“Whatever the level of consciousness or unconsciousness within us, and within anything in existence, everything revolves around the unmoving center of the Absolute. Stillness and rest are necessary after each moment of destruction for the seed of creation to germinate. Living the ongoing cycle of life and death, stillness and creation, consciousness and unconsciousness, is the essence of existence.”

” You are the key to keeping the flow of abundance open, and restoring people’s confidence in the future. If you take “right actions” to keep your energy directed toward conscious living and business practices, provide visionary leadership to all you know and actively focus on the positive (instead of the negative) aspects of everything, you can be a force for guiding yourself, your family and the world at large back to experiencing balance, abundance and prosperity. You are the person who can create and direct the united flow of energy toward manifesting and consciously creating the future.”

When he was in his thirties, Gay Hendricks was asked one simple questions that changed the course of his life; now he gives readers of all ages and backgrounds that same simple questions, and shows how answering it can lead to wealth, wisdom, and a joyful, fulfilled life. Trapped at a cocktail party he didn’t want to be, author Gay Hendricks met a stranger. Deciding that they both hated small talk, they jumped right into life’s deeper questions. This perfect stranger asked Gay to imagine that when his is on his deathbed, five years from now or fifty years from now, the man would come by and ask him, “Was your life a complete success?” Gay would either say yes or no… A chance meeting. Deep questions and a little prodding from a friend Neale Donald Walsch have produced a short, suprisingly simple process that readers can use to jumpstart the power within.

” While scientists may labor away toward the goal of a comprehensive “Theory of Everything,” Lazlo and Currivan sound they’re getting close — CosMos presents an all inclusive cosmology that starts with the birth of the universe and continues up to our current time and the evolutionary shift that is upon us now. If it sounds like the authors are getting ahead of themselves, or the scientists, it’s because they are taking the broader view, compiling many different research studies — more than any one scientist could focus on — and coming up with startling results.”

“As your awareness of the silent and still gaps between experiences strengthens, you stop identifying with the changing ups and downs, and your consciousness starts to take root in the gaps. When you experience a peak, you will know, even before the next moment arrives, that a valley will be coming.
