How I Discovered the Universe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798903011605)

In her last book, "Consciousness, Reality, and Making Love," Dina Wilcox took readers through what she called "expanded reality"-a place where we use our non-physical senses: imaginations, intuitions, dreams, and feelings, relying on our consciousness to get there. This time, she has taken us right into the heart of the Universe itself-and what a journey it is!

As a child, Wilcox believed the Universe was God and, as she said, she always felt safe with "It." But as she grew and learned from science about the Universe, she was taught to believe she must have been wrong. Things felt terribly wrong after that, and when she grew up, she promised herself she would find out the truth for herself.

When the time came, she devised her own non-scientific experiment. She would live on her savings and not use any new money she earned. She would continue living her life with some changes-like no longer eating in restaurants and not buying so many books-and try to feel whether the Universe was aware of her and whether "It" was invested in her well-being in ways she would be able to sense.

Her journey turned into an Odyssey, and Wilcox became a heroine as she encountered many new kinds of people: Peru's last Emperor, Huascar, in his domain in the Underworld; magical animals like Clark the giraffe, who allowed her to ride on his back with her arms around his neck; the wonderful spiritual teacher Maria, who has also become a dear friend; Saint Germain, who to this day still guides her; the mystical Blue Russian cat named Fiona; and all of the beautiful people who helped keep her spirits high as she moved closer and closer to the final happy ending.
