The Knock: An Unexpected Wake Up Call (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949003055)

The universe is always knocking. Therein exists a deep, timeless, loving wisdom that is always present, here to show us how unconditionally loved and supported we really are.

The question is, are we available to hear it?

For Andrew DeGregorio, that knock was particularly loud, as it came in the form of a surfboard to the back of the head.

This trying, near-death experience became a catalyst for him to look within and begin to see his life through a new lens. What started off as a journey to get well turned into an unexpected awakening and a continuous deepening into extraordinary territory that challenged the "norms" of his everyday reality.

The Knock is an intimate glimpse into the true face of awakening, an unshrouded view of the unprecedented ride through excitement and fear, mystery, curiosity, and isolation, paralleling the intention to know one's True self. His story beautifully illustrates the profundity and simultaneous messiness of the coming together of human, soul, and Spirit.

As the veils of illusion dropped away, Andrew quickly realized that the more well he became, the more out of balance the world around him seemed. Waking up in a world where insanity is accepted and pain is the standard, no longer felt like the way things had to be. A search for a new way of being ensued.

What emerged was the discovery of an already present, intelligent, operating system that became an unstoppable force of loving guidance. This guidance offered "breadcrumbs from the universe" which consistently led to expansive experiences and a deepening sense of well-being. It lovingly guided him through an ongoing integration process of mind, body, and soul, naturally unfolding through the intelligent wisdom of the universe.

He found that as his inner world shifted, his whole life rapidly transformed for the better. Relationships, finances, physical health effortlessly came into balance. Contrast to the work hard, no pain no gain ethic he'd lived by his whole life, life began to flow through him with a sense of ease as his capacity to lovingly step out of his own way grew.

His story shows the practicalities and life-altering realizations that accompany an ever-expanding shift in identity. The Knock reveals that when we become available to life, life lives us into our fullest potential and guides us back home to love.
