The Responsive Universe

Almost a decade ago, I wrote a self-published work which I affectionately called The Sixth Tier, A Handbook to Enlightenment. It was comprised of six chapters which focused on various ways to search and find Self-Actualization in a world of indifference. I did get an offer from a small independent publisher but decided to have it self-published instead. I was hesitant to accept the publishing offer for several reasons. First, I was going to have to sign away the rights of a book that I put my heart and soul in. Secondly, I was not finished with the whole body of work – I knew deep down this was not my best foot forward; there was room for improvement. Due to the pressures of ego and other false perceptions, I rushed the entire writing process. There are many good elements to The Sixth Tier, but it was not a completion of the process – it did not reflect my life’s work. Thus, at the end of The Sixth Tier I wrote, “To be continued”.

Since 2002, I have studied Buddhism extensively and I have continued to put to work the many ideas and concepts found in my first published effort. Nine years later, I have emerged as a much more complete person. I have challenged my false self and settled into a new-found notion of True Nature – an unwavering energy found within that is driven by a Quantum Universe. Over the years I have toyed with new ideas and wrestled with old philosophical quandaries. About four months ago a new-found inspiration encircled me. I began to rewrite The Sixth Tier as it should have been written nine years ago. I am proud to introduce my latest endeavor: The Responsive Universe – Meditations and Daily Life Practice.

We have always lived in a Responsive Universe; one that defines our connection with humanity and the Cosmos: From which all energy and forms arise. Within these new pages are powerful words, meditative techniques and daily life practices that will help the reader find happiness in a world of mediocrity. We all have within our grasp the ability to wield the power of God as it relates to the Universe. Coupled with Buddhist ideals and new world philosophy, The Responsive Universe will lead the reader into the world of self-discovery focusing on issues of ego, karma and a complete deconstruction of organized religion. By following the creative and insightful daily life practices, you will learn to be free from fear and ego with a spacious new vision of your true self: A new vision bathed under the liberating light of Self-Actualization and Enlightenment.

Earlier this month I dotted the last period on the last sentence of the last paragraph. I am now actively pursuing an independent firm to professionally edit and publish The Responsive Universe. I hope to have good news in the coming months.
