Friends,
I am sharing this book freely now because I have a strong sense that quite soon a lot will be hitting the fan for
a lot of people. Anyone half-awake can see and sense the ominous, or that we are headed for a big storm
before the Calm. It may happen very soon or take more time to express in our reality.
This book is designed to be a survive/thrive guide for times when it is hitting the fan. It is loaded with good and
some little-known ideas you can use to be calm and grounded at any time. Consider playing with them now.
Get to know them and use the ideas and exercises that work best for you…maybe before it hits the fan.
At this crucial moment in our collective evolution, it is most important for us to understand basically what is
happening, why it is happening, and then to trust our power to move through it with grace and power.
Claiming Your Power
Please consider that you have powers far greater than you have been brainwashed to believe. You
cannot make full use of these powers until you trust them.
Fast approaching is a time when most of us will have to make a calmly firm, very clear choice, a choice the
Universe (or God, or Allah or whatever you perceive it) has been pushing harder and harder for us to make.
The choice is between love and trust or fear and doubt.
Our lack of consciousness, and the forgetting of our true loving humanity, trust and calm has propelled us into
the mess that we are in.
The Universe is pushing us to get fed up.
Fed up with New Age energy-sucking “solutions,” with our corrupt institutions, and, most importantly, with the
imaginary, heart-suffocating ego that only seems to exist as we feed it with stupid thoughts and actions.
Consider the possibility that the “bad guys” who have been bleeding us are fulfilling a very important role in our
collective evolution: provoking us to get fed up. This is when true change happens, when we become open to
new options, open to accepting our deep power.
Tools to help you in doing that, many available for free, may be found at the Simple Awakening Tools website.
Check out the home page pause sessions, and see the video and the article blogs---menu at top of every
page.
Note: What you will find on the last page of this eBook is a synthesis of what I see as the
collective challenge during these changing times. Whether you agree with this or not,
consider making use of the tools you will find in this eBook to help you experience what is
going on with more calm, grounded power. Our destiny is loving, trusting Power. You get to
realize this for yourself, in your own way.
All Love,
Carlo
PS. There may be some things presented here that just do not fit for you. Please don’t “throw out the
baby with the bath water.” Use what you can use and throw the rest away. If you choose to spend
some time with this book, rather than speed-reading through it, you may find extreme value in it.

When It Hits the Fan
Don’t Hit The Panic Button…
Click On
Your
Pause
Button
Your Pause Button: the inner mechanism that you can call upon at any time to go
into the silence and be with whatever is. Remembering to use it is an
empowering way to tune into your own capacities for calm, trust, happiness and
wisdom.
The egoic mind will chatter at you and feed you with dirt to the extent that you
pay attention to it. Consider the possibility that removing our attention and
support from ego---our identification with it----is basically what we all came into
form to do in one lifetime or another.
The mess that is going on “out there” is simply a reflection of the inner battle that
we allow ego to wage upon the heart.
One powerful technique for hushing up the ego is simple silence. When you read
something here that is inspirational or confusing or new, read the sentence again
and then pause and close your eyes, breathe deeply, hush up your mind and

notice how you feel for a minute or so. In practicing this, you are creating a
power path map to discovering your truth and true loving power.

Note:
Many of the ideas in this book may run counter to what you have been led to believe about life
and how it works. In these times of great change, we are being asked to shift how we look at
ourselves and our world. If we keep on dealing with life as we always have, we will tend to
experience the same kinds of challenges until we address them in a different way. My
challenge to you, dear reader, is to open your mind, open it to being guided not by my words
but by the intent and wisdom of your heart. --- Carlo
