(Hard Cover Edition): The Universe is big, cold, violent, and doomed. What could be reassuring about this? Welcome on a voyage through a universe of personal relevance, potential, and purpose. Your voyage will cross the blank space on the map between science and spirit. Can these words even appear at peace together? Surely our intellect and our heart must remain locked in combat for our loyalty; surely intelligence precludes faith and education exorcises belief. Entering the temple, church, or mosque you have to check your brain at the door; entering the laboratory or university you have to check your soul at the door. Invoking quantum mechanics, the holographic universe, relativity, string theory, M theory, multiple dimensions, alternative universes, dark matter, dark energy, and virtual particles, Part I of The Reassuring Universe unveils the surprising spiritual potential and personal relevance of modern science. Does modern science make room for spirit and soul, even God and eternal life? Part II examines repeating patterns in evolution of the universe, life, and humanity. Is humanity, and are we as individuals, still subject to these evolving patterns? Do our most personal joys and grief reflect the role of our life within those universal patterns? Can we even find hints of the meaning of life and purpose of life in the weaving together of the universal patterns of science and the deepest experiences of heart? Part III reveals a seamless Oneness and nonduality in the structure of the universe as described by science. That science-based nonduality is then rendered deeply and personally relevant for your daily life. Your tour of The Reassuring Universe unfolds in full color through photographs of the cosmos and images of the human condition. The Reassuring Universe invokes quotes from a broad spectrum of traditions, with Brian Greene (author of The Elegant Universe) and the Bhagavad-Gita sharing space with Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian sources.

If you own a bible you will want a copy of this book. It is the most amazing Bible study ever. The secrets of our future God hid in Daniel and the Great Pyramid R unsealed. This is no new age mumbo jumbo but a hard hitting and fast Study of our future. The door is unlocked and our future is laid out in bold detail. You will be astonished as events in 1844, 1614, 1607 and 1620 take on new meaning. God also points to our future 1994, 2001, 2014, 2018, 2024, 2040, 2041, 2044 and 3044 are all given forecasts that tell us the season we are in. The unsealing of these facts proves the end of the age is here NOW Further the season of Judgment started in 1994. Hopefully America will come out of judgment in 2024 but nuclear war will come first. Do Not Sit a Queen. The words of Jesus are used to tell us specifically what events we should prepare for and a warning is given for those that delay preparation. Only God knows the future and here it is revealed to the world. The book starts by showing how events of the past re-occur with mathematical precision. And thereby forecast our future. The book proves when God says the End of the Age will occur. By unsealing the timing in Daniel, Ezekiel and the Great Pyramid at Giza. The Great Pyramid is given a recalibration and thereby our future is forecast in stark precise detail. The book shows that the world will enter the Judgment of the Living on August 18th 2018. And the end of the age comes twenty three years later. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING BIBLE STUDY EVER. You will be blown away as the author was as the secrets of the sarcophagus stone are revealed. This astounding prediction is just one of many this book forecasts. 2014 will be a pivotal year for the whole globe, if you survive the famine that has already started. The author pulls no punches as forecasts are given by the bible for our country and our national leaders. The immediate future may seem bleak but we are told that we should celebrate as evil is destroyed. While one America is going down another is rising. May we all get on this rising band wagon. The book ends with a quote from George Washington that proves the future is bright. And thus ends on a positive note. May we all prepare and change our ways that we may be approved to pass into the next millennium. The future is here NOW It is a mystery why these secrets have been hidden for so long. As they are revealed it will be apparent that they could have been revealed at any time but God has chosen this time and this proves that the end is NOW God is preparing and so should you. He will return very soon as a thief in the night. Will you be ready? This is the warning of the WATCHMEN. This may be the last warning you receive as the hour is so late that the next warning may be at the last hour and there will be little time to warn so many, such that few will hear the warning at the last hour. Prepare now before it is too late. The Lord God of Heaven is preparing to make his grand entrance. If you do not prepare, you will not make it. God is merciful but no action on your part will result in no action on God's part and you will fall victim to the whiles of Satan. As Satan is the administrator of the final Judgment on the world. God maintains a trump card but Satan must overstep for God to pull it out. Will you stand in glory or in shame as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is seen on the clouds of Glory. Give God his seat of Authority, your Heart.

We know too much to believe, too much of science and suffering, genes and genocides, DNA and disasters. Old answers and even old questions seem irrelevant. But still we want to understand, though understand we know not what. The time has come again, that ancient time of wrenching change.As Aztec gods burned at the hands of the Spanish, as telescopes and microscopes unmasked the facades of myth and magic, again our gods fall. The shiny baubles of possessions that have held our transfixed attention, as a dangling mobile entrances the infant in a crib, are torn down by our own greedy grasp.The sparkling trophy-houses and SUV's, the hedge funds and stock derivatives, lie shattered on the floor. We stand in the crib of this world, look around at the gods and spiritual pacifiers lying on the floor, and realize we are left with...only each other...and the God revealed in the infant eyes peering through the bars of our individual cribs. Designed for the limited reading time of the modern lifestyle, the "moment for reading" format of Doubt & Reassurance weaves a continuous tapestry of deeply personal spiritual relevance by employing threads of bite-sized entries of thought provoking insight, encouragement, enlightenment, inspiration, and the occasional kick in the spiritual backside. With no institutional corner to call its own, Doubt & Reassurance calls to every corner, rattling liturgical cages and invoking surprising science. Doubt & Reassurance appeases the gnawing spiritual hunger of the modern world by addressing everyone's personal experience....the experience of the individual intellectually torn from their fundamentalist background by education; the orthodox atheist raised on science yet feeling an inexplicable sense that there must be more; the modern Asian on the way to their high tech job while commuting past the temples in which their family still worships...these diverse paths converge onto a commonly shared, universal human awareness of...?
