How I made the most valuable book in the world.
Introduction
Hi, my name is Ammanuel Santa Anna. About 15 years ago, I had the idea to write a book. I did. It wasn’t very good, but I got hooked. I wrote another. I just love writing! With each book, I improved, and now, after 15 years of writing daily, I have written over 50 books. Each one is better than the last until finally, I consistently produce titles that I consider to be of the utmost quality, reliability, and informativeness. I got scared, actually. I didn’t feel that there was any more room to grow! So I got creative. I thought, what if I made a book that, in about 350 pages, gave someone the most accurate view of themselves they would ever receive? So I did. It’s called “Your Luminous Blueprint” and it’s eerily accurate. From day one I actually scared myself by how well it portrayed me. And then it just kept getting better!
Astrology
First came astrology. I had studied astrology for years and was amazed that when you stop reading the horoscope in your inbox or the newspaper and amass dozens of points of data, you can retrieve (when done with precision) powerful information about the collage of energies that make up a person, the texture of time that they are currently moving through, and what challenges they will face in different arenas of life. As a life coach, I was amazed! One could do so much with this information to help people navigate their goals and dreams in alignment with the stars.
Some areas of life will be easier than others, but now I could determine which ones and why. I also could detect what was happening celestially, which can inform us from small details like days when communication simply won’t work for us to the best days to go hunting for a new job. The planets create an energetic network that forms a certain “constellation” at any point in time that is actionable. Importantly, I found that different parts of the world affect our love, abundance, and health in different ways. Simple things like putting up a picture from a part of the world where your luck with love is strong will help you, or cooking a meal from that area. It might sound crazy, but I have experienced firsthand just how powerful astrology can be. I don’t care how it supposedly works; what I care about is what it’s good at and how I can use it to help my clients.
Actionable Astrology
Funny enough, most astrologers don’t really give actionable advice! They just let you know what’s going on. Everyone can appreciate that, but it’s an utterly useless skill if you’re not going to apply it to something. I use it to help people become their best selves and live their best lives, but I am what is called an integral thinker. Systems thinkers put together processes to create systems, and, of course, someone figures out the best series of actions to take in order to get the best process.
Integral Thinking
I examine and am still examining a multitude of systems to see how they can complement each other to get the best results. I take my client’s astrology as one of a multitude of pieces of information. Integral theory is another important one. If integral theory is the lines on a drawing, telling you exactly where you are in any of a multitude of levels of development or systems, astrology is like the paint you put on top to give that character and personality.
Myers-Briggs and Personal Growth
Myers-Briggs offers insight into how a person predominantly perceives the world. Despite the fact that for each trait, we all lie on a spectrum, having a test that determines what you usually do is more useful than just telling us about you. Of course, as a coach, we use it to tell you how you can grow. Introverted sensors will get the most personal growth out of activities that require extroverted feeling. We create custom exercises based on things like that for our clients, which then lets them grow in strategic ways delineated by integral theory, which really covers everything that exists. If a person’s dream goal requires development in one area, I can refer to their Myers-Briggs chart. Knowing them, I custom tailor exercises to gradually increase their proficiency in the areas they will need to reach their goals.
Other Systems
I have always been into studying Chinese medicine, and their five element philosophy is spot on for generating health if correctly understood. Feng Shui is our next step. Eventually I’d like to be able to send someone to your house to arrange the elements, colors and positions for your personal well-being. That would be fun! And of course we use numerology…one of the really big picture systems that tells you about things like fate and purpose. Finally Ayurveda. I’ve been a yogi my entire adult life and well, I wanted to compliment the dietary aspects of 5 element theory with another system and both systems can see our bodies and their makeups from complimentary perspectives.
Appreciative Coaching
I might get flamed for this but most of the uh, predictive systems I have studied seem to come from a really fatalistic viewpoint. They largely just tell you this is who you are and this is what is hard/bad/good for you, so avoid this, move towards that…ESPECIALLY with astrology. And i’m a Type-A proactive life coach, so when I started learning about astrology I thought there MUST be something actionable in here. Interestingly enough my entire life whenever people tell me what’s going on astrologically for me, I’m actually just unconsciously doing exactly the best thing for me so I don’t really need to check it that often, and I think that everyone could do that if they learn to live in harmony with themselves.
That’s the real trick behind ALL of these sytems…how to live as your true authentic Self. That’s the POINT. They just point you in the right direction, and I think very few people realize that. However I use a coaching method that’s designed to not only align you with your authentic Self, but create the goals and dreams of this badass and divine version of you, as well as work with your strengths, rather than constantly trying to “improve.” My practice is about growing not necessarily “improving” I’m trying to get you to the empowered divine core of who you are and construct a life custom made for that version of yourself. “Improvement” usually means becoming what someone else wants you to be, or has sold you on believing you should be. On the outside they can look very similar, but the spiritual direction of movement is different. One is bringing you closer to your Self. Another is fighting against the flow to fit in some ideal that wasn’t made for you in the first place. And that is the exact opposite of my practice. We’re so bespoke, the pen we send you to fill in your daily growth journal has your name on it.
Bespoke Coaching Programs
I make them a calendar that guides them along this path, give them articles, guided meditations, and it’s so bespoke. We pay attention to our client’s learning style too, and create action plans tailored to their strengths, resources, and preferences. There’s truly no more bespoke program. I may be an integral thinker, but I’m a people person at heart. Honestly, before I even had this system, my clients were experiencing life-changing results in days. Now we have a way of working even more in harmony with the cosmos and with your Authentic Self. That’s what it’s all about for me—and that’s what this book does. Returning to our authentic self through self-knowledge and then growing into that through coaching, reflection, and self-improvement. Speaking of which, the book comes with custom writing prompts in a journal to guide you through your inner growth when not working on outer goals.
Conclusion
So that’s it. The most valuable and interesting book you will ever own. Pick one up now! Or join the waitlist, apparently it takes some time to handmade a leather book!
