Do you feel overwhelmed by the pace of change, or powerless in the
face of uncertainty? Do you wish you had a more useful point of
view, or better strategies to cope? And even when you have obtained
a dream or a goal, have you ever felt let down because it did not
bring you the joy you thought it would? These are universal
feelings, yet how we approach them is unique to each of us. Many
years ago, author Sandy Sims found himself asking these same
questions while directing a Honolulu advertising agency. Though
considering himself to be quite average, he had cultivated two
particularly useful traits - an abiding curiosity, and the desire
to check things out for himself. A health crisis set off a cascade
of events and a girlfriend-surgeon-turned-psychiatrist rewired his
brain, sending him tumbling down the proverbial "rabbit hole" into
new realms, where he became open to trying out new thinking
patterns and recording the results. Over the next several years
there was fire-walking, spoon-bending, and trips to Peru and Brazil
where psychic surgeons stuck knitting needles through his liver -
forcing him to accept almost in disbelief that we can be in
different realities at the same time. Into his life poured mystics,
shamans, a Kahuna, an ethnobotanist, channels, luminaries,
scientists, and even an astronaut. The Caddy family, founders of
the Scottish Findhorn Spiritual Community (noted for growing forty-
and fifty-pound vegetables from the snow), regularly came and
stayed with him. He cautiously tested these new thinking patterns,
raising the bar slowly, and then testing again and again - until
one compelling "aha" idea drove him to attempt to build a
collection of the designs of one of America's greatest architects,
Frank Lloyd Wright. In so doing, he discovered that we are more the
architects of our lives than we think; that what we call luck,
chance, and coincidence are more design than not; and that
"Invisible Partners" can make our ordinary lives extraordinary, no
matter what the situation, when we are willing to engage, trust and
nurture this partnership. This is a watershed time in history, an
era in which we are becoming more aware of how powerful our minds
are. It is a time when not only how to use our minds, but what to
think about, will determine the elegance of our lives. A compelling
read for those drawn to the journey of human potential.
