"Life, give me more!"As a young man I had a sudden epiphany, an enlightenment. I came to the realization that I had inside me incredible power and strength. I realized that no matter what life threw at me, I could handle it. Not only could I handle any problem, I could do it with happiness and peace.
With this new sense of boldness and vigor, I challenged life to test me. “Life, give me more!” became my battle cry. Whenever life presented me with a problem I would shout, “Life, give me more!” I now knew that no matter what happened in my life, I could overcome it with confidence and a smile. Handling problems with confidence and joy are two parts of a six valued system that I call “The Coherent Life.” A coherent life is a life that is filled with confidence, joy, purpose, abundance, love, and peacefulness. A coherent life is the life you were born to live. The inclusive principle of The Coherent Life is the “Rule of Divinity”—everything is one, one is the greatest power. You are part of everything, thus you have the greatest power. Once you are awakened to this fact, you will be unstoppable; you will end your pain and suffering and begin to live your heart’s desires. The purpose of this website is to give you the knowledge to spark your own epiphany. The Coherent Life formula is threefold: Study, practice, and conviction. Study the knowledge you read here, practice it in your daily life, then you will have the conviction of its validity. Conviction will lead to you to further study and practice. Eventually you will have the sudden realization of the truth of The Coherent Life. Using The Rule
