Find the Best Gifts for Dad
Diary of the Soul invites you to view the course of your life as a journey, a learning experience through which to grow, to find enrichment and depth. It sets out with the notion of life as an ongoing challenge. This book envisions your soul as traveling with you through the seven phases of life. Birth, child, adoles- cent, adult, elder, and death. The seventh phase is not quite a phase as such, but rather a foundation upon which everything else is based. In this book, we call it 'the Void'; it refers to the mystery from which you are born, to which you return after death, and which, throughout your life, lends meaning to your existence.
During each of the seven phases, certain forces awake within you, you receive a gift and gain a source of help for your personal development. Whether you are eighty, forty, or twenty-five years old, you can take up the gifts and their corresponding challenges at any moment of your life. Our lifespan elapses in a linear fashion, young to old, but at the same time we are timeless, layered beings. Within your adult self, the child still lives, and the child itself already contains the elder sage. Your age only emphasizes certain aspects of your development and invites you more
strongly to unpack the gift belonging to your current phase of life. Simultaneously, the comforting and inspiring truth is that it is never too late to unpack the gifts you have been given, in order to make the wisdom hidden within that learning experience truly your own.
The vision behind Diary of the Soul derives inspiration first and foremost from the people we have met in our line of work. Other important sources of inspiration are the psychologist Carl Jung, due to his eye for archetypes, as well as authors Joseph Campbell and Carol S. Pearson, who refer to the school of life as the hero's journey.
We were continually inspired by the great religious currents of Christianity and Buddhism, since both view the soul as a guiding principle; the Christian mystic Eckhart states that our souls contain the longing to make our home a place of God, and Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, advocates for
personal development because we shelter within us the inextinguishable fire of the desire for enlightenment.
Stories taken from world literature, myths, and fairy-tales, but particularly personal stories, provided us with inexhaustible sources for clarifying the soul's journey through the phases of life.
The soul itself is a concept found in all cultures: it represents your unique self, your free consciousness, your connection to the 'divine'. The soul knows many expressions, changing its garb throughout the phases of life, but it remains your guide on the path of development towards an inspired existence.
Diary of the Soul focuses on the bigger picture and provides practical tools to make your life richer, more fulfilled, and more
meaningful. Each chapter builds upon the previous one but stands on its own as well. On the next page you can see what that looks like in a chart. In the
spirit of a personal diary, each chapter ends with a poem, a look back, questions for reflection, and a dream that describes a theme belonging to that
phase on the subconscious level.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
