“You are more than just matter. You are a highly complex, light-controlled consciousness system.”—David Bingham
I have shared this story many times. The one about the five-year-old boy who begs for time alone with his new baby sister.
He’s so adamant in his requests for this solo, sans-parent time that they worry. What could he possibly have to say that he wouldn’t want us to hear?
But he’s persistent. He insists they simply MUST be alone. His parents finally grant his wish as they secretly wait in the hallway outside the door.
He tiptoes quietly into the nursery, bends over the bassinette and whispers to his weeks-old sibling, “Tell me about God. I’m starting to forget.”
That forgetting, my friends, is what my new book is about. How do we humans go from pure infinite love into a state of limited, fearful consciousness? Why is it that we aren’t actively, blissfully soaking up the world’s many wonders?
In my new, about-to-be released book, I share how the voice in our head (I’ve been known to call it an asshat) uses distractions, illusions and misguided beliefs to cover up the fact that humans are divinity in disguise.
It includes more than two dozen confessions, game plans and strategies devised by the pernicious voice that now dominates most of humanity’s thinking.
The Ego’s Playbook, as I call it, comes at spiritual liberation through the back door. When you “know thy enemy,” as Sun Tzu recommended, you’re better able to recognize the bugs in the system, to more quickly identify your own destructive patterns and habits and, without fighting them, clearly see how to let them go.
The Ego’s Playbook takes readers on a graphic journey through the comically lilliputian thoughts of the mind into the vast expansiveness of the heart.
It’s short, humorous and hopefully, helpful to anyone wanting to break free from old patterns. I call it a “picture book for grownups” and I’m very excited to share it with you. I’ll be sending a link to order in the next couple days.
In the meantime, here’s a cute video my illustrious designer Violet Lemay created for page 144.

I am excited for this new book….
Pam, I’ve read and own all of your new thought books. Can’t wait for this one.
And imagine that little boy 6 years from now, asking his little sister- “what do you think happens when we die?” Her confident reply- “We go back to being normal.” And your new book looks like fun! Thankfully, they always are. Have a magical and blessed weekend Pam, I appreciate you. {{Hedgehugs}}
Looks so amazing!!! Can’t wait till it’s out. Big hugs and bags of joy sent your way. ❤️🤗 xx
Can’t wait to read your new book!!!! ❤️🩷❤️
Can’t wait for this! ✨🤍
Very much looking forward to holding this new book in my hands and grasping the inspiring truths that I’m certain are revealed within it! Thank you Pam! 🥳🙏🏼
Hi,
This is such a powerful and necessary reminder. The concept of the “mind’s chatter” as a separate entity from our true, essential self is a game-changer. It’s so easy to get completely identified with that relentless stream of thoughts, worries, and judgments, forgetting that we are the awareness behind it all. Your writing makes this profound spiritual concept feel accessible and immediate.
My question is about the practical shift: In a moment when the mind’s chatter is particularly loud and convincing, what is the most effective “first step” or quickest anchor you’ve found to create that critical sliver of space between your awareness and the thoughts, allowing you to remember “who you are” beneath the noise?
Hi Pam! I read a bit of one of two of your books every day. Thank and Grow Rich, and The Course in Miracles Experiment. When I get to the end of them, I just start them over. I am on my 11th time through Thank and Grow Rich, and my 6th time through The CIM Experiment. They start my day on the right foot, every single day. And, I’ve sent them to many others, suggesting they do the same.
I look forward to this new little gem. Thank you!
What an amazing story, about that little boy.
This is a terrific book, Pam. A much needed guide for all of us who live too much inside our own heads (in other words… pretty much all of us!) <3
