Book Living a Safe Universe

Download or read book Living a Safe Universe written by Lynda Madden Dahl and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts, tells us, “You live in a safe universe.” He also reminds us we create our own realities through our mental acts. Which means while we live in a safe universe, we don’t always live a safe universe, because we don’t always safely create within it. What does it take to live a safe universe? There is only one answer—Trust. After years of focused effort, Lynda Madden Dahl, award-winning author of five Seth-based books and co-founder of Seth Network International, found a path within the material—not obvious at first, but there nonetheless—that resolves all trust issues, if one is but willing to try. “Lynda takes the reader deep into the heart of Seth's teachings, and one emerges with a new vision and understanding of concepts that will transform one's personal world, and thus the world in general. Highly recommended for all Seth readers who wish to take Seth’s material to a whole new level.” — Rich Kendall, author of The Road to Elmira, member of Jane Roberts’ ESP Class “I love this book. Living a Safe Universe brings us to a new understanding of the Seth material, and how to apply this understanding to trust. Lynda drives home the point that we are primarily consciousness which exists in the spacious present, as opposed to being an ego in time, and then explains why that fact changes the playing field entirely.” — Lawrence Davidson, member of Jane Roberts’ ESP class, founder of California Seth Conference

Book Living a Safe Universe  Vol  2

Download or read book Living a Safe Universe Vol 2 written by Lynda Madden Dahl and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Says Lynda Madden Dahl: “In Living a Safe Universe, the predecessor to this Seth/Jane Roberts-based book, I told of how I had come to finally trust my self, which translates into living safely in my reality. This book stresses a focused application of that knowledge as it applies to the spacious present’s simultaneous time and moment point. Its purpose is to deepen our trust in all aspects of personal reality creation by learning to consciously direct and use the moment point to our great advantage. “In essence, we’re talking about further expansion into a more confident, balanced, assured whole self, one which fully understands its strengths. We’re talking about going beyond where we are today, much deeper into our potential as consciousness in camouflage physical form, much deeper into self-trust and the freedom and safety it engenders.” “Lynda invites us to journey with her in learning to use our power in the moment in practical and magical ways. She proceeds with great enthusiasm, confidence, and optimism – and encourages us to do the same. As usual, Lynda picks out the most important concepts in the Seth material, summarizes them crisply, expresses them clearly, and challenges us to use them – not just daily, but in the moment. Her goal is as simple as it is profound: living in the moment point engenders self-trust and living in a safe universe. We become, in her phrase, ‘Home Free At Last!’” — Don Middendorf, Ph.D., Professor of Physics and Conscious-ness Studies at The Evergreen State College “In Living a Safe Universe, Vol. 2, Lynda once again shares her unique insights on Seth’s message and teachings. Her perspectives provide an exceptional illustration of how we can take command of the moment point, enhance our framework of trust, and truly live a safe universe. Building on the foundation of volume 1, it is highly recommended for Seth readers seeking to expand their understanding about how to live confidently with self-trust.” — Michael Steffen, Co-Founder of the current Seth Network International, Board Member of the original SNI

Book Living a Safe Universe  Vol  3

Download or read book Living a Safe Universe Vol 3 written by Lynda Madden Dahl and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynda Madden Dahl: In Living a Safe Universe, Vols. 1 and 2, predecessors to this, my seventh of eight Seth/Jane Roberts-based book, I talk about my journey into trust and safety via a specifically identified path of Sethian knowledge and an in-depth use of the moment point within simultaneous time. Here we ll broaden our knowledge of the safe universe even further with the introduction of Framework 2 and the greater reality from which all other frameworks spring. With this further knowledge, we ll see more clearly our role and participation in the safe universe and what it means to both our private creations as well as those shared with others. And most importantly, we will sense with even deeper understanding our intrinsic safety as an inviolate portion of All That Is, leading us to a freedom of thought and action unparalleled in today s world. BOOK REVIEWS BY SETH READERS: Lynda s three volumes of Living a Safe Universe are a true tour de force through the Seth concepts, and offer even the long-time Seth reader a new perspective on the material and a great motivation to finally shift from a theoretical to a practical level of understanding. The selected Seth quotes and Lynda s comments present a captivating mix that not only lead deeper into Seth s philosophy, but trigger a comprehension that is a prerequisite for a successful implementation of Seth s ideas into one s life. Lynda herself is a great teacher and true ambassadress for the Seth Material Maurizio Vogrig, Co-Founder of Seth-Verlag, the Swiss Seth Publishing House; Board Member of the Swiss & German Seth Association This is a wonderful book Lynda loves every word of the Seth Material and it shows. As with Living a Safe Universe, Vols. 1 & 2, this one is another thrilling, comprehensive book, the result of deep commitment, intense study, and a loving desire to share practical applications of Seth s material as broadly as possible with readers both new and returning. Lynda has a positive genius for presenting Seth and Jane s pioneering ideas vibrantly and in a crystal clear format. Katharine Andrews, Ph.D., Counseling & Clinical Psychology; Former Seth Network International Editor of the Magazine Reality Change: The Global Seth Journal The Seth Material is the most comprehensive, detailed and awe-inspiring overview of reality available, and Lynda is far and away the leading scholar, lecturer and interpreter of the material. In this third book of her Living a Safe Universe series, she takes us behind the logic of creation, to reveal how it all comes together and how we can apply this knowledge to stop creating out of fear and, instead, live in a safe, loving and supportive universe. All Seth readers owe Lynda a huge debt of gratitude for this timely and profound insight into the Seth Material." Ian French, Poet, Musician and Practicing Idealist Lynda has once again demonstrated that she has masterfully grasped the complexities of the Seth Material. In Living a Safe Universe, Vol. 3, she has organized and presented the information into a concise and readily understandable and useable format. She makes a difficult job seem easy I thoroughly enjoyed having my mind boggled and my world view once again expanded by reading it. Bob Terrio, Video Producer/Director of The Seth Phenomena, SethNet 97, and Other Seth Video Programs"

Book Living a Safe Universe  Vol  4

Download or read book Living a Safe Universe Vol 4 written by Lynda Madden Dahl and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK REVIEWS BY SETH READERS: Lynda Madden Dahl s masterful capacity for interpreting and applying the Seth principles has no equal, and she illustrates that with startling clarity in this fourth book of her Living a Safe Universe series. With her fantastic ability to break down the intellectual density of the Seth material, Lynda articulates essential elements into a straightforward series of easy to read points, with the emphasis on psychic health. Through highlighting the fundamental need to recognize our oneness with our whole self and the necessity of having faith and trust in that knowledge, Lynda describes in simple but practical terms the basis of how to use our energy to create enlightened constructions. Ejay Jamb, Australia: Creator and Online Administrator for Seth Network Australia "Lynda Madden Dahl has produced another remarkable addition to her Living a Safe Universe series. In this volume, Lynda explains further the Sethian enigma that, despite seeming evidence to the contrary, we actually live in a completely safe universe." Joseph Mancini, Jr.: Ph.D., CCHt., M.S.O.D., M.S.W., Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist; Author of forthcoming book, Explorations in Consciousness: The Past Lives Series Words cannot be found to describe the contribution Lynda Madden Dahl has made to the expansion of Seth s message. She moved it out of theoretical into practical application in her own life first, living all aspects of it. Then she went on to unify those concepts she personally had focused on into a series of four Living a Safe Universe books, illustrating how the concepts overlap into a coherent and stunning safety, with its basis in trust. Real Bernier, Canada: Graduate, Universite Laval; former Mathematics Professor, Cegep de Rimouski Volume 4 is the perfect progression from the previous books of this series. We are now invited by Lynda to think differently about who we are and how we function. She carefully draws together, and then breaks apart, key Seth information to help the reader really see, feel, and understand the collective components of the whole self. Through a series of carefully constructed bullet points, statements, and exercises, Lynda instantly expands our true self out of the confines of physical constructs and linear-time reality, carefully guiding us until, like walking through our bedroom door into a vast cathedral space of possibilities, we deeply sense a complete and renewed wellbeing a new whole self reality. Richard J W Gentle, England: Conscious Explorer; Author of What Do You Think?; What Ever You Think; Being Well Long-time Seth readers and new Seth readers alike can rejoice in yet another sensational book within the Living a Safe Universe series, written by the great Seth explorer, Lynda Madden Dahl. The complexities, beauty, multi-dimensionality and power of who we truly are come together in this masterpiece. Through a deeper understanding of our whole self, Lynda shows us that psychic health is a state of oneness, a transformation of our whole belief system into a conscious one that mirrors the all-encompassing power of who we are and, by default, leads to living a safe universe. And it doesn t get better than that Jane French, Canada: Northern Lights Direct; Executive Vice President, Operations & Partner"

National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Award winner Charles Yu delivers his debut novel, a razor-sharp, ridiculously funny, and utterly touching story of a son searching for his father . . . through quantum space–time. Minor Universe 31 is a vast story-space on the outskirts of fiction, where paradox fluctuates like the stock market, lonely sexbots beckon failed protagonists, and time travel is serious business. Every day, people get into time machines and try to do the one thing they should never do: change the past. That’s where Charles Yu, time travel technician—part counselor, part gadget repair man—steps in. He helps save people from themselves. Literally. When he’s not taking client calls or consoling his boss, Phil, who could really use an upgrade, Yu visits his mother (stuck in a one-hour cycle of time, she makes dinner over and over and over) and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. Accompanied by TAMMY, an operating system with low self-esteem, and Ed, a nonexistent but ontologically valid dog, Yu sets out, and back, and beyond, in order to find the one day where he and his father can meet in memory. He learns that the key may be found in a book he got from his future self. It’s called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and he’s the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could help him—in fact it may even save his life. Wildly new and adventurous, Yu’s debut is certain to send shock waves of wonder through literary space–time.

  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book A Universe from Nothing written by Lawrence M. Krauss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?” One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end. Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.

In that connection, we can be guided to our true purpose: to be love and spread love. These words can no longer be cute buzz phrases that we merely post on social media.

The happiness, safety, and security we long for lies in our commitment to love. ” When readers follow this path, they ’ll begin to feel a swell of energy move through them. They will find strength when they are down, synchronicity and support when they ’re lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy when they are otherwise in pain.

  • Release : 2018-11-13
  • ISBN : 1538729385
  • Pages : 164 pages

Download or read book Out There written by Michael Wall and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of Randall Munroe's What If? meets Brian Green's Elegant Universe, a senior writer from Space.com leads readers on a wild ride of exploration into the final frontier, investigating what's really "out there." We've all asked ourselves the question. It's impossible to look up at the stars and NOT think about it: Are we alone in the universe? Books, movies and television shows proliferate that attempt to answer this question and explore it. In Out There Space.com senior writer Dr. Michael Wall treats that question as merely the beginning, touching off a wild ride of exploration into the final frontier. He considers, for instance, the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth (an eventuality which, top NASA officials told Wall, is only drawing closer). What would the first aliens we meet look like? Would they be little green men or mere microbes? Would they be found on a planet in our own solar system or orbiting a star far, far away? Would they intend to harm us, and if so, how might they do it? And might they already have visited? Out There is arranged in a simple question-and-answer format. The answers are delivered in Dr. Wall's informal but informative style, which mixes in a healthy dose of humor and pop culture to make big ideas easier to swallow. Dr. Wall covers questions far beyond alien life, venturing into astronomy, physics, and the practical realities of what long-term life might be like for we mere humans in outer space, such as the idea of lunar colonies, and even economic implications. Dr. Wall also shares the insights of some of the leading lights in space exploration today, and shows how the next space age might be brighter than ever./DIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an astonishing unfurling of our universe, Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes celebrate the birth of every child. Before the universe was formed, before time and space existed, there was . . . nothing. But then . . . BANG! Stars caught fire and burned so long that they exploded, flinging stardust everywhere. And the ash of those stars turned into planets. Into our Earth. And into us. In a poetic text, Marion Dane Bauer takes readers from the trillionth of a second when our universe was born to the singularities that became each one of us, while vivid illustrations by Ekua Holmes capture the void before the Big Bang and the ensuing life that burst across galaxies. A seamless blend of science and art, this picture book reveals the composition of our world and beyond — and how we are all the stuff of stars.

Book Our Own Private Universe

Download or read book Our Own Private Universe written by Robin Talley and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old Aki Simon has a theory. And it's mostly about sex. No, it isn't that kind of theory. Aki already knows she's bisexual—even if, until now, it's mostly been in the hypothetical sense. Aki has dated only guys so far, and her best friend, Lori, is the only person who knows she likes girls, too. Actually, Aki's theory is that she's got only one shot at living an interesting life—and that means she's got to stop sitting around and thinking so much. It's time for her to actually do something. Or at least try. So when Aki and Lori set off on a church youth-group trip to a small Mexican town for the summer and Aki meets Christa—slightly older, far more experienced—it seems her theory is prime for the testing. But it's not going to be easy. For one thing, how exactly do two girls have sex, anyway? And more important, how can you tell if you're in love? It's going to be a summer of testing theories—and the result may just be love.

Download or read book One Universe written by Charles Tsun-Chu Liu and published by Joseph Henry Press. This book was released on 1999-12-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new window opens onto the cosmos... Almost every day we are challenged by new information from the outermost reaches of space. Using straightforward language, One Universe explores the physical principles that govern the workings of our own world so that we can appreciate how they operate in the cosmos around us. Bands of color in a sunlit crystal and the spectrum of starlight in giant telescopes, the arc of a hard-hit baseball and the orbit of the moon, traffic patterns on a freeway and the spiral arms in a galaxy full of stars--they're all tied together in grand and simple ways. We can understand the vast cosmos in which we live by exploring three basic concepts: motion, matter, and energy. With these as a starting point, One Universe shows how the physical principles that operate in our kitchens and backyards are actually down-to-Earth versions of cosmic processes. The book then takes us to the limits of our knowledge, asking the ultimate questions about the origins and existence of life as we know it and where the universe came from--and where it is going. Glorious photographs--many seen for the first time in these pages--and original illustrations expand and enrich our understanding. Evocative and clearly written, One Universe explains complex ideas in ways that every reader can grasp and enjoy. This book captures the grandeur of the heavens while making us feel at home in the cosmos. Above all, it helps us realize that galaxies, stars, planets, and we ourselves all belong to One Universe.

One wave: that’s all it takes for the rest of Mae and Hannah Winters’ lives to change. When a tsunami strikes the island where their parents are vacationing, it soon becomes clear that their mom and dad are never coming home. Forced to move to Boston from sunny California for the rest of their senior year, each girl struggles with secrets their parents’ death has brought to light, and with their uncertainty about the future.

The pain pills she stole from her dead father hurl her onto the shores of an addiction she can’t shake and a dealer who turns her heart upside down. When it’s clear Hannah’s drowning, Mae, a budding astronaut suddenly launched into an existential crisis—and unexpected love—must choose between herself and the only family she has left.

  • Pages : 340 pages

Download or read book Cosmic Jackpot written by Paul Davies and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cosmic Jackpot is Paul Davies’s eagerly awaited return to cosmology, the successor to his critically acclaimed bestseller The Mind of God. Here he tackles all the "big questions," including the biggest of them all: Why does the universe seem so well adapted for life? In his characteristically clear and elegant style, Davies shows how recent scientific discoveries point to a perplexing fact: many different aspects of the cosmos, from the properties of the humble carbon atom to the speed of light, seem tailor-made to produce life. A radical new theory says it’s because our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes, each one slightly different. Our universe is bio-friendly by accident -- we just happened to win the cosmic jackpot. While this "multiverse" theory is compelling, it has bizarre implications, such as the existence of infinite copies of each of us and Matrix-like simulated universes. And it still leaves a lot unexplained. Davies believes there’s a more satisfying solution to the problem of existence: the observations we make today could help shape the nature of reality in the remote past. If this is true, then life -- and, ultimately, consciousness -- aren’t just incidental byproducts of nature, but central players in the evolution of the universe. Whether he’s elucidating dark matter or dark energy, M-theory or the multiverse, Davies brings the leading edge of science into sharp focus, provoking us to think about the cosmos and our place within it in new and thrilling ways.
