Opis

After publication of his first book, "What We Believe That Makes Us Different," Charles DeTurk uncovered a wealth of writings from his past, composed of articles, essays, transcripts of talks, the content of eLetters, and Weblog entries that few people have seen, heard or read. He realized that in the quarter of a million words in these documents that he potentially had another several books, to say the least, in exciting and provocative ideas and information. So he has sorted out a large part of these papers into what is, at present, 5 books that he is publishing as a Series entitled "Journeys In Consciousness," of which this book, "Growing In Consciousness," is Volume I. In addition, each chapter contains extensive commentary written just for this book. The original content is presented, as much as possible, in the same format in which it originally appeared, thereby giving insight into the setting from which these ideas originally sprang. In a day and age when we hear a lot about how people need to learn to "think outside of the box," Charles has been living a large part of his life outside of the box. And from that place of awareness, he has gathered together, over the years, some very interesting, meaningful, and insightful perspectives upon life and upon all of this stuff out here that we call reality. His goal, for decades, has been to discover ideas and principles that will help people to be able to rediscover the truths about who and what they are, and to thereby allow them to live more happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling lives. "Growing In Consciousness" contains about 20 earlier writings from 1974-75 that were published in what in those days was called an underground newspaper. And then there are about 20 motivating talks and eTalks presented in 2000 - 2001. Amazingly, many of these ideas and concepts are right on target for today's reality. But be forewarned, this is not just another self-help book. Charles tackles some ideas and concepts that just a short time ago would have been taboo in this field. However, he has a fervent belief in the ability of all people to ultimately understand the truths that underlie our very existence, and so he shares ideas that others only whisper about. He has always believed in open honesty and says that living that way "one has much less to hide." Scattered throughout these pages are several chapters dealing with the subjects of eternal life and resurrection. For more orthodox readers, some of these ideas that he presents may be something of a shock and maybe will even get this book banned from Texas schools. But Charles believes that we are dealing with ideas here that, for far too long, have been hidden from people in favor of ideas that are more supportive of the status quo. New ideas often have a difficult time being heard, much less being considered as valid. So this book is planting some seeds in the belief that they will latter bear the fruit of new, expanded awareness. Charles presents his information in a conversational way as though he was right there next to the reader. And he does it all with an understandable ease that will give one new insights about their life and ways to improve it. What he has to share is a comfortable mix of ageless metaphysics, cutting edge quantum physics, and practical ways of applying these engagingly compatible principles to one's own life. For the bottom liners out there, you will enjoy this book while learning something new in the process. The future titles in the "Journeys In Consciousness" Series will include "Roots Of Metaphysics and Quantum Physics," "Secular Issues From A Spiritual Perspective," "Beginning Explorations In Consciousness," and "Presidential Marathon." Keep an eye out, for Charles expects to have them all published by Summer 2011. After this Series is all published, Charles will be concentrating upon his long-awaited book, "Millennium Paradigm: Explorations in the Dynamics of Consciousness."
