having a human experience.”

From this point of view, he is stating that Karma is not what you deserve, contrary to the popular belief but Karma is what you attract. In order to bring something into our life first, we’ve to be the source of it.
“God is the dimension of goodness in all situations.”
The perspective of life is what makes the outcome of life largely. The view of life as a multidimensional larger picture creates a positive outcome in life gradually.
“What you feed grows stronger and what you starve dies.”
The control of desires which will break the chain of addiction is another secret.
“all time must pass through our present moment, of which seems to be moving forward within itself.”
The present minded focus is another secret. This concept is presented with a huge relativity of the present moment which is what we have now. This total acceptance of the present moment will create a pathway of success.
The continuous learning to master the craft, accepting the gradual level of development and adopting an attitude of all events will contribute to the outcome of success.
“Without my deep-rooted spiritual ideology, which developed over a long period of time, I would not be able to practice psychotherapy”
The last secret is described on the grounds of personal experience of the author and how he shaped his belief in midst of negativity. But the essence of all his experience will point us to the belief in God and all the successful people he encountered believe in some form of higher power.
