EXPERIENCE IT TWICE
I finished the book, And I really enjoyed reading it that I also wrote down the things I liked that you put in. It really is digestible and the way you've structured it and explained things makes it (for me at least) easier to process the information and points you wanted to get across, like the example about using utensils which really does make you think.
Cause you know how some books you need to re read things a few times to retain and make sense, the way you've written makes it 100% simple to exercise and understand to apply. really enjoyed the part about the symbolism of the David star, I definitely learnt something new within that + the quote that you added about the world is but a canvas to the imagination. Two lines that I really liked and stood out to me is that thoughts are not experiences but they can lead to them/ the end of the Alice in Wonderland story where you've put that we don't realise that everything is a gift. (Because I also forget that and tend to warp my thoughts with reality) Also the way you've tied all the examples and stories into each other.
The part about your top secret agenda is lovely You were right about the one story having a twist also. I like how you put "younique" as well. Definitely something you can always go back to too, which I appreciate. I'm 100% gonna keep this book close, it's a nice reminder that we really are so powerful and an easy way to remember that what/how we think and our imagination is very important, especially the "to do others as you would you". Thank you for sharing this with me, you should be really proud of creating this.
I hope you know you've reached at least one person and I know there's many more people you will reach too

LET LOVE RULE
I truly really like this book and message too. I'm sure this is one of your goals but I do love the way that your message and the Way you write makes it feel like it was written for the person reading only. If that makes any sense at all, the message is for everyone but the fact that it resonates and feels like it was made for "me only is good, Like you're having a conversation and saying it to me directly. (Hope l'm explaining this right).
The formatting is not only what you said, digestible but I like how you did it because it kinda feels like self care in the way of you can always open one of the pages and it's like a specific passage you were supposed to see and needed, kinda like a self care card thing. I love the ocean analogy. Pages 64 + 149 I like in particular, 64 because of the first line about waiting forever if you're waiting for peace, 149 because of the "where's the "waste?" Because it's correct, there is no waste.
Also the line of "love is showing up for yourself" good reminder. Also think it's cool that you mention your other books because it relates/the way you used the "blank canvas" one. Another hit thank you

What Is love? The First seed
"Hi Tony, I have listened to your audio book 2 times now, and I just wanted to say thank you. I don't think I have ever looked at love that way. I was stuck in the mindset of I wonder whether I will ever be anyone's first choice. Has my time been and gone and I missed it? I now know that all along I have had that capacity, and I was just looking at things in the wrong way. You reminded me Love is showing up. Love is forgiving. Love is forgetting. Love is acceptance. These things I do daily to my friends and family.
I do have unconditional love and thus need to stop looking for it in the wrong places. It comes to me every time I look in one of my kids' eyes, when I see the smile on my mum's face when I arrive at her house, and every time I think of my father. I think that ultimately loneliness brought me back to confusing romantic love, or more specifically lust, with companionship or love. I have always known that love and lust are two totally different experiences, and if they occur together then that is truly something special. Your words have made me rethink, (maybe replace) what I think I need to be in order to receive love and instead embrace the love I already have as the amazing gift it is.
Whatever this mindset brings to me will be abundant and deserved. Please let me know if you do anymore audio files. I find that listening in my car, or with EarPods allows a different experience, and understanding than reading the words."
