clock is ticking; there is not much time left before something awful is going to happen to us humans. We truly need to wake up and change our ways before it is too late.
