Steve Jobs, the celebrity founder of Apple, was known for his vision, creativity and passion; less known is what drove his life and this book on Steve Jobs’ biography focuses upon his spirituality from Law of Attraction’s perspective. The essence of Law of Attraction is: "like attracts like". It was mentioned by Napoleon Hill, had become the basis of the Abraham teachings with Ester and Jerry Hicks and made popular by Rhonda Byrne with “The Secret”. Cristina has had an interest in spirituality from an early age and has formed her own perspective from her various studies. Steve Jobs’ life as well as a few aspects of her own life provides a though provoking book written with great deal of insight and sensitivity, exemplifying Law of Attraction at work in our lives and the value each life offers, no matter “the settings”.

4. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste
it living someone else’s life. Don’t be
trapped by dogma – which is living with the
results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let
the noise of others’ opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important,
have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know
what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs

About The Author

6. Preface
You are about to embark on a
journey of a different perspective. You can
call it a spiritual journey, a journey of self-
improvement, a biography or plain fiction.
My intention with this book is to
share a perspective on life, a perspective
that would enhance worthiness and good
feelings for you, dear reader. Steve Jobs has
inspired me and we will be looking at his life
as well as aspects of my own life as a case
study, using the lens detailed in The
Premise to see how “like attracts like” or
the Law of Attraction affects our lives.
This “Think Different” perspective
does not intend to be scientific research,
but an entertaining experience of exploring
life through a certain filter.

7. You are way more than you perceive.
You are an Infinite Being who decided to
explore and define details in a contrasting
experience. Contrast gives birth to new
desires, to expansion, to refining all that is.
When computers first appeared, they were
made of separate pieces; the user needed
to know codes and the output was
rudimentary. From this was born the desire
to have more friendly computers,
integrated solutions, computers that could
be used without having to read a novel-
length instruction book in order to be able
to use them.
The desire gave birth to the dream,
and someone had considered that to be
possible. Every desire bears its completion;
the question is whether the dreamer
believes in the desire or not. Steve Jobs
pronounced possible many ideas that
others considered to be impossible and this

8. was his genius. His vision gathered around
ideas, people and materials that would
detail the most wonderful products we’ve
seen in technology.
My vision meets his, as I am
embarking on creating this e-book, which I
am “putting out there”! Thanks to
technology, vision, tools, virtual bookstores
and you, there is a meeting up in virtual
spaces and sharing of ideas that come way
more easily than it would have if I had to
cut a real tree, make a real book, hire a ship
to cross the oceans so that my book reaches
you.
Einstein: “All religions, arts and
sciences are branches of the same tree. All
these aspirations are directed toward
ennobling man's life, lifting it from the
sphere of mere physical existence and
leading the individual towards freedom.”
Moral Decay (1937)

9. Steve Jobs emerged from the very
root of the tree, being spiritual, artistic and
technical at the same time. He had indeed
ennobled man’s life and revolutionized six
industries: personal computers, animated
movies, music, phones, tablet computing
and digital publishing.
“The people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world are the
ones who do.”—Apple’s “Think Different”
commercial, 1997

The Grid
You came here with a grid, a set of
general intentions. You knew the eagerness
with which you came forth; the wellbeing,
the love, the preciousness of the life we
were about to embark upon.
This grid supersedes everything; it is
the very basis of our lives.
When the life you live generates a
grid that opposes your basic intended grid,
you don’t feel good. Innately you know that
you are supposed to feel good and life is
supposed to be easy and FUN.
When you align with the basic grid of
well-being, vibrating in response to your

11. inner balance, you get a deeper sense of
worthiness when you see the world around
you, the exterior circumstances and people
responding with details to what you’ve got
going on inside.
The word Grid is used here in terms
of layout, the pattern that gets filled in with
the details. In this book I speak of Steve
Jobs’ life grid, which can be understood in
terms of The Premise from the dawn of his
life. In fact from the dawn of everyone’s
life, mine included.
He has come to be known as a secure
man, confident in himself, in his abilities
and ideas, with trust in the good nature of
people as individuals, not having doubts
about his abundance, support and place in
this Universe. He appreciated and looked
for the same traits in others with whom he
interacted. This is obvious in his work
environment, in public and at home. Of

12. course, Law of Attraction provided the
match of his vibration.
Coming up with a life like that, you
can see how it was perfectly designed from
the beginning.
Parents
He was the biological son of two
young, educated people, each of whom
came from conservative families; the
mother, American Joanne Schieble, and the
father, Abdulfattah Jandali, from a rich
Syrian family. Having an affair with each
other was not the easiest thing and it took a
dose of rebellion to be together and have a
son. Steve’s biological roots have been of
intelligence, education and rebellion.

13. Pretty interesting deal, but that
would not have been the catalyst for
establishing the grid of confidence, stability
and superiority that Steve had going on!
The most important factor in
establishing these traits has been Steve’s
adoptive parents: middle-class people, in
love with each other and with a stable
family, willing to have this child and raise
him as if he were the product of their love.
Which he has been and they received his
love and respect throughout Steve’s life.
They provided him the material
stability and emotional confidence. He grew
up knowing he was smart, being allowed
and encouraged to do what he wanted,
being excused and justified in his actions,
no matter how “crazy” those actions would
have seemed to other people. Steve knew
he had his back covered and that he was
entitled to be who he really was.

14. While the common occurrence is that
the child submits to the pressure of the
adults, this was not the case with Steve
Jobs. He had learned from an early age to
trust himself, to count on the support and
guidance of those around him, no matter if
at times his behavior was not what others
would coin as appropriate.
Before he finished third grade his
father had begun to treat him as special,
and in his calm but firm manner he made it
clear that he expected the school to do the
same. “Look, it’s not his fault,” Paul Jobs
told the teachers, his son recalled. “If you
can’t keep him interested, it’s your fault.”
His parents never punished him for his
transgressions at school.” Walter Isaacson –
Steve Jobs
He only needed to be appropriate in
his own eyes and to listen to his inspiration.
Many times he underlined the importance

15. of listening to inner guidance, to listen to
your heart and inspiration, which seem to
know the best way toward a result.
He found a way not to fit in with
typical societal demands and that led him to
become a leader that brought great
contribution to society, allowing him the
freedom to create.
“I'm not a 62-year-old statesman
that's traveled around the world all his life.
So I'm sure that there was a situation when
I was 25 that if I could go back, knowing
what I know now, I could have handled
much better. And I'm sure I'll be able to say
the same thing when I'm 35 about the
situation in 1985. I can be very intense in
my convictions. And I don't know; all in all, I
kind of like myself and I'm not that anxious
to change.” Newsweek, Sep. 1985

16. […]Is that all there is to life? Here is
what Steve Jobs thinks about it:
“Death is the greatest invention of
life. I’m sure that life evolved without death
at first and found that without death, life
didn’t work very well. Because it didn’t
make room for the young, who didn’t know
how the world was 50 yrs ago, who saw it
as it is today, without any preconceptions
and dreams as it could be based on that.
Who are not satisfied based on the
accomplishments of previous years, but
who were dissatisfied because the current
state didn’t lived up to their ideals. Without
death there will be very little progress.” -
“Computerworld Information Technology
Awards Program” Interview, 1995
Steve’s understanding of cycles of life
is so impressive and soothing! He lived his
life without having to just get by, lived life
as fully as he chose, with joy and love. He

17. loved his family and he loved his work.
Work and family was what he loved and
that was pretty much enough for him. Well,
maybe some occasional dinners with
presidents, but he was just someone who
valued life and simplicity.
Although it might seem little on the
surface, there is just so much more! If you
apply The Premise to look at Steve’s
present and future then he is still among us,
sharing with those on a similar vibe, living
ever after … just like you and me. If we
understand this about the Premise, we
understand a lot: it just feels good to
imagine that the matter is mostly space,
that the particles are so far from one
another, vibrating at certain rates, visible
matter vibrating at a certain rate, non-
visible in at a higher rate, Source at the
highest rate. As the energy vibrates higher
and higher, through individualized streams

18. of personality because of our differences,
taking on some resistance to slow the
vibration and making it visible and
touchable for a while, then letting go of the
resistance and coming back into full
alignment with the whole of who we are;
how can someone disappear?
Steve is flowing NOW with us, those
whom resonate with him! While he was
physically focused he kept his spiritual life
private, showing to the physical world those
“insanely great products”.
What really mattered for Steve while
among us was his own relationship with
Source, the Vision and the Focus that
ultimately made those envisioned things
visible on Earth.
Now, because he cannot be
perceived by us through physical senses, he
flows with us through thoughts on the same
vibration, more subtle but more widely

19. available on what was and is at the basis of
his life and all our lives: now his sharing is
spiritual in nature.
The Premise links the beginning with
the end: we are so much more than it
appears! Most of our Being is non-physical
and we re-emerge, releasing all the
resistance, uniting fully with who we really
are. From there, we mingle and inspire
ideas to those who have vibration close
enough to feel, and whose minds are clear
enough to perceive beyond!
There is No END!
