This book was recommended to me and I'm only 22 pages in, but it has already changed my life. It has clarified things I've sensed but not fully understood recently, and provided effective new ways to see the universe that I never considered.
I'll summarize an example here, which may include some of my own thoughts, which, if not fully explained, don't worry, the book doesn't (yet) go *quite* so deep and you can enjoy it on many levels:
1. The universe, made of particles/waves as we now know, is, in essence, made of light. "Matter is frozen light," somebody once explained.
2. Jesus tells the author that the essence of her being is love.
3. Therefore, it follows that love = light = the highest truth of everything. In other words, if you could really see how things are, you would automatically love them.
Okay, as I try to relate all this, I'm seeing how much of my own thoughts and experience are woven into it. Continuing...
4. If our world and experience are simply made of passing light shaped into concrete form, then it can change immediately. If our perceptions are the main factor holding "things" in place, then a changed perspective can allow circumstances to change quickly and dramatically.
5. No wonder there's a sensation of expansion when things heal. Because as Einstein's E=mc2 explains, the creation of knowledge creates more matter as well to balance the equation. If that's not clear, don't worry, there's more background than I care to explain for that, but for those of you know know what I'm talking about, it's a very cool & useful idea.
6. If the world is, again, shaped by passing light, that explains the most abundant possible perspective. There's always plenty of potential for everything we need, we just need to learn how to allow that to happen.
7. The book explains several excellent point of how to let that happen, such as starting with the heart, because the brain has to work extra hard to fix negative signals that originate in the heart, and it never actually solves the problem, it just struggles to compensate.
I've probably given the wrong impression by explaining this stuff. The book is somewhat more simple and explains things better, more slowly, but I'm not going to type the whole thing here, so you'll have to check it out for yourself! In short, I like it, I find it insightful and useful, and I recommend it.
I haven’t quite finished the book and I’m less of a fan than when I began. Yes, it has some rather interesting and useful points, but overall it’s so dense and theoretical that it didn’t seem as easily applied to life as, say, Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul
, which I read last week and loved.
