Acknowledgements

Thanks to Abbie Bliss, Wendy Jane Carrel, Denise DuBarry Hay, Wynn Free, Bill Hay, Sharin Klisser, Jean-Claude Koven and Don Newsom, who were there at the beginning of this book, creating the idea in a weekend of discussion in January 2006. They gave me the inspiration to start this project!

Thanks to Bruce Peret and Eccles Pridgeon, who generously helped me with early stages of outlining and gathering data for this book.

Thanks to James A. McCarty, who talked this book through with me for hours on end as I began to visualize its shape, and who also went hunting for good q’uotations to use in these pages and whose encouragement and support throughout the project were profound, far and above beyond anything imaginable.

Thanks to Steve Moffitt, whose second pair of eyes found many sentences and words to simplify and shorten as I strove to make this volume clear while retaining every nuance of The Law of One.

Thanks to Ian Jaffray, who readied this book for printing.

Thanks to Michele Matossian, the graphic artist whose unique and inspired cover design for this book is so deftly simple and so beautiful.

Lastly, thanks to those who told me that an entry-level book on the principles of the Law of One was not needed, since most people do not care about these matters, and that no one can write such a book without “dumbing down” the concepts. Their doubts spurred me on. They helped me to set my imagination free to find ways to keep the writing simple and take it one step at a time—but keep it right!
