Great new book explaining Quantum Physics and Awakening. My dear friend, and very awakened dude, Tim Cross, has published a wonderful book I have read and highly recommend: THE ARCHITECTURE OF FREEDOM. ** Read national reviews and my review below and see more about the book on his website: http://www.thearchitectureoffreedom.com/ If you know Tim, write him a congratulatory message if you like! He can be contacted via his website! *Share this on Facebook too to help him to share! **Excerpt of the Kirkus Review: "This provocative and ambitious book seeks to synthesize ideas in philosophy, spirituality, ethics, and new and old models of science to lay the groundwork for a new understanding of the place of humankind in the universe as well as the worth and purpose of human life" *The book is available for less than $4.95 online, however, I recommend the print version as you will likely want to highlight it because it is so brilliant. **Where to buy it: 1) www.Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/The-Architecture-Freedom-Free-Your/dp/0988834448 2) The Nook format of the book is available at www.BarnesandNoble.com http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-architecture-of-freedom-tim-cross/1121400868?ean=2940151286916 3) The print edition of the book sold at Book People and Brave new Books, and can be ordered at www.amazon.com **See the Facebook Page for the Architecture of Freedom https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Architecture-of-Freedom/165760250225559 ******************************* **Reviews of Tim Cross' Book: 1st Review: Kirkus Review of The Architecture of Freedom “An extensive, encyclopedic investigation that walks a fine line between New-Age spirituality and metaphysics.” “Is it possible some of our central beliefs about time, space, and ourselves are wrong and our lives might change drastically for the better if we revise them? Cross investigates. This provocative and ambitious book seeks to synthesize ideas in philosophy, spirituality, ethics, and new and old models of science to lay the groundwork for a new understanding of the place of humankind in the universe as well as the worth and purpose of human life. It’s as gargantuan a task as it sounds. The book, in keeping with this colossal goal, is sweeping in scope, moving from a discussion of recent discoveries in theoretical physics to a detailed account of how these discoveries prompt us to reconsider, and ultimately reframe, some of our most common convictions and beliefs. The project, then, is a revisionary one, encouraging readers to call into question the belief, for instance, that our view of the world is objective or exhaustive: “The reader must keep in mind that the multi-dimensional nature of the universe will always mean that it cannot be fully or accurately described using our three-dimensional concepts and language.” Cross gives intriguing descriptions of theories of the multiverse that have captured the minds of philosophers, physicists, and religious leaders for much of recent history. The goal of the project, however, is to show that understanding the connected nature of reality can help us transcend the egotistical concerns that have come to dominate our lives. In one particularly provocative chapter, the author argues that even a figure like Hitler should be understood as a necessary stage in the unfolding of a beautiful, perfect universe. In friendly, well-paced prose, the account flows and is broadly fascinating. In some cases, he puts forward claims that seem plainly at odds with common sense, and the justifications for discarding such common sense seem, at best, weakly speculative. That said, the book succeeds as an exploratory exercise in attempting to understand the practical consequences of taking up alternative stances toward the universe and our place in it. An extensive, encyclopedic investigation that walks a fine line between New-Age spirituality and metaphysics.” – Kirkus Reviews *********************************** 2nd Review of The Architecture of Freedom​ Will be published in Small Press Bookwatch for July 2015 Synopsis: Exploring modern physics, personal experience, and spirituality, this book outlines a radically different way of understanding our lives, our universe and our being. While "The Architecture of Freedom" is not a quick read or proposing an easy fix, once understood, the ideas in laid out by author Tim Cross will forever change your life. Whether or not we are aware of it, what the majority of us most desire is peace of mind in each and every moment. This experience becomes available to all of us when we learn how to live our lives without “resistance” so that we can then use our unique gifts to follow our most personal and joyful path. "The Architecture of Freedom" describes the personal adventure and the process that brought Tim Cross to this realization and will serve others as a helpful guide for this, humanity's our common journey. Critique: Thoughtful and thought provoking, "The Architecture of Freedom" is a compelling, comprehensive, and informative read from beginning to end. "The Architecture of Freedom" is one of those rare works that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself is finished and set back upon the shelf. Very highly recommended for community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "The Architecture of Freedom" is also available in a Kindle edition ($4.95). –Midwest Book Reviews +++++++++++++++++++++++ 3rd Review by Amanda Winters Tim Cross' book was an absolutely joy to read. I find him more interesting and easier to understand AND more hip and funner to read than anything I have seen or read from Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Stephen Hawking. This book is an important contribution to our world and a work of love, apparently. The author is hip, funny and brilliant. Mr. Cross has done a masterful job of creating a model to help us better understand life. The price is unbelievably low at $3.95---And I think it is a great gift that is appropriate for anyone high school age up. As an architect and former physics teacher, he is able to provide an easy to understand (yet thorough) explanation of extremely complex subjects and how he believes they fit together. Some examples are explanations of: -The Big Bang, Multiverse, Cosmology, String Theory and Quantum Physics -The Theories of Many Worlds, Relativity and the Multiverse . He makes these topics easy to understand, even to those of us who have little or no background in physics. He has a fascinating life and provides many incredible stories of his experiences that prove or disprove the scientific theories he describes. Examples include stories of fire-walking and having an out of body experience, and he explores many phenomena, such as out of body experiences and the burst of energy that occurs at the time of death for many. The book succinctly describes practical ways to understand and work with with the human condition to become a more conscious and presence centered human being. Recommended practices resonate with those of world famous teachers I study (such as Eckhart Tolle) and include mindfulness (living in the now), forgiveness, gratitude, and recognizing and releasing judgment and projection. I found his history of physics as we understand it today fascinating. A great advantage to the reader is that the author welcomes readers to skip the scientific explanations and pick through the well indexed book to the parts that are of more interest to them. The book has increased my trust in the universal laws invisibly and seamlessly in operation around me. As promised by the author, I gained a better understanding of the structure of creation, and it eliminated many of my fears. :) Enjoy and don't be surprised if you do not end up stuck in it, reading for hours, consumed by its amazingly wonderful content!!
