I am a staunch fundamentalist preacher's daughter. I thought at an early age that I was taught not to think, but just to have faith. I've had a long road since I left home.  Yet my roots travel with me. It seems that if I can get out of the box of what I was taught to think, and really contemplate the words of this master from long ago, that he is saying things that I have come to believe are true.My father believed very strongly in the supernatural, and loved to talk about it. Tales like the author tells. I always felt like a dunce. Now a lifetime later, I have had my own supernatural episodes that resonate with this author's experience. I too had a dream where a tall blue-eyed blonde man came to me when I was very worried about my son and told me that my son would be ok, that they had plans for him. In the dream we were on an airplane heading east. It is 15 years later, my son is great, and lives out east.I have had many dream experiences where I knew I was dreaming, but that the reality I was in was real, and in those dreams I could fly effortlessly.  On another occasion, I was woken up by a dream that shook me to the core. A blonde woman with blue eyes was speaking to me from a grave and she looked directly into my eyes and said. WAKE UP. WAKE UP Now. The phone call that woke me up was my physician telling me to go to the hospital immediately.  I knew both from the call and the dream that it was a matter of life and death. I went.This author is calling us to WAKE UP and WAKE UP NOW!  Willis Harman, a futurist used to talk about a cultural hypnosis that we all walked around in. I am only now beginning to realize what he meant. I have come to understand that my greatest limits are those in which I cannot believe is possible.  I am finding that as soon as I believe something is possible, I can do it. This book helps shudder the ground of this hypnosis.I have come to believe that part of the cultural hypnosis is how I have interpreted the bible.  This author opens the book with a quote that I heard a great deal as a child, but never understood. Christianity still tells us it is not the miracles that we would be able to do. The author sharply differs. I remember wondering what Jesus meant when he said (King James Bible John 14:12:"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do."This is a book that really invites us to shake loose from historical thinking and ask who was this man Jesus, and what was he teaching us?  If we had implemented his teachings by now, would we not have evolved enormously?  Would we not be living heaven on earth as the author asks? I'm with you girl!  There is mass hubris of our puny human consciousness in thinking that we know so much better than this master; that we still cling to the typical understandings.  To write this review, I went looking exactly for the words that she opens the book with. Which led me to one very potent thing Jesus said."If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Mark 9:23Seems to me that this author is just inviting us to believe that all things are possible. What a novel idea! Join this new awareness. See what is possible. Read this book and feel the wave that humanity is collectively cresting upon.
