Constant bad relationships? An unnatural and exaggerated fear of heights? Despondence for no particular reason? Sabotaging your abundance time and again? Deathly afraid of getting lost?

And, if you’re going to succeed in business…you…
“Sell Without Selling!” … “Never Sell Again!” … “Salesless Selling!” Have you noticed the proliferation of teachings and articles telling you that you don’t need to sell in order to … sell?

In Vernon Howard’s book, Esoteric Mind Power, he writes: “If a mechanical robot made a rude remark to you, you would not feel offended, for your ego would not feel threatened by a mere machine. But because you fail to see that most people are equally mechanical, you attribute an ego to them, which causes…
