by Tony Burroughs, هالة حافظ (ترجمة)

Tony Burroughs was a young man living in Hawaii, when an older philosopher sage took him under his wing and became his mentor at an exotic fruit farm on the big island. Over a period of ten years, Tony learned how to farm as well as "The Information," a series of oral lessons, comprising a body of deep teachings about the very meaning of life, the history of mankind, and how to not just exist but to evolve and live a meaningful life filled with love, peace and abundance. A core teaching was in regard to intention-setting and Tony and two friends started a weekly circle to try it out. This first humble circle of three people had dramatic and life-changing effects that have resulted in Tony Burrough's life-long mission to guide others in the art of manifesting the best in themselves, their lives, and for the highest good of all. The tenet of Get What You Want is simple, powerful and profound: "that which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward you." And, for the first time, Tony has gathered many of the key teachings of "The Information" into one book.

Nothing new

I’ve been exposed to New Age statements for decades through various groups, books, and people. Nothing new here. The personal opinions are distracting in that I find myself countering the statements more than finding value on what was said on the art of manifesting.

I enjoyed this book a lot. I believe our thoughts and words create our outcome. I believe the Universe is constantly working in our favor if we allow it. We have more power than we realize. This book helped me be to more aware of the negative thoughts crowding my mind and to switch them into more positive thoughts. Also it taught me to look at every single challenging situation as a learning experience and to try as hard as possible to find the learnable from it.

There were some ideas that even though the concept was rich, I can’t agree 100 % with them. For example, if someone is being completely disrespectful and unkind to me while sharing their opinions, you can rest assured I will not sit back and let that happen by looking at them in their highest light and do nothing else about it. I will look at them and myself in the highest light, and bring that person back to reality by letting that person know that I will not tolerate disrespect in the most minuscule form because I also hold my highest light thus I respect myself enough to set clear boundaries. The concept is pure, but a lot of abuse happens and nothing is done about it having this belief that if we look at people in their highest light they will start changing. Part of me believes that, as long as we are standing up for ourselves and remembering our highest light which allows us to know what we won’t tolerate. God and the Universe are not happy when we don’t value ourselves by not standing up for ourselves. (I hope I make sense with what I am explaining here) And if we continue to have this idea that if someone is an asshole we just need to look at them in the highest light, then we are living in a world that is not the one we are truly in. It requires all of us to look at everyone in their highest light for abuse and meanness to go away completely. Meanwhile we need to hold on to our truth and not be walked on.

On the positive side, I do have a strong belief that the “I am” we tell ourselves persist and get stronger. So why not make it positive and uplifting?

A decent "intuition flip" type of book. It's beginner new age stuff. Not exactly framed or presented in a new manner.
