In Mansion of Poetry, the concept levitates the inspiration of Carlton Lloyd freely throughout his mind. It's a life lesson, spitting poetic words that vibrate like an earthquake. The words sounded louder than thunder throughout creation. Goodness and wisdom are like the tree of knowledge; they are taught from. Mansion of Poetry is not built from bricks, stones, woods, or mood and steel. It is built from love, happiness, harmony, and one togetherness.
Introduction A life of Healing, a life of Health, A life worth living is a life of Wealth. I have practiced over 25 years as a chiropractor and I have learned that most people come to me to treat their pain. I’m sure that most doctors and therapists have the same experience, people want to receive a treatment that will cure their illness. As I treat my patients I’m also analyzing how their problem was created. I’m looking at various factors like diet, lack of exercise, injurious repetitive movements or anything else that could provoke the problem. I’m trying to get the patient to take responsibility for their problem and help me with their treatment. It appears that I’m treating their physical illness but over the years I have come to a new realization, that a person’s emotional, mental and spiritual side can also affect their health. The reality of the situation is that we can’t separate an illness into a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual ailment, because everything works together. I now understand that attitudes play an essential role in our health and wellbeing. Attitudes have characteristics that are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. In psychology attitudes are labeled as behavioral (physical), affective (emotional) and cognitive (mental). In this book attitudes have a spiritual side as well, attitudes will have a positive spiritual value or a negative spiritual value. Attitudes that bring people together and unite them has an energy with a positive spiritual value and attitudes that are divisive and cause separation has a negative value. If we have attitudes with a negative spiritual energy then they will cause illness; physical illness, mental illness and emotional illness. We need to adopt attitudes with a positive spiritual energy if we want to stay healthy and grow spiritually. Spiritual growth is there for all of us but we have to make the effort, no one can make us grow spiritually. Looking for someone to cure our ills is a short-term proposition, the long term cure is when we discover what is causing us harm and create a healthy lifestyle. The 7 Laws of Human Nature is a scientific philosophical study into the human consciousness, the 7 chakras and the human aura. We use theories to make sense about what we are observing in life, to explain ideas and interpret facts. The 1st chapter is the Theory of the Oneness of Universal Love, which will present 7 hypotheses. These hypotheses will present facts and suppositions of facts, which will be followed up by a theory. This is all happening on four energy levels; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Life on Earth has to have a reason, our lives aren’t an accident and this book presents a logical theory on the how and why of life. This is a book on love and how love works in our lives. With Love and Devotion to All
