My Time Most people live their lives on a day to day basis. Our planning calendar is booked for three to seven days in the future. We seldom take a step back and look at recent events in perspective. This book is intended to provide that perspective look at events that shaped the course of our lives. Only in retrospect do we realize the changes that have occurred and influenced events of our lives. This process might be compared to watching an "Old time silent movie." How strangely people dressed and acted in "those days." We get a sense of values and attitudes of that time. Then we see movies made during the 1930's. There is a difference - in dress, in automobiles, in the telephones seen in those movies. Customs have changed and attitudes have changed since those early silent movie days. This book links day to day living with the evolving events that impact our lives, shape attitudes and philosophies, as individuals, as states and nations. It has been said, "The only thing certain - is change."

With more than 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce these days, even the most confident couples find themselves battling the odds from time to time. Marital problems can arise in any marriage, and, while it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's also something that no one, no matter the situation, should ignore.

When caught early on, many marital problems can be resolved if couples seek help. Some relationships, however, are unsalvageable, and it is important for couples to realize when this is the case so that they can stop hurting each other and move on with their lives.

"The Marriage Exam" provides couples with the tools they need to assess the strength or weakness of their marriage so that they can determine whether or not they are headed for divorce. The empirically-based test included in this text will help them evaluate the severity of their problems and enable them to make informed decisions about what to do next.

Based on self reports from more than three hundred couples and counting, the marriage test has been proven to accurately describe current relationship statuses and help couples achieve meaningful results. It is a useful test to take not once, but consistently throughout your marriage.

Robert Wolfe is the author of several best selling books on nonduality, the perception of the undivided nature of life. He came to this perception on retreat in the redwood forests of California after intense study and meditation. Elementary Cloudwatching is the collection of his journal entries and writings during this time, most never before published. This hardcover edition also includes a color interior with 3 color images, including a piece of artwork by Robert and color typography. These are reflective, nature inspired essays, that inspire readers to look more closely at their everyday life, and the inherent wonder, and oneness, folded in apparently commonplace moments. It is also the personal inner memoir of a California original spiritual philosopher during a time of awakening.

Intriguing facts of the vastness and miraculous complexity of our universe, coupled with reports from scientists that inseparability is the fundamental nature of our existence. "Science of the Sages, " by the author of "One Essence" and "Living Nonduality" is a tour through the contemporary scientific view of the universe, from cosmology to subatomic particles, with an eye on its harmony with the conscious insight that has been the message of sages throughout human history. As Robert writes: Whether one looks out at the mysteries of a vast cosmos or narrows the view to the counterintuitive behavior of a subatomic particle, I would not be alone in maintaining that nonduality is the basic principle that explains the Whole-the "spirit" of what is "manifest in the laws of the Universe," to borrow a phrase from Einstein. While our comprehension has only been recent, what we're comprehending is an inseparable reality that is far more ancient than even man's earliest intuition of Oneness-and may be the producer of that very intuition.
