description: This is the story of a man who lived as every great religion has taught us to live - with a heart full of love, a life dedicated to serving others, and a spirit absorbed in the Divine. It is the story of a man who changed thousands of lives. It is the story of a man who offered a vision for transforming the planet into an enlightened world. For hundreds who met and knew him, the time they spent with him remains the high water mark of their lives. He created a space in which people felt free to be, to experiment with letting the Divine direct their lives. Those who did so almost invariably found themselves and their worlds changing for the better. Burdens were lifted. Relationships became smoother. Those with dormant artistic abilities began creating a new type of music, a new type of poetry, a new type of painting. His legacy is in the lives he touched and in his teachings and in the love of which he gave so abundantly. After he passed away, it was remarkable how many people said, "He was my truest friend" and "I owe him my life" and "Whenever I think about it, I'm still blown away. He gave me everything. I know I can handle anything." He was an example of what is within each of us, an example of the essence of who we are - generous, loving, attuned to the Divine. He showed that when we get on with being the Divinity within us, great things happen. In his case, the proof is in the thousands of lives he touched. He favored the word "Fantastic!" to express his feelings about God and about the magnificent Divinity in each one of us. "You are fantastic!" he would say, speaking not to your ego, but to that spectacular Divinity he saw within you. Fantastic! is the story of this man, James V. Goure, who believed in you. You may not have ever met him, but he would have believed in you and would have known that your essential nature is Divine and would have loved you no matter who you were or what you said or did. This book was written to help you tune into that spirit - and thereby tune into your own Divinity.
