Beyond the Individual

What is the nature and meaning of life? Can we come to understand the essence of God or a Greater Intelligence? What happens after death? Who has not pondered these and other questions about existence at one time or another, if not throughout life? There are almost certainly personal inclinations for what to believe about them, but with so many varying answers around the world, where or how can confirmation be found for what is true? What if answers with confirmation are to be found outside of one's current familiar beliefs? Acquisition and confirmation of such knowledge is and always will be experiential, not intellectual, thus making it fully acceptable to oneself, although not necessarily to others. The fortunate recipient of this Illuminating experience (commonly called cosmic consciousness) cannot prove the knowledge gained to anyone, but can assist in identifying and distinguishing what separates this experience from others and in how to strive for a natural one of their own. This concisely written book is a personal testament and effort to provide such fundamental assistance to supplement and stimulate a seeker's yearning for answers. While the emphasis is on striving for personal experience a sample overview of the core of what is learned (specifically the one-ness of totality) is provided as part of that stimulation; the integration of spirit with matter to develop and refine the forms of life is a root subject for endless contemplation and wonder of its many branches.
