The collective conciousness

February 14, 2009
Over the last twelve months we have seen the massive power of the collective conciousness when it works almost as a single entity based on fear - fear of recession. Scientists working at the frontiers of discivery in quantum physics are beginning to prove through repeatable experiments that thoughts are an electromagnetic energy and there is a field of electromagnetic energy we know as the collective conciousness that has been named "The Field" by leading physicists in this area.

Lynne McTaggart a well known author in the UK has written a book that is more accessible to the general public describing some of these amazing breakthroughs in scientific discovery.
The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe

She devotes a chapter to "The Healing Field". One experiment described using mental healing on a group of 96 patients with high blood pressure. Four of the healers were able to achieve a 92.3% improvement in the systolic blood pressure of the patients who received mental healing (power of thought) from these healers in particular. Lynne has been thorough in her reserch an cites 50 pages of references of scientific papers and studies.

A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws

I have just reread Dianna Cooper's book " A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws"

"If you drive on the raods without understanding the highway code you will have a confusing and difficult journey. When you learn and apply it your journey becomes safe and pleasant. There is also a code for life on Earth, whch Dianna Cooper reveals in this book."

The book is easy to read and understand all you have to do is learn and apply the spiritual highway code for life on Earth. I would thoroughly recommend it to all who are embarking on their spiritual journey.

Eckhart Tolle is another author delivering a similar message to many others. Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

Fans of Tolle may also enjoy "A New Earth -Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" which has reached No: 1 of the New York Times Paper Back Non-Fiction advice best sellers list. The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of NowWith his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now."

"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne

February 16, 2008

As the creator, author, and producer of The Secret in both the book and feature-length film versions, Rhonda Byrne’s intention is to empower all others to live a life of joy.


Australian, Rhonda Byrne is not the first to bring the information contained in "The Secret" to the public but she certainly has captured a world-wide audience and readership for her DVD and books. The books have been translated into Spanish and Turkish and the English version tops the New York Times best seller list for Hard Cover Advice.



The Law of Attraction and the art of manifestation have been written about and taught by many authors and speakers including Napolean Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" which was first published in 1937 and continues to be sold in bookshops today. Other authors to explore this theme include Dr Wayne Dyer "The Power of Intention", Bob Proctor "You were Born Rich, Wallace D Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich",Shakti Gawain "Creative Visualisation - Use the power of the mind to Create What you Want in Life", Sanaya Roman "Creating Money through Abundance".

Rhonda Byrne seems to have captured the right note to get the message of an abundant universe out to many more people worldwide.


In Australia, David Schirmer has developed a CD and DVD program called "How to Apply The Secret, Step by Step", in which he breaks the process down to 5 key areas. http://www.thesecret.com.au/

"The Appeal" by John Grisham
bookmark this at :: del.icio.us :: Digg it

John Grisham's latest has reached the Best Sellers List of Amazon.com and the New York Times.


"TheAppeal begins with the shocking conclusion to a lawsuit filed against Krane Chemical by Jeannette Baker, a young woman who lost her son and husband to cancer within eight months. The $41 million settlement is unprecedented, and Krane isn't taking it lightly. Jeannette is only one of hundreds of people in fictional Bowmore, Miss., who have been affected by Krane's decades of dumping toxic waste in what has come to be known as Cancer County USA.
If the chemical company doesn't get a reversal on appeal, future lawsuits on behalf of more than 160 cancer victims will drain its deep pockets, especially the gold-lined wallet of owner Carl Trudeau. He has vowed those "ignorant people" won't get a dime of his money.
Meanwhile, he's spending millions of his billions on his vapid trophy wife, junk art and most important, electing a limited-liability justice to the Mississippi Supreme Court who will deny Jeannette's monetary award on appeal.
As always, Grisham's depiction of the victims, their dedicated, flat-broke attorneys and the forces trying to erase Krane's liability are poignant and dead-on. The novel's conclusion is satisfying, somewhat grim, but nevertheless believable.
More than a novel, The Appeal is an exposé of how highly organized special-interest groups, loaded with cash, can manipulate the judicial system. It's Grisham's bully pulpit for reform.
"There's a lot of truth in this story," Grisham writes in an author's note. "As long as private money is allowed in judicial elections we will see competing interests fight for seats on the bench."
It's an easy leap from the fictional microcosm Grisham creates in The Appeal to real-world politics.
The timing of The Appeal, in the midst of the presidential primaries, makes it all the more compelling."
