Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
At a young age, the totality and immensity of mans suffering revealed itself spontaneously as a massive, limitless comprehension. It was a shocking experience that resulted in a dedication to the relief of human suffering by all the means availablescience,philosophy, spirituality, neurochemistry, medicine, psychoanalysis, humor, psychiatry, teaching, and healing. The greatest modality of all, however, was given as a gift, and it is this understanding that is capable of healing the very basis of human suffering.
By grace, it is shared with the world with the hope that it will be the catalyst that dissolves some of the sources of human pain and suffering.
This endeavor is dedicated to being a servant of the Lord and therefore, of all mankind. It is with gratitude that the fit that was given is shared. The inspiration to write of what is contained herein came from the joy on the faces of those who heard the speaking of these things. It is by these writings and conversations that their love is returned.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The scope of this work is immense. It includes not only a detailed, subjective report of very advanced states of spiritual consciousness traditionally called enlightenment, but, for the first time, it correlates and recontextualizes spiritual information in such a manner as to make it comprehensible to reason and the intellect.
This correlation between science and spirituality represents a cohesive integration between the linear and the nonlinear dimensions. By transcending the opposites, the author resolves the ages-old, seemingly irresolvable conflict and impasse between science and religion, between materiality and spirituality, and between ego and spirit. This resolution then clarifies unresolved mysteries and dilemmas that have been with mankind throughout history. With the expansion of consciousness afforded by this work, questions answer themselves and truth becomes self-evident.
The style of presentation takes the reader back and forth from the linear to the nonlinear domains until, to ones surprise, the incomprehensible becomes not only comprehensible but also actually obvious.
The calibrated level of consciousness of those who have been exposed to this material has been experimentally documented and has shown considerable elevation and advancement. Power accomplishes without effort what force cannot do for it goes where force cannot follow.
This book is written for both the self and the Self of the reader. Although the traditional great obstacle to enlightenment called transcending the opposites of duality and nonduality may sound obscure, by the time one has finished the book, this critical awareness is self-resolving.
