Judi Thomases, founder of a women’s spiritual network for meditation, teaching, and personal development, and former director of an interdisciplinary self-development center, has studied and written about metaphysics, astrology, and intuitive sciences for three decades. Her writings have been widely published and she has appeared often on radio and TV.

In a world, where everything seems to be becoming more and more difficult and more out of control, a book like this is a breath of fresh air. It helps us to stabilize and get a perspective on our personal lives and where we are heading with our choices and our actions.

The essential point of this book is that life really doesn’t take place outside of us, but inside of us. It’s up to us individually, and that is something that we CAN control. In “Wisdom’s Game,” the talented author, Judi Thomases, illustrates the key to joy and the process for discovering how to turn pain into joy is in our own hands. We just need access to it by getting to know ourselves. Once we learn more about ourselves and our intentions, we then have the ability to make change or progress toward our goals.

We all have problems. Most of us would rather avoid them, but in fact, facing reality is the best way to vanquish our problems. And this book gives a practical approach with effective solutions to approach our problems that keep us from participating fully in our own lives. It’s as if our souls are playing a game to ease our pain by pretending (denial). The biggest victory is to know ourselves! When we do, we may find that we’ve been avoiding what will actually give us the greatest joy. Learning to listen to ourselves, our souls, we can find all the wisdom and all the hope that we thought was lost to us. That’s the whole idea of “Wisdom’s Game.”

The author writes: “We are saying that there is nothing unnatural about your discontent, a fact to which all of psychology must awaken. Neither antidepressants nor long-term psychoanalysis will ever resolve or remove this longing for the greater self. There is but one path out of the dilemma, and that is to reawaken and to remember your true essence. You are unhappy because you are so much more than this, and because you’ve forgotten why you’re playing the game. Moreover, you have completely forgotten its rules.”

Rule#1: Remember your greater self at all times. 
Rule #2:  See all that is happening to you as part of your bargain, not as the trap or mess you have fallen into. 
Rule#3: Remember that no one but you devised the traps, messes, and dilemmas that are causing you so much pain and discomfort. 
Rule#4: Remember the methods [outlined in this book] for changing every problem into its opposite.” According to the author, “the key to solving the dilemma of dissatisfaction and pain” is in:
Rule#5:  Use your trump card, your ace in the hole, which is none other than the control of thought.

I particularly liked the chapter, “Soul Choices.”  Excerpt: “Some people measure their worth, not against worldly accomplishments, but against how well their choices reflect wisdom and benefit humanity. They don’t distinguish between their own good and the world’s when taking creative action… these individuals comprise the core of the push for enlightenment that is unfolding and blossoming on planet Earth.”

In this book, you’ll find these exciting subjects:  “How to turn heartbreak into love that you can experience instantly,” “The one mistake you’re making that keeps you from being happy right now,” “Five ways to feel greater contentment even under the worst of circumstances,” “Three metaphysical secrets that will change the way you see your life,” and “How to find the wisdom and joy you’ve been looking for since you were born.”

By using the wisdom of the ages and common sense that we’ve heard all of our lives but perhaps did not know how to apply, we learn from our mistakes. We are responsible for our choices, reactions, intentions, and most of all, our actions.  When we feel overcome by the negative, we can transform this into the positive by recognizing that we are NOT failures, but that we are learning lessons that will bear fruit.

None of the exterior riches or outside accomplishments mean anything if we do not have conscious control of our own mind and soul. All of the true riches lie protected, deep within us. And it is up to us to create the kind of person that we want to be. 
I highly recommend this book.
