CONTENTS
Through the rise and fall of empires, through the creation of vast bodies of symbols that give shape to our dreams; through the forging of magic keys with which to unlock the mysteries of creation... through it all we are marching from epoch to epoch towards the fullest realization of our soul.
Yes, we are coming, the pilgrims, one and allcoming to our true inheritance of the world, we are ever broadening our consciousness, ever seeking a higher and higher unity; ever approaching nearer to the one universal truth which is the Allcomprehensive all embracing.
RABINDRANATH TAGORE, 18611941
The gap is an exquisite place! Its a place where miracles occur. The gap is owned by everyone on this planet. Its yours to enter at will. What awaits you in the gap is the experience of activating the higher human dimensions of insight, intuition, creativity, and peak performance; as well as coming to know relaxation, enchantment, bliss, and the peace of making conscious contact with God.
As you begin reading this short book and listening to the meditation download that accompanies it and begin the practice of going into the gap, keep uppermost in your mind that you can enter this glorious gap between your thoughts at any moment you choose. (Download .) The power of the gap is available to you in the midst of a business meeting, at the dinner table while engaged in a heated discussion, on the 18th tee of a long day on the golf course, or even while riding on a crowded bus.
