The Truth: What You Must Know Before December 21, 2012

Becoming the Director of your own Lucid Dream

As our planet as we know it seems to become more chaotic and self-destructive and wars rage and spring up in disparate places, we tend to embrace nihilism, not out of choice but out of lack of choices. Now with books and films and media specials addressing the once neglected attention toward ancient prophecies (from the Mayan Calendar, from the I Ching, and other ancient sources of wisdom) that the world as we know it will end on December 21, 2012, we can either bury our heads in the sand of `rational intelligence¿ or elect to open our minds to the potential that is within each of us. It is to this latter direction that Stephen Hawley Martin directs his book THE TRUTH: What You Must Know Before December 21, 2012.
Shedding the integument of modern scientific thought, of the concept of entropy, of the `rational¿ approach to the unknown phenomenon as psychics, channelers, visions, intuition, and the power of the mind as part of a Universal Mind instead of a small trapped thinking machine inside a corporal body that has a specific time on this planet, then dies, and becomes nothing ¿ all or many of which are shared by the majority of us ¿ is difficult if not perceived as impossible. The result is a life of self-centered involvement and a running race toward an end we wish to secure in order to leave something of ourselves (read money or possessions) as we complete our time on planet earth.
Martin shares his depth of knowledge and years of growth and experience with the `unknown¿ in a manner that is intelligent without becoming unapproachable, friendly without the need to dumb down his reading audience, and in doing so he opens windows/doors/vistas to life as many of us have never experienced it. This is not a book of magic in the medieval sense, but it is a book of attainable MAGIC for the growth of the individual fortunate enough to come upon this wise, immensely readable book. `¿there is only one mind. My mind, your mind. The Universal Mind. All of it is connected and all is one¿ ¿ `mystics have been saying this for millennia.¿ `Life/thought/mind not only does not occupy space, it transcends time.¿ He quotes many scholars and thinkers such as Edgar Cayce: ¿Spirit is the life, mind is the builder, and the physical is the result.¿ And as Martin expands on these words, `Thoughts are things that exist in spirit, and what exists in spirit will in time exist on a physical plane.¿
Martin leads the reader through this process of altering our perception of life and opening our minds to the enormity of possibilities that exist if we perceive and embrace the fact that all is One ¿ physical, knowledge as we define it, spiritual, and the rapturous unknown. He does not confine his discussion or hold his torch in the direction of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, atheism, Gnosticism or any of the myriad sects who proclaim to define the universe and the beginnings and order of that indefinable something. Instead he encourages us to discover the interaction of our conscious and subconscious minds and discover the rarefied air of reincarnation or returning to the oneness of the Universe. As he so elegantly states, `Eventually, the scientific community will reverse their currently held premise that matter gives rise to awareness, consciousness and intelligence and will turn that assumption on its head where it belongs.¿
`Life is a form of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed. Therefore life cannot be dest

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Based upon sources like the I Ching and the Mayan Calendar, it is believed that the world will end in the year 2012. It might or might not be caused by a physical catastrophe. Author and Internet talk show host of ¿The Truth About Life,¿ Stephen Hawley Martin believes that there will be a shift in consciousness. It is also possible that the people who have evolved and made a higher shift in consciousness will survive what is to come if it is to be a physical disaster. He extensively discusses the truth about life in this book to help us raise our own consciousness so that we can be a part of the great changes that are to come. It was totally refreshing for me to be able to read such a positively written, comprehensive discussion about raising my level of consciousness so that I can create this shift on my own. By doing so, I will find myself experiencing a deeper level of abundance and find myself on a higher level of self-actualization. There were a variety of subjects covered in ¿The Truth.¿ The author transitioned well between each one, so that the whole book had a wonderful flow to it. He also discusses a great deal of scientific research and psychological theories through out the pages. These are very well written and easy to understand. The bibliography provided me with a list of readings to follow up on. I am going to start with the bible. There are many biblical quotes that made me want to start with reading the New Testament. Several underlying themes stood out to me throughout all of the chapters. These included: We are all connected we create our realities with our beliefs and we are eternal. I found ¿The Truth¿ to be intelligently written and inspiring. It brought me to a higher level of understanding regarding my own consciousness and those of others whom I encounter in my life. These are people that affect me both positively and negatively. No matter what, I learned that it is essential, for my personal growth, that I forgive both myself and others for things that have been done to hurt me. While reading this book, I really felt like the Stephen Martin was speaking directly to me because it is so perfect for where I am at in my life right now. I suspect the majority of people who read this book will feel the same way. ¿The Truth¿ gave me hope that 2012 will not be the end rather it will be the beginning of something wonderful.

Good Read

I thought the book was very well written. The author gives very good examples about what is being stated. Good material, and very thought provoking. It was very understandable due to the way the author wrote it.

THE TRUTH????????

Found myself having to read the same paragraph over again and again. He was somewhat confusing. Couldn"t wait for the end of the book to find what I need to know before 2012 and he should have said it in the begining. Just pray for the universe and everyone in it. I will not recomend this book and not so sure I want to buy another on the topic.
