No One Knows / The Square Root of Love A book within a book. An intense story about the possible future written by a character in the present-as a confession. Matthew Lacker rises through the law enforcement ranks, then into administration and finally an appointment to Director of the CIA in 1996. After a tumultuous year he resigns amid the usual rumor and controversy. But this time its different. Matt has had an epiphany. He becomes stuck between a CIA rock and a government hard place. He goes into seclusion and writes a book-a novel. It's a 'novel about the truth'-no names but a lot of truth. The book about the future becomes a sensation and has been made into a movie. The main character, who narrates the story two hundred years in the future even has the author's name. Matthew attempts to explain it all to Charlie Rose sitting at the round table. "Why in the world use your own name?" Charlie asks. In the year 2201 Matthew Lacker is Chief of Safety for the Bureau of Safety (BoS), Abundance Urb Section. There are the Leaders and there are 'free people.' The free people are allowed to live in piece in a dense, urban environment-as long as they follow the rules. 32 rules. How did the world get like this? Matt Lacker doesn't even know. No one knows. All they know is what's in 'the flow'-the information-- flowing daily to screens all over the world from the leaders. That's the way its always been-at least as long as anyone can remember. Matt's old friend, scientist Hilliard Raven, is fine with that. So is his fellow physicist, Anya Khan. There's a lot of satisfaction pushing the limits of science-but whose limits are they? Hill Raven learns he is to be visited by his daughter, who he hasn't seen in eighteen years. Her visit and the appearance of Pearson, a young man who seems to know everything except the rules sets off a major disturbance in the flow which threatens to turn the world right-side up. Back in 2001, Matt thanks Charlie Rose for his interview and walks out into the Manhattan streets and to his hotel. Only then does he learn what his book is really about.

The Novel About the Truth. Judges Kings and Pirates dispels the unquestioned mythology of 'modern times' through factual research woven into a story of shared love and loyalty. A unique and daring in-depth look at the assault on individual freedom and truth. Jacket Summary: Gilbert Becket and Sophie Anson-Becket.From the beginning, the circumstances under which they met were what books are made of and for. They were 'chemistry' personified. Seldom are two people so much and so equally attracted. But the physical and emotional was balanced by the gulf between their intellectual world views. The way they each saw the world was a microcosm of the polarization of politics and world view in the the new millennium. There is a battle for the hearts and minds of the electorate. There is a battle for good and evil. Their world was either in its death throws or on the brink of a great awakening.Together, Gil and Sophie learn to understand each other while they fight for sanity in their complex world. The evidence of world-wide corruption, and pagan collectivism is traced through actual real-world events and documentation as the march towards a new world order intensifies. When and how did man-made global warming become 'consensus?How did a simplistic, improvable theory of evolution become science 'fact'?Who 'invented' the 'end-times' theology and industry?Who is herding us toward a new world order and why?Where will it lead? Will it destroy Gil and his love for Sophie? In the course of finding the answer, the two solve a WWII murder mystery and now they face immanent destruction at the hands of their enemies. Through actual research and evidence, Beckett and friends, facing grave danger, connect the dots. The picture that emerges changes everything...and it will change you

There is but ONE problem and ONE solution; Understanding this is the beginning of awakening. The myriad problems and evil of the world around us ALL fall into one category-- TEMPORAL. Yet, time as know it, doesn't really exist! You have learned to be a temporary idea of YOU. The real eternal you is right there... underneath. Thousands throughout history have awakened to the truth of life. It's available the moment you are ready to hear it. Are you ready? Since you are reading this you may be. When you are ready and you hear it, you will know it is the Truth, and that is the beginning. Getting there is between you and God, Truth. Temporal, erring, mortal thoughts will surrender to that which is perfect, eternal and inevitable. The first thing that will happen is that you will begin to lose all fear. To the extent we let go of attachment to the material we gain Trust in Spirit and with it dominion over the world. "Against the fruit of the Spirit there is no law!" Enlightenment does not come from a book, but if you are unsure where to start, this one will help! "Jesus taught no theology or dogma. His teaching and his daily demonstrations, or healings, were entirely spiritual and metaphysical. They were not religious and they apply to EVERYONE on Earth."` EVERYTHING observed or known by our senses is relative-meaning not absolute. Only the absolute is eternal--Substance! Authentic science is divine science and it tells us about the spiritual or "non-temporal" world-the real world. This is provable to each of us--in fact it would be worthless if not provable. It's The Ancient Theory of Everything.
