Quote by Salman Rushdie

“There are people who need to impose a shape upon the shapelessness of life. For such people the quest narrative is always attractive. It prevents them from suffering the agony of feeling what's the word. Incoherent.”

“At the time, there would only be incoherence. As though meaning had slunk out of things and left them fragmented. Disconnected. The glint of Ammu’s needle. The color of a ribbon. The weave of the cross-stitch counterpane. A door slowly breaking. Isolated things that didn’t mean anything. As though the intelligence that decodes life’s hidden patterns -that connects reflections to images, glints to light, weaves to fabrics, needles to thread, walls to rooms, love to fear to anger to remorse- was suddenly lost.

“If I could offer only one tool to help you attract more of what you want, it would be what is commonly called NAPS (Night Audio Programs).”

“I am a huge fan of NAPS, and by using them correctly we are able to access our subconscious minds and change our negative or neutral beliefs into positive ones.”

“Expanding on the age-old system of learning while you sleep through audio recordings, NAPS uses the exact same method as you would use for listening to any audio whilst sleeping.”

“In developing NAPS even further than just learning while you sleep, I have expanded on how others have brought this to the fore of subconscious power … I have gone beyond that.”

“... there is one BIG factor to take into account before listening to any NAPS recording, and that is clearing yourself of self-limiting beliefs and fears of overcoming!”

“Unless you clear those once stubborn self-limiting beliefs and fears you will find the NAPS you have recorded is simply a waste of your time in doing so.”

“The gatekeeper to the subconscious mind has to be overcome first before NAPS can work, and it is in the theta state when the gatekeeper can be bypassed. This is when NAPS works!”
