THE POWER OF THOUGHT AND LIBERTY
In this book, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, presents a narrative that emphasizes the liberating power of thought through freedom which emanates from the search of knowledge. it is a piece that lends credence to the fact that when one conceives of a legitimate purpose in his heart, one should set out to accomplish it by making such purpose the centralizing point of one’s thoughts.
The author, with unpretentious delivery and deadpan dexterity, is able to point out that the average brain is naturally lazy and tends to take the line of least resistance. That until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. This is fittingly illustrative of what transpires in his academic life, right from his formative years at Mary Knoll College, Okuku, Ogoja, which culminates in the University of California, Berkely in the United States of America. Through this academic journey, the author was able to prove that he is not limited by the size of his hope. Hence, he does not allow his thought to wander away into ephemeral fancies.
This power of Human freedom has played a role in determining the course of human history and human fate. The author is not alone in this. There are more notable individuals both at the national and international levels that have partaken in such freedom of expression. Through this, they have been able to positively affect their immediate environments and the world in general.
No doubt, there are disintegrating elements, which break up the straight line of effort, rendering it crooked, ineffectual and useless. But this book presents the royal road to self-control, through constructive use of thoughts.
How well you understand the link between your thought and your manifestation, is crucial. This book emphasizes the thought that freedom is an innate part of a man. It is the only way to break free from the cycle of undesired realities. To achieve this, there should be a conscious thought of not identifying with negative thinking.
Rooted in the teachings of values, the author intends to use this book as a vehicle to further spread such values and hopes that the instructive lessons captured in this book, will make the needed impact in the society.
