I AM = Cause Substance, Self definition of God.

Your concept of yourself defines the world in which you live.

There are no causes outside of your mind that can affect YOUR life.

There are no outside causes other than your state of consciousness.

First step to transforming your mind is desire.

THEN make your future dream a present fact.
