by Marilyn Howshall (This article is so important that I wanted to say a little about it right out here on the Article Chart.) When you first glance at this article, you will see that it is long, and you may find parts of it hard to grasp. Not because of Marilyn's writing style, but because the concepts are very foreign to our usual thinking. I encourage you, however, to read it all; and not once, but several times through, as what is said here will affect your thinking in a wonderful, freeing way! Don't just go for the "easy reads," but take the time and effort to feed on the meat offered in this article, and any others written by Marilyn Howshall. |
