A Times News Poll taken in 2005 says that only 13 percent of the population has lived the best possible life they could have - and author Jule Gaige has something to say to the 87 percent who do not.

In her book, I Gave Up My Life to Find IT, Gaige shares her journey to wholeness and her realization of her true potential for abundance, harmony, peace, and joy. Written for anyone that commits to overcoming illness, relationship discord, discontent, addiction or lack/financial unrest, I Gave Up My Life to Find IT expresses a greater life purpose. What makes this book different than others in the genre is that Gaige gently guides the reader through the process to repair the breaks caused by mind.

Resisting one's true potential means losing the perspective of how vast and significant our true power is. By accepting limitations in mind, we learn to forget our infinite capacity. Gaige's book is a push back for each of us to “walk our talk.”

Sit quietly for a moment and allow now to be exclusively your time. Become totally you-centered. Instead of seeing yourself merely as form or physical body, feel and see beyond to the true substance of you. There is infinitely more present and accessible than what appears in the physical world. Instead of relating yourself only to the material world, relate yourself to the Absolute, of which you are a natural part. See yourself, as a vital energy of this universe. Close your eyes and ask yourself this simple, but direct, question —why am I here? What is my purpose in the grand scheme of things? Then, allow your intuition to answer the questions! Look around at the “things” you acquired, the relationships you are in, as well as the situations that encompass your life. Then, ask yourself — why is all this present in my life? What does it all mean? How does it relate to my state of mind? How can I use it to determine the cause of situations that take form? And, most of all, how can I change those situations and relationships? Then, reflect that in the scheme of this universe, you play a magnificent part. You are a vital existence of power. In fact, the universe is incomplete without you; you express in a way no one else expresses. With the creative flow of unconditional love, unlimitedness is present and available to each of us. Over the course of a lifetime, however, many of us have forgotten what we are. In fact, our potential is so vast (so infinite) that we lose sight of it. We lose sight of it because we learned to look for difficulty, in spite of simplicity. I recall hearing a lecturer say, “As humans, we are complex”. Yes, as humans that resist our Truth, we learn to accept and project complexity into our lives. That expression forms corresponding experiences not only in our individual lives, but also those that filter into the world. We look for difficulty because we learned not to realize our true creative potential. We see ourselves as less, which becomes the state of affairs. In actuality, as we (humans with the infinite potential) understand; accept; and walk in the path of our Truth, we express simply. We express simply because the principles in action are simple by design. All along the simplicity of the answers are and have always been present. We have simply forgotten the breadth of our Truth. To remember the fullness, all we need do is look up into the sky; or at the movement of the waves of the ocean; or hear the words of Truth that vibrates to unlimitedness. We see one small part of the infinite expanse. We realize there is nothing left out, as we observe the natural growth of the vast array of flowers and trees that stem from miniscule seeds. We see the order, as we encounter the birds in flight, and the mammals and fish that occupy the world waterways. Then, we reflect not only the expression of life, but also that their needs are always fulfilled. We see the coherence when the sun comes up or goes down, or when the seasons change. We see it in the flow of the rivers and streams, and the way water seeks its own level. We see it in the birth process and the growth stages of the baby. We even see unity in hurricanes or tornadoes or any other event of nature. We have an innate knowing that all responds in the Infallible Way even before we realize that we are part of an inseparable from that Way. The Infallible Way is present that we experience all needed, even when we resist those needs due to our imperfect understanding. Further, we depend upon our planet revolving in alignment with the other planets. And, if the planets are on the course of collision, it aligns with the perfection to the whole of the universe. Although not visible, we are confident (we take it for granted) that we do not fly off into space because of an invisible force that we call ‘gravity’, which keeps us in place. It is the activity of an invisible power that is responsible for all of creation. It surrounds us, is in us and through us; in fact, it is us. It is more than a power that is within us. Rather, it is a level of us. There is a striking difference since to have something within us means it must be separate to become a part of us. The notion that God is within you affirms a separate God is part of you. But, God being a level of you (i.e. God is inside you) provides that God is inherent in what and who you are from the creation. The task at hand for all of us is to overcome resisting that Truth, realizing that we are One with God. Thus, from Truth, there is no separation. When we resist our true potential, we lose the prospective of how vast and significant that power is. What is more, as we resist our Truth, we forget our relation to the Absolute. By accepting those limitations in mind, we learned to forget our infinite capacity. As long as we express limitations in mind, we hold back the grandness that is already present. That is, we are One with the power of the universe, which occurs when we express from the depths of our Truth. It is not separate from us; rather, it is what we already are the moment that we realize that we are the whole. To realize our Truth, we must first unlearn the limitations we accepted in mind and remember our true purpose.

Jule Gaige achieved the standing of a successful lawyer and CPA, college lecturer, university teacher and seminar leader. In 1994, she followed her insight. Her writings describe her journey to wholeness beautifully and that our capacity is truly unlimited. Her book is filled with the divine message in Jule's outpouring of understanding. She now lives all that she discovered and enjoys each moment lovingly.
