PREFACE

The word “God” means different things to different people.

For some, it brings up an image of a comforting, humanlike, protective father figure. To others the term connotes a stern, arrogant, judgmental and punishing personality. And to still others, it means a genderless, unconditionally accepting, universal creative power, source of all Life. Whatever name most resonates with you regarding this Higher Power is fine. For simplicity’s sake, however, and for the purposes of this book, the term “Spirit” will be used, with a few exceptions here and there as deemed appropriate. I also refer to Spirit as “It”, since I believe the Creator to be genderless. As you read and use this book, feel free to use any name or gender you feel most comfortable with.

I sometimes also use the term “Universe”, with a capital “U”, in the same way as “Spirit”, and sometimes “universe” as a physical place, rather than as an aspect of Spirit. This also applies to the use of the term “law”. When referring to spiritual “Law” or “Laws” I spell it with a capital “L”, while physical “law” or “laws” are spelled with a lowercase “l”.

Go with the flow!
