- Creation and destruction are two sides of a single coin. A
knowledge of their principles is a necessity for success. To
create you must learn to destroy appropriately, for death is
required for rebirth. You must transform old beliefs into
new ones to see change in your life. - You must dissolve limitations to create the possibility for
expansion. Since the universe is expansive and expanding,
going with that flow is fruitful. - Expanding and growing means coping with change. There
is only so much change your physical form can accommo-

and knowing how to communicate with them. Discovering
how to balance your magnetic vs. dynamic sides as well as
your head, your heart, and your gut is a key to developing
power. - Knowing how to dance, sing, play, and laugh allows the
power to flow in ever increasing amounts.

path one after another, while other people around you may
continue to struggle.
It is not uncommon to have synchronistic meetings with
people in remarkable places. During his travels in Asia, Jose
was exercising shamanic techniques regularly. When he was
traveling in Nepal, he stopped into a hotel lobby in Kat-
mandu for directions and ran headlong into his former acu-
puncturist from Berkeley, California. She was heading for an
isolated monastery to visit her teacher, a high Tibetan Bud-
dhist lama. It just so happened that this was of great interest
to Jose, who had been hoping for just this sort of thing, an
