Tara L. Robinsons The Ultimate Risk is a spiritual navigational
guidebook that illuminates the sacred path for those willing to take the
adventurous journey of self-discovery. With the turn of every page I felt
as if I was being magically guided and supported on a sacred quest to
rediscover and reconnect with the essence and truth of who I am.

Linda Joy, publisher of Aspire magazine and best-selling

Tara artfully coaxed me along a special path of awakening, enabling me to
cross the threshold into my long-forgotten temple of inner peace. What I have
gained from her wisdom far outweighs what I have chosen to leave behind.
Taking The Ultimate Risk was worth it!

American Heart Association National Physician of the Year, 2002

The Ultimate Risk is a masterful guide to recovering, rediscovering,
and reawakening to the magnificence of being that has been there all along.
The one condition to rediscovery as outlined in this amazing book is that you,
the reader, are willing and ready to go deeper than you ever have before.
Do ityoure worth it.

It was as if a veil had been lifted, as though I was awakening from a deep slumber, and immediately I was flooded with relief and joy. I felt like Neo, the character in the movie The Matrix. I had somehow escaped the programming of the Matrix and was now standing on the other side.

As I regained my balance, all at once I understood the secrets of the universe. I realized that everything I had thought was real... wasnt. A thousand truths tumbled in at once, and I remembered what I had known as a child:

Life is designed especially for me and is speaking to me in every moment.
