Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes That Bind Us

About Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes That Bind Us

What Boxes Define You?

“I thought I’d figured out boxes early in life. From the anticipation of the puppet leaping out of my wind-up jack in the box to constructing castles from oversized cardboard containers, I thought I understood their boundaries. Yet, as life unfolded, I realized boxes aren’t always square, and some are cleverly designed to keep us confined.”

Boxes are a part of our lives, following us wherever we venture, whether we acknowledge them or not. They provide structure, safety, and security and often help identify similarities between us. We live in boxes (houses), receive boxed gifts, and pack our belongings into boxes to move into a new “box.” We use boxes to express things: “Think outside the box,” “She’s boxed into a corner,” or “Be sure to check all the boxes.” Some people base their identity on the box they put themselves in.

Boxes can also be scary. By nature, they divide and separate. Unseen, metaphorical boxes of expectations of our families, religions, communities, employers, and others can evoke intense emotions and trap us.

Serial real estate entrepreneur Betsy Pepine has lived in her share of boxes. From growing up with the expectation of becoming a doctor through creating a successful real estate business—one of Inc.’s 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the USA multiple times—her compelling stories shared in Breaking Boxes will help you:

Pure and Stained Roses

About Pure and Stained Roses

Rose, Kate, and Annabel have been best friends since college. They were faced with making the right or wrong choice for a life partner.
Kate had an unhappy childhood experience due to a lack of fatherly love. Her father divorced her mother and disappeared with another woman, leaving her mother heartbroken. To prevent this from happening to her, she decided to do what she called ‘a one-year pre-marriage thing’ with her fiancé before marriage. This is a way she can be sure she is marrying the right man, and it is also a way to prevent ever getting a divorce.
Kate’s son, named Charles, and Rose’s daughter, named Isabella, became childhood best friends and went to the same high school. They behave like lovers but aren’t dating. This friendship has broken many of their dates. Their parents and close friends decided to do anything possible that would make them lovers.
Charles and Isabella registered for a one-week free Hawaii vacation in a way they didn’t exactly plan. The vacation is strictly for lovers, and it has romantic rules that will spice up relationships. After they were luckily shortlisted, they traveled to Hawaii and were faced with challenging situations in which what they had done in the past caught up with them.
In Charles and Isabella’s high school, there were three friends named Jane, Linda, and Susan. Something very strange happened between them, which broke their friendship. However, they later encountered a serious issue that, if they don’t get back together and work quickly to find a solution, could endanger their lives.

Sorcerers of Tibet, The Mystery & Magic by M.G. Hawking

About Sorcerers of Tibet, The Mystery & Magic by M.G. Hawking

Discover the Profound Secrets of the Ancient Zhang Zhung Art of True Magic. Transcribed directly from the field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in remote Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, this book contains detailed narratives of Hawking’s experiences and conversations with a powerful practitioner of the ancient Zhang Zhung art of magic. These narratives provide unprecedented first-hand accounts of her demonstrations of psychokinetic abilities and in-depth descriptions of the apprenticeship and the knowledge that allows the acquisition of such extraordinary abilities, the ‘Four Portals.’
A group of highly esoteric teachings setting forth the true nature of physical reality and techniques of powerful elemental magic, the ‘Four Portals’ and are of extreme antiquity. The first extant traces of the teachings appear as part of the lore of the ancient Zhang Zhung culture, but they are believed to have originated far earlier. Being an exceedingly restricted body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for some 2600 years, not to reemerge until the 7th century AD in the arcane scriptures of the pre-Buddhist B’on religion in Nepal.
The rare esoteric teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ contain enormous amounts of elemental magic, in keeping with their view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices. These teachings are founded on a profound premise: “The Universe is but a mirage which exists in the mind, springs from it, is controlled by it, and sinks into it.”
To understand this premise in a contemporary context, we may consider the following: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.”—Max Planck, originator of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel Laureate. “Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.”—Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”—Albert Einstein, Nobel Laureate.
An incomparable book for anyone seeking enlarged knowledge and personal power. 2020 Edition, e-reader page count 374 (estimated, count varies with reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the description and ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
