A popular trend in self-help and life coaching is the idea that a key path to success is to find ways to immerse ourselves in positivity and remove negativity. This is sometimes referred to the "Law of Attraction". Words such as miracle are mixed in. Instead of using "Law of Attraction" this book shows how a combination of the "Law of Magnetic Attraction" with the "purpose of life" gives a truer description of how life actually works. The truth is that all things that come to you are gifts, and you don't need to do anything special to achieve this. At times you may not like the gifts that are coming to you, but that's because you don't realize yet how special and perfect the gifts actually are. There is an irony in life that the harder you try to achieve something often the less success you will have and then when you finally give up in frustration it suddenly comes to you in abundance. Once you can make the journey within yourself you will start to see you actually have nothing to do or change to achieve success. Once you can realize this you are able to let go, relax, and ease into synchronicity with REAL life. The final irony that is hard for most all to see, realize and accept is that you are actually already doing everything right -- but until you can come to realize this, it will NOT be right. But once you realize it, your purpose and divine purpose will be aligned and then rather unexpectedly you will see how all that has happened was perfect and that all is well. Some specific topics addressed are: • What to do with Fear and Pain? • Walking towards fear instead of avoiding it. • Why are there "nasty" people? • Why are bad things happening to me? • What's the purpose of Life? • The actual equation that describes "Law of Magnetic Attraction" • Why Self Love has nothing to do with either Selflessness or Selfishness? • Why Selflessness and Selfishness are actually the same thing and both illusions? • Why once you clear up the illusion of Selfless vs. Selfishness you can focus on the highest form of creating success for you, others and humanity world-wide. The highest form is surprisingly much simpler and ordinary than you might guess. • Why achieving higher spiritual enlightenment is ACTUALLY NOT very important in spirituality because the basic experiencing of love and kindness is actually the end goal? • Practicing gratitude versus actually feeling grateful. • For those who are atheists this book addresses: Is there a God? • For atheists and believers in God this book addresses: Who is God?

WakunDaMa was born in Still Water, Oklahoma an area in the middle of former Native American territories. He was somewhat of a sickly child in his early years contracting the flu regularly every year and like many recovered by spending a day or two in bed getting rest. At the age of 14 he started working with visualization meditations to improve memory and then discovered how it seemed to help him recover from the flu faster. In his first try he noticed recovery in half a day. In the second oncoming of a flu he recovered in 30 minutes. And then for many years afterwards would no longer get the flu. In his 20's and 30's most of his life was spent working in the corporate world as a computer and electrical engineer. At the same time WakunDaMa continued to deepen his spirituality. By year 2000 he started to teach courses on spirituality and meditation. He also started writing the first Spirituality for REAL book. However, during this time period he started to gradually enter an ever-deepening crisis and depression. By 2008 this crisis came to a head, forcing him to take a break for several months, spending time in and out of hospital care. During these hard times WakunDaMa continued to write on his experiences and realizations. By 2009 he started sharing these experiences, discoveries and insights in two different blog sites touchthesource.com and tiredmiddleagedman.com A few years later he enrolled in the Barbara Brennan School of Healing hoping to come out with a career outside the corporate world. After 4 years of intensive training in the school he ironically came out better strengthened as a leader in the corporate world and became a highly regarded project manager in the manufacturing and IT world. Still hungry for more strength and guidance he joined a small group of working professionals for an additional five years of facilitated personal growth through the Pathwork transformation program. These experiences helped him strengthen the bridge between spiritual life and everyday real life. In early 2019 WakunDaMa started creating inspirational videos in the form of improvisational dance to "pop" music. These videos can be seen on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube if you search for the name "WakunDaMa". These same videos demonstrate the application of WakundaMa® Yoga to re-educate tension of muscles in the body while having fun. WakundaMa® Yoga is introduced in his first book in the Spirituality for REAL series. The Spirituality for REAL series, covers WakunDaMa's experiences and learnings from over 30 years. The first book is dedicated to helping bridge the gap between the skeptic and believers in spirituality. The second book builds upon the foundation of the first book. WakunDaMa's books sharpen the critical thinking of the believers while expanding the considerations of the skeptic. Both are needed as the foundation for deeper and more real-life application of spirituality in the everyday real world such as in the corporate world. His goal in this series is to share a way of being that allows people to hold the right balance of confidence, assertiveness along-side of patience, gentleness, and compassion. Whether you meet him in person, watch him in his YouTube videos, read his blogs, or read his books WakunDaMa seeks to hold a healing space for you.
