Ok. In reality, not all of the early editions of MSI book covers were ugly ducklings, but some of them certainly fit this category. It wasn't because the idea was necessarily a bad idea, but more as a result of limited technology and misinterpretation of the Visionary's mind based on the designer ability at the time.

Since then, technology has vastly improved and the Visionary responsible for the image cut out the middleman and designed these covers herself. Let's take a look at how the Thunder books have transformed over the years and see if you agree, that the way these books started compared to their current appearance is a astounding difference!

Some people completely disagree and love the original covers...are you one of those people?  Let us know in the comments below.

Simply... we LOVE these books.

But because this is a blog and not twitter, we will expand upon that statement. Here is a short list of our reasons for blogging about MSI books.

1. MSI's books have transformed our lives in countless ways, and so we commit to making them available to others even when it is far from profitable. 
2. We find endless inspiration from these books and enjoy sharing that creativity with those that are interested in the same type of things we are.
3. This blog is an avenue of expression for both ourselves and for those who read it and decide to engage with it via the “comment” section.
4. As we honestly and openly share about these transformative books that we love, we make them more accessible to the people who are looking for them out there on the web.

This is the first installment of the Yoda's Wisdom Picks from the Thunder Series. More is coming…
 
In the Star Wars series we have come to know the little green Master who arguably has said the most enlightened one-liners in the cinematic history of the world. With deeply contemplative big eyes and spoken words that follow an unconventional word order, Yoda has become very recognizable for even those that may not be so familiar with the movies themselves.
 
Yoda has said many things that resonate with the truth as it has been shared in the Thunder books by MSI. And I am certain, that should Yoda stumble upon the Thunder books, he would smile and chuckle and perhaps say something like, “Hmmm… Very well written, the book is… Very strong, in this writer the Force is…”
 
Specifically there is a quote in the Second Thunder book that I am certain would have Yoda´s attention. The quote is as follows:
 
”Never in pride rely solely on your own strength. Help will come when you need it, even when least deserved, if you but allow it. Be receptive to the good flowing to you always.”
 
Rodavi, an enlightened Master himself, said this to Gana as a parting gift and urged him to remember it well, for it is both a blessing and a warning. This particular quote is then reiterated a few more times throughout the book, in various situations and by various Masters. The Truth never changes and the Teacher repeats it as long as it takes for the student to gain true understanding.
 
Yoda is fully familiar with that – having had students himself and having had to repeat himself many a time… even seeing that the student is most likely not going to listen very well, as was the case with Gana.

MSI wrote in one of his books, that for the enlightened it is a constant thrill to connect with another enlightened mind. For this reason, I am most certain that Yoda would be chuckling to himself as he reads through the Thunder books; and maybe a bystander could hear him say: “Ah…Tricky, the Master is.”
