You want quick and practical solutions to have peace, harmony and less pain and suffering now? Stop reading all of those Phillip Yancy books. He uses too many buzz words, catchy slogans. Paying money for books more than two chapters is dumb. Here IS HOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE A BIT MORE HAPPINESS, PEACE AND love:
1) As a bible believing Christian who follows Jesus, stop watching TV. Get out of the modern culture.   Go to Youtube, and watch videos of VigilantChristian, Good Fight ministries and sermons from Pastor Bryan Dellinger, of husky394xp and listen to Alex Jones and "I'll Be Honest" of pastor Washer.  Also listen to sermons from zion45 and Pastor Adrian Rogers. 

2) Spend more time in the forest, and doing meditation. Write your thoughts, dreams, goals, and talk about your pain on paper...keep a diary even if you are a man.

3) Start taking natural herbs, vitamins and medicinal teas for better health. Take home remedies for healing rather than depend on the cut-and-bill-you modern medical doctors and hospitals. Check out youtube for the dangerous hospital and pharmaceutical culture. the above three things will save you money, and give your mind accuracy and clarity of vision, thougths. It might even help you get rid of noise poison and the healthy living will detox your body from bad chemicals. You may need to study up on survival techniques, gear and study up on medicianl herbs and plants, found in wild, and in your health food store. This will enable you to save money for Obamacare and doctor bills. GET OUTDOORS MORE AND LIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE.

4) Dont get into debt. Do everything you can to get out of debt or declare bankruptcy. When you are in debt, you can be controllled by govmt or companies, utilities and can lose things. Remember, True Wealth is freedom of time, freedom of debt, freedom of mobility (involves healthy living).

5) To better survive and have less stress in your life, and to teach your children to have less stress in future, do the above things AND LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT CAR REPAIR, and healthy plants, herbs. When you do this, you save money. when you save money, you have more TIME and ability to spend gas money to get to that forest. You will have more money to spend on vitamins, healthy herbs and plants. You will have money to buy seeds to plant in your garden so you can grow some of your own food. More money allows you to move your car further "down the road" and gives you mobility, unless you can use your horse to get around. Although these things sound like they are NOT spiritual, they do have a factor in reducing stress, and DISTRACTIONS to our spiritual pursuits. the current society, government and Corporate advertisers dont want you to know or do these things because of HYPER CONSUMERISM.  You will also have more time for your kids.

6) Buy less things. Spend less money. BUY AND TRADE THINGS WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FLEA MARKETS. Create your own clothes! Who says we have to embrace more pain and suffering. We all know that Yin and Yang will exist ANYWAY NOMATTER WHAT WE DO. Fine. But dont seek to ADD TO IT. Be ready for the " cyle of life" and its struggles. But be like the monks in mountains or the early christian apostles, and live a free and simple life from society's vices. ON a last note: As long as we are forced to live in a MONEY society, we will never be totally free. Unless we are single and go and hide out in wilderness (northwest, or grand canyon). As long as there is a DMV and NEW HEALTHCAR OBAMACARE tax, we cannot expect to never work! We must make at least some money. Be blessed.

7)Don't paint your car pink if you are a man.  If you are a girl, don' t paint your car brown or bright blue.  Don't talk to raccoon who you suspect have not washed their hands.  If you are a person who talks a LOT, do not buy a parakeet.  He or she will eventually hang themselves!.
