CHAPTER 1
Love, Please See Me
When you first came to earth, you breathed your first breath. This is when love found its breath; it felt so content within its base, the soul. So sure that all was well, truth welcomed itself to the heart that dwelled within the house of the soul. Truth spoke its first language and said very swiftly, "I see you."
The heart jumped with all its might. The soul showed light so that the eyes could see their way through and know all the love it offered. The heart jumped once again, and this time it recalled the first experience it had — the one that spoke so swiftly, the one said the fact of truth, "I see you."
The heart began jumping in rhythm: "I see you." This profound emotion arises when you feel the original statement of love, the beginning. This feeling of love is an emotional thought created when you sense the truth of either being seen or, in reverse, seeing.
When you are not seen or when you do not see, you access the default mechanics within you that your soul, which lives within the heart, does not recognise.
When you do not see a very natural emotion called the "anger at not being seen" surfaces. It is an automatic response that appears as a reminder that a fault has occurred. If you are the one choosing to not see, then automatically the emotion called "anger at refusing to accept what I see" occurs. This is a reaction to not seeing the truth. In time you will come to react both ways, for you have, at some point been either denied love or have denied giving love.
To correct the default mechanics within you so that your soul can be seen and so that you can see your soul, your breath of life, the beginning, repeat the following affirmations on a daily basis for three weeks:
I am love.
I am seeing love within.
I see you.
These three, in order, create autonomy to the psyche first, redeveloping the thoughts. Once you feel the effects of being more loving towards your own soul and giving more to others by seeing them, then you can correct any false visions.
The visions are the most supportive and unsupportive, for what you see is exactly that, regardless of truth. If you do not like what you see within your own home or working environment, please ask yourself if you are seeing your love, or seeing their love, correctly. This is feeling the truth of your existence.
You maybe saying that you are unhappy with this and that. This is the same as saying, "I am blind." Happiness is an emotion that occurs only when the eyes are seeing correctly. If you are feeling unhappy, it is the default mechanism, the one that says, "I am not deserving."
When this default mechanism stands up for itself, as it does so quickly it sees only unhappiness in all situations, big or small (it could be as seemingly insignificant as "My pen will not work"). This is complete role reversal for your heart. The heart will not be working, as the truth is being completely disregarded. For the default mechanisms are the only ones speaking up at that exact moment; for example, when the pen runs out of ink. This is the exact truth: it has no ink! Yet an emotional response kicks in simultaneously to warn you yet again that the self is not being loved here, the pen is!
To correct this unhappiness of ignoring the self and giving more attention to the pen is to repeat the following three affirmations on a daily basis for three weeks:
I trust.
I believe in myself.
I heal me.
To ensure your love is enjoyed, repeat the next three affirmations daily:
I enjoy being me.
I heal others.
I accept.
All three affirmations together create a beautiful mix that will help you retrain the default mechanics of unhappiness and still their workings. This will empower the soul to arise. The heart will flourish as it knows it is being seen: "I see you."
Amen is a blessing given to the love you all hold; therefore, amen.
CHAPTER 2Free Happiness
Happiness is within. Happiness has a connection to the soul, which dwells within its haven, the heart. When the heart hears, feels, or sees happiness, it naturally feels safe, protected, loved, adored, and admired. And it sees creation.
Knowing that happiness can come only from the inside must not ever be taken for granted. For when you accept that happiness can happen anytime you choose it to happen. For example, you excel at school, pass a driving test, find your first love, buy your first home, get a new job, have a child, become accepted into an area of life you know you have worked hard for. You want to shout, "Hey I did it!" "I won!" "She said yes!" "I got the job!" You choose the permission list. You choose when to smile, feel grateful, and jump for joy — for a day, a week, or even months if you are that fortunate.
Then something happens to this feeling. Sometimes you can easily blame it on this or that. You can say, "I am not sure what happened, but the best thing ever — that feeling — has lost its yippee!" It is called pretend! Yes, that's right, pretend, the word you use to refer to something that is not real. To be even more truthful, your permission to "play pretend" was also not real either.
If you were truly happy, then the happiness would not come and go. It would not disappear; it would stay. It would remain as you worked so hard for it — studied for years, tried for that gold medal, sacrificed your own self for your job. All so you would get the call that you were chosen or accepted or had achieved a particular goal. But seven years later or seven weeks or even seven days, it all falls away somehow.
Maybe you were hoping and even praying that this was going to be the answer you had been waiting for. Maybe you actually thought that, if you just lost all that baby weight, then you would be more attractive to yourself and to your partner. Maybe you would even be a better mother. Maybe you even thought that not having any kids would give you way more freedom to find happiness more easily and faster than others. Maybe you thought that, when you finally had saved enough money to buy what you had always dreamed of buying, you would experience a "massive moment," one that would first enrich you as an achiever and second inspire others to see you and notice you more, or be happy for you. Or maybe you thought that you would finally not feel any of the other feelings anymore. Or maybe you would feel — and this is the classic one — that happiness would finally be yours. Finally you would have won! There would be no more suffering, no more deprivation: "I finally can be happy now."
It is not that you do not want everything you want. It is not that you aren't prepared to give everything you can to get what you want. It is not that you are not entitled to it, or even less of a human being if you have not achieved your desires and have not "got it all." Maybe you are just trying to reach for a handle on a door and are looking forward to the day you can grasp that handle without needing help to do it. Then you can finally say, "I did it!" Maybe you just want to stop feeling so unloved, lonely, and unattractive. You are tired of being no one's friend. Maybe you cannot even talk to other humans because you are so scared of what they might say. Maybe you delay meeting up with pals to keep them from finding out who you truly are on the inside — scared. Maybe you doubt your health will ever repair itself, will ever alleviate the constant straining of your torso — the aches and pains in head and arms. You all have one, if not two or thousands of reasons for filling your souls up with whatever keeps that soul from flourishing.
You continue to weave cloaks of self-inflicted disruption that inhibit your progress along the avenue. The avenue is you; it is equal to truth. Remember, truth is love, and love lives within the soul, which lives comfortably, like a house with walls, within the lining of the heart.
It is surprisingly easy to stop the false, "pretend happiness" emotion, the one you allow yourself permission to feel only in certain precise events or moments. Repeat the affirmations in this book to yourself daily on a constant basis. Do this until you feel happy! Make the affirmations a daily ritual, a routine, in a fearless way, until you feel happiness. This will encourage your soul and enhance its ability to take over the automated response mechanism installed in you from the ancient time of salvation.
During this ancient time of salvation, when human beings first saw green grapes. They smiled, tasted the grapes, and smiled even more. Then they held a handful of grapes. They smiled for quite a long time, but when the grapevine stopped producing the green grape, and the uneaten ones had all turned rancid, the humans felt the effects of being led astray. Not knowing how this had happened, or why this happened, they cried, "Why us?" This was the first time mental happiness came into existence into your cell memory, and that is what you access today. You naturally determine how long this happiness can endure. You determine when you will allow it, for you also know there will be an ending soon: "Be prepared by extinguishing the fire that is alive, for we know that it will be put out." This is why you do not trust happiness; it comes from the ancient human beings' experience.
So now you devise a scenario in which you will accept happiness, yet this is only a mind happiness. The soul within the tree says the same thing, "Choose you, not something else." It is you that is happiness, not anything but you. To understand you as happiness and to correct this default inside the human species is to allow these three very powerful affirmations to amend this for you:
I am happiness.
I deserve happiness.
I am.
Repeat these affirmations continuously, all three in this order, and the heart will reign superior to alleviate the pain or stress of having to wait for moments of happiness. The soul will stand up to encourage you to believe in yourself at all times, in all moments. When you have given yourself permission daily to exercise all affirmations in the order we have given them to you, the life that you felt was waiting for you just over there (one day, eventually, "when I ...") will take a turn, for your soul will know that its life is now; its happiness thrives in knowing this to be truth. The love will keep the heart open to guide the responses, and you will be open to replying with a constant flow of uncomplicated happiness from within, and this, my dear, is you!
CHAPTER 3Truth in Speech
It is fear that creeps in behind the voice, behind the answer, behind the speaker. It is fear. "Why?" you ask. And the answer is, to halt you, to instil truth.
Have you ever felt unheard as if no one was listening, even when you have the answer? Your teacher carries on talking as if he or she did not hear you. In your home the phone rings, you call out, "I've got it!" but your sister answers and later tells you, "Sorry, I did not hear you." Have you ever felt unheard in a room of colleagues? You are all expected to share at the weekly team meeting, and it seems as if there is a systematic order of who speaks next as you sit around the table. But when it is your turn, the progression seems to stop in full motion as those on the other side of the table interrupt the sequence. Somehow you are left not knowing what to do. Do you sit and wait? Do you interrupt to say, "You messed up the sequence!" Do you wait patiently to be last? Or do you just decide to yourself, If I am asked, then I will reply.
Do you feel unwelcome, unnoticed, left out? Well, you all have felt at many times in your life that you were either just completely ignored, talked over, told to wait for it to be your turn, or told to speak up if you wish to be heard. The answer to why this happens in your life is that your natural default mechanism has kicked in to warn you that a particular moment is all about fear and not about love.
Truth is a language that has no fear behind it. Truth is knowing the answer, knowing it is your turn to speak, and accepting it exactly as it is — your turn to speak truthfully. When you know the answer, yet still feel fear, a default mechanism has taken over. You default to simultaneously knowing the answer yet feeling the fear. Therefore, in this situation, fear is the voice, fear is the reply, and fear is the answer. Quite often it is fear that tells you that you are not able to speak up, that you are not able to be heard, that you are not quite sure of the answer or solution. Your reply may be a million percent accurate — you hope it is, you know it is — yet you still are not convinced because you have fear.
Fear is based only on a single person experiencing their thought or feeling. Therefore, those around you will try to swipe that thought or feeling away very quickly by either talking over you, not hearing correctly, not listening, pretending that you are not even there, appearing busy, or being unobservant. A classic indication of this is, "I'm sorry. Can you repeat that please?" This is the receiver saying, "I deliberately ignored everything you just said, as I could detect your feeling of fear, and I am already fearful in my life; therefore, I am trying really hard to not consume anyone else's fears, as I do not like the feeling."
You see, when ancient humans first spoke, they did not hear their words; they felt their words. Speech felt like a mess, like a huge kerfuffle of clanging chimes; nothing felt right. They tried and tried to create a moment in which they felt the feeling sit clearly. They felt this feeling first in their abdomens. Then, after this sound of feeling sat there for a long time, they finally felt it needed to come out, so they broke their silence and winched it up, as if pulling it with a crane, into their upper chests till it found its way to the larynx. That is when they opened their mouths so wide that they knew the sound had to get out. They yelled and yelled and yelled. They continued yelling until they saw that the yelling was making their throats hurt, so they chose to tone it down by sending a thought: It's okay to yell, but I will soothe myself first before I attempt to yell any more. They sat again in silence, and when they felt a feeling, an inkling in their abdomens again, that they needed to express, they did it again, winching it up into their chests. But this time they let it sit there for a moment. They observed it, felt it vibrate.
Slowly, as they felt no need to yell, the feelings crept only in very small doses into their larynxes. This time, bit by bit by bit, they let it out of their wide mouths, and without fear, they found that their voices could handle quiet expressions, even soft expressions. They played all day with these tiny moments of hearing their own voices create sounds of different feelings. When they tried once more after a long period of silence following the path they knew so well, they were again in a fright, as their voices made an array of sounds that could include the volume of screaming. They knew then the power they had was inside of them, in their stomachs waiting in silence, churning, creating fear. For would they yell, mimic sounds of nature, or play with their own sounds, and that is when they realized that their voices were instruments. That the instrument could be kind and soothing or boisterous and loud and vast — so much so that the birds all flew away when they used them. Fear became the default mechanism installed to question the self, to question the moment of when to use the instrument, and at what decibel, and with what tone.
To accept today that you do not need fear anymore is quite freeing. Without fear, you can speak specifically in certain places and with certain people with a clear mind. For example, when you are queuing up in at the supermarket, you know that you will not have to yell at the top of your voice to communicate to the person standing next to you. You know now what is considered appreciation for the sounds you as a human makes, but what you have not known is how to remove the fear you feel before you speak, as that fear is a natural default mechanism that your ancestors learnt to control. To alleviate this fear, simply repeat the following three affirmations:
I accept my speech.
I hear truth.
I am truth.
I accept my speech. This is the first step to displaying courage to trust your voice sounds.
I hear truth. It is vitally important to speak the truth, as it unmasks you from identifying others' language. Where before you were protecting yourself from their fear, now you can stand within their fear and control your own.
I am truth. This is the last of the three affirmations. Such an open mouth is needed for this one.
It makes no difference whether you speak the affirmations out loud or in your mind, for to say "I am truth" does not only convince the default mechanism that it no longer needs to operate, it is telling the heart and soul, "I only know one exciting thought about the truth, and that is that I am truth, I am truth, I am truth." This is you, for you will speak only the truth, for you already know the truth. You are the holder of the truth because it is you! It is not anyone else's. Even if other people's opinions seem more impressive than yours, it is your truth. Once you communicate by speaking using words that are from the soul that dwells within the heart — for that is all you can speak from, as the fear is removed now — then you will be able to hear only the truth in others. And when you feel successful at both of these, then you will know without a single doubt that it is you who hears and speaks the truth.
You are now able to listen with love and also communicate to life with much trust in exactly the way you desire.

Less commonly, we may process this type of information where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your (or someone else’s) interests and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public. We may also process such information about our people (or former people) in the course of our legitimate business activities with the appropriate safeguards.
The special categories of personal data may be used in the following ways:
in relation to leaves of absence, to comply with employment and other laws;
in relation to your physical or mental health, or disability status, to ensure your health and safety in the workplace and to assess your fitness to work, to monitor, manage and administer benefits and absences;
in relation to your race, national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual life or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.
DISCLOSURE:
Personal data may be transferred to service providers who support the operation of our business (such as payroll service providers), to other third parties reasonably necessary in the conduct of our business (including insurers, professional advisors, regulators). These third parties may be acting as processor, or controller of personal data in their own right.
In respect of all disclosures of personal data, we will only share the personal information which is necessary for the particular purpose for which it is provided, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, and we will ensure that the personal data is appropriately protected.
RETENTION PERIOD:
We will keep personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. We will normally keep personal data of applicants who we do not employ for six months after we receive it.
We will keep personal data of employees throughout your employment and normally for a minimum of six years after your employment ends.
Changes to your personal data

Data Security
We have put in place measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those of our people and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and the ICO of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
