My deepest gratitude to the greatest human beings in history, who risked their lives to ensure the knowledge and truth of life was preserved for future generations.

For the creation of the book, The Power, I want to thank the following people for their invaluable assistance in making this book what it is: Skye Byrne for her phenomenal editing and, together with Jan Child, for their guidance, encouragement, expertise, and invaluable input; Josh Gold for his fastidious scientific and historical research; Shamus Hoare of Gozer Media and Nic George for the book design; and Nic George for his original artwork and graphics, and dedication in working to create a powerful and beautiful book that will touch every person’s life who holds it in their hands.

My deepest thanks to my publishers at Simon & Schuster:
Carolyn Reidy and Judith Curr for their faith and willingness to open their minds and hearts to new ways so that together we can bring joy to billions; my editor Leslie Meredith who made the editing process of The Power a complete joy; copy editors Peg Haller, Kimberly Goldstein, and Isolde Sauer; and the rest of the team at Simon & Schuster – Dennis Eulau, Lisa Keim, Eileen Ahearn, Darlene DeLillo, 1wisne Fan, Kitt Reckord, and Donna Loffredo – for their tireless ongoing work.

My love and thanks to my work colleagues and dear friends who make up The Secret team, for their courage to open their minds to all possibilities and overcome every challenge so that we can bring joy to the world: Paul Harrington,Jan Child, Donald Zyck, Andrea Keir, Glenda Bell, Mark O’Connor, Damian Corboy, Daniel Kerr, Tim Patterson, Hayley Byrne, Cameron Boyle, Kim Vernon, Chye Lee, Lori Sharapov, Skye Byrne,Josh Gold, Nic George, Laura Jensen and Peter Byrne.

My thanks to lawyers Michael Gardiner and Susan Seah of Gardiner Seah; my deepest thanks to lawyers Brad Brian and Luis Li at Munger Tolles, for their guidance and expertise, for being a living example of integrity and truth, and for bringing positivity into my life.

To my dearest friends who continually inspire me to greatness: Elaine Bate, Bridget Murphy, Paul Suding, Mark Weaver, Fred Naider, Dani Hahn, Bobby Webb, James Sinclair, George Vernon, Carmen Vasquez, Helmer Largaespada, and last but not least, Angel Martin Velayos, whose spiritual light and faith causes me to lift myself to new levels so that I can fulfill my dream of bringing joy to billions.

To my daughters Hayley and Skye, who are my greatest teachers, and who light up my life every single day with their presence, and to my sisters Pauline, Glenda, Jan, and Kaye, for their never-ending love and support through the good times and through the challenging times. The sudden death and loss of our father in 2004 led me to the discovery of The Secret; during the process of writing The Power, our mother – our best friend – passed away, leaving us to continue on without her and be the best that we can be, and to love unconditionally so that we can make a difference in the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Mum, for everything.
