This appendix is included as a validation of life on the other side of death. In it the author provides examples of connections made to her by both her daughter and her mother after their passing.

This is a brief closing with the author’s final thoughts on why she wrote this book, as well as, a special ending with some inspiration from a Beatles song and the “Long Time Sun” Kundalini Yoga Blessing. Note: The audiobook does not end here, as there is an Appendix to follow providing some validation of life after death.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an outline and quick review of the 10 Steps to help you create your own personal stairway. The key word here is “personal” because no one stairway is the same. Each of us are unique and consequently, each step on the stairway will be uniquely different.

Your thoughts create your reality because your mind is a powerful manifestor. Only when your true spiritual self is managing your thoughts, words and actions, will you be able to manifest your greatest potential. Your ultimate purpose is to keep growing and moving forward, creating again and again by connecting to God and letting the Source flow through you as Divine guidance. When you receive your guidance (which can come in many forms), you need to believe that it is real and have faith that it is God using His universal guidance system to reply to your prayers or requests. You need to do your part by keeping your senses open so that you can hear, see, or sense what is being shown to you; and then you need to take action. Frequently the action will be a creative endeavour because as spiritual beings we are always trying to become, learn, or create something new – creating Heaven on Earth!

Learning and reading as much as you can about spiritual awakening and enlightenment is a great way to learn from those who have already climbed the stairway. Learning and becoming aware of your subtle body energy systems and how to connect to the “chi” or life force energy that moves through your body is very important for you to learn how to heal yourself. Learning to heal yourself by unblocking your energy systems can advance the development of your consciousness more quickly. When you heal yourself, you create a ripple effect in your life expanding and affecting all you encounter. There are many pathways to healing yourself; use as many of them as you feel moved to experience. Once you have healed, listen to your inner voice, as all callings from your true self are valid and meant to serve humanity and to fulfill your unique divine purpose. This will help you to reach personal and spiritual enlightenment and experience the infinite field of possibilities available to you, including joy, love, peace, prosperity and happiness.

Each of you is a spiritual being, incarnated into a human body. You were sent here to discover your special gifts, learn life lessons and improve yourselves, and share your gifts for the betterment of humanity. You cannot discover your life’s purpose outside of yourselves - it must come from within and to do this you need

to awaken. Awakening is simply becoming aware that you are more than your physical body and more than the thoughts being generated by your mind. The key to finding your inner purpose is to become so conscious of your inner being that you begin to develop inner intuition or “knowings” by connecting to your higher self; i.e. by connecting to God within yourself. This is when the real magic happens and your inner self will begin to lead you through your life journey.

As spiritual beings having a human experience, you came here to experience your true selves living an awakened life aligned with God. Aligned with your Source, you naturally experience happiness, joy, peace, and contentment. Alignment with Source is only possible when we are fully present in the moment. You need to develop a spiritual practice that keeps you connected to your Source so that you can make choices in your life that are aligned with your God-given gifts and life purpose. Begin by learning how to better control your mind by learning how to observe your mind in action and becoming a witness or observer of your thoughts. By doing so, you will come to understand how your thoughts are controlling your life and be better able to live aligned with your Source.

This chapter discusses what is meant by the concept of “Giving Is Receiving” as described in St. Francis of Assisi’s Peace Prayer and in the Workbook Lessons of A Course in Miracles….i.e. what you put out to others and the Universe will come back to you in the same way, and you can’t give away what you don’t have. When you have mastered loving yourself, you will have lots of extra love to give away. If you can recognize the storehouse of gifts you have within yourself that must be given away to others to receive them yourself, you will experience an endless supply of God’s precious, loving gifts that will bring you peace, love, hope, joy, and happiness in every moment.

We are born as loving beings – this is our truth. This chapter describes how you must learn to live from love to find true happiness. Living from love, you feel happiness, contentment, peace and/or joy; living from fear, you feel anger, hate, resentment, anxiety and/or guilt. Your emotions are barometers of whether you are living in sync with your true loving self or not. Your emotions are filled with either positive or negative energy that can impact your health, wellness and happiness. To live from love and to find happiness, you will need to overcome your fears and return to your original nature as a loving being, learn to love yourself and others, and let your little light shine!

Your beliefs (real or illusion) will impact your attitudes, feelings, and behaviours and how you respond to life challenges. Because you are a Spark of God, you are limitless and powerful. You need to believe and have faith or trust that this statement is true because your belief system will direct your thoughts, and your thoughts will shape your reality. You will need to change any fearful thinking patterns you have learned into love-based thinking which can create health, wellness and happiness in your life.
