It was the year of 1989..That the world famous author of Your Erroneous Zones wrote one of his most provocative and important books: a book that stretches beyond the bounds of self-help to self-realization.  Dr. Dyer takes us deep inside ourselves to awaken our minds, and shows us how to transform our lives by using our thoughts constructively - how to forcus on a belief and see it. To Dr, Dyer, we are our thoughts and not our bodies; our ability to think and feel is our essential humanity.  If we tap into that invisible part of us, use our minds in any way we choose, we can literally transform ourselves by going beyond the limitations of our forms.  As he puts it: "Your form must follow the rules of form. It will change many times during your lifetime. In fact, every singel cell of your entire form will change every seven years or so, and yet you will still exist." the universal principles that lead to your self-realization: Transformation: Is the ability and willingness to live beyond your form.

  We continue with the discussion of vegetarianism and the world religions. At the age of 68 and one who has been a vegetarian for over twenty five years, I am compelled to share this topic of discussion , with the hope of inspiring "Food for Thought" Baba Wesley Tehuti Gray A quote from Isaac Bashevis Singer "Whether the mass of people accept the vegetarian interpretation of religion or not really doesn't matter. At least not in my life.  I accept it implicitly.  Of course, it  would be wonderful if the world adopted vegetarianism, on religious grounds or any other.  But this is not likely.  I am a skeptic, it's true, but I am also realistic.  In any event, what the people in general do will not affect me.  I will continue to be a vegetarian even if the whole world started to eat meat. This is my protest agains the conduct of the world.  To be a vegetarian is to disagree - to disagree with the course of things today.  Nuclear power, starvation, cruelty - we must make a statement against these things.
