E-Cubed is the followup book to E-Squared by New York Times best-selling author Pam Grout. Pam is also the author of 17 books. She has her own luxury travel blog page as well as a personal blog site. E-Cubed is my first exposure to this author.
Pam Grout employs lots of positive upbeat humor and joy in her writing.
My first impression of E-Cubed is that the book represents Pam’s unique interpretation of the kind of manifestation and possibility thinking that Dr. Wayne Dyer wrote about in Wishes Fulfilled and The Power of Intention.
The format that she utilizes as an alternative to traditional sequenced chapters is unique and created to captivate the reader’s eye and attention as well as inviting participation.
Each of the Experiments numbering from one through nine (in lieu of numbered chapters) lays out the basic theory of what is presented and then concisely summarized by Pam at the conclusion of each of the Experiments with her Lab Sheet. These are a fun filled method of blending elements of science with those of the spiritual and metaphysical worlds to illustrate the author’s message.
Prior to the Experiments section I enjoyed two simple lines of encouragement. "Commit to having fun, and, commit to being overjoyed."
The Experiments are:
#1 The more fun I have, the better life works.
This one’s about changing the momentum that you begin with each morning in starting your day. Making a change up for the betterment of yourself. Invest 72 hours in starting each day with motivating music or an exercise program that is a break away from your norm.
#2 My beliefs and expectations impact what I draw from the field of potentiality.
A quote that sums up this experiment for me is, “our ability to shape energy is like breathing. We do it all the time without realizing it.” — Damien Echols. The experiment allots 72 hours to find 8 things that the world reflects what you expect to see.
#3 Nothing is absolute; only my thinking makes it so.
In this experiment, Pam writes, “A belief is only a thought we continue to think over and over again. We decide how thing are and proceed to do everything we can to prove that conclusion. What if instead of searching so hard for the right answer, we simply admit there’s no universal anything.”
In other words, if one flips a long held belief about oneself, you will find just as much evidence to support that reality. The experiment is to invest 72 hours investigating whether the opposite of a long held negative belief about you is just as valid.
#4 There is no “them.” It’s only “us.”
In other words, the negative circumstances and folks that we encounter in our lives may just be perfectly timed opportunities for us to grow and evolve for our own benefit. 72 hours are allowed for this experiment. The mission is to look for things to appreciate about your enemy.
#5 Money is nothing but energy and a reflection of my beliefs.
Two parts to this experiment. Part one is to begin giving out monetarily what you wish to receive back. Part two is to align with the Quantum Field by hunting for pennies.
#6 A vibrating, pulsing field with mystical information is available if I pay attention.
A quote shared in this experiment (chapter) worth repeating is, “Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.” — George Washing Carver. The experiment involves banning the news and social media from your natural awareness. Your assignment is to walk in your neighborhood and be observant to what all is going on around you. While doing so, you are to actively expect and seek an important message.
#7 The words that spill from my mouth have a certain wattage and energy, and by using only words and phrases that bless and uplift, will I empower myself and others. The experiment is to actively monitor the words you use and to notice the change that shows up in your life as a result.
#8 My thoughts are insanely powerful. So powerful I can flip reality by withdrawing my attention and shifting it to a different reality. Here the challenge is to spend three days drinking self-created, energy infused water. Determine what you are going to improve or heal about yourself.
#9 There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.
Invest 3 days consciously trusting, being receptive to and waiting for a sign of the presence of the river of life. It is about celebrating what you want to see more of.
#10 Bonus Experiment. If one person did something, its possible for all.
Here the experiment involves the application and use of what is called Qigong energy to alter the taste and appearance of water.
Additional quotes I liked in E-Cubed that Pam shared are:
“Our thoughts hold more medicine than many of the astonishing breakthroughs of our time.” — Kris Carr, Crazy Sexy Kitchen
“You can change your world by changing your words.” — Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church
I found E-Cubed to be unexpectedly entertaining, informative and written to challenge the reader in fun ways that would light a fire of positive change in them.
