Genre: Consciousness
ISBN: 9781986106290

This 330 page book offers a consciousness based view of reality that focuses on the human soul. Remarkable scientific research provides compelling support for the theory that a soul resides in the human heart. Excerpts from a wide variety of spiritual texts further endorse the age-old soul in the heart concept. Additionally, a gut-mind is included to form a novel "Triality" of human consciousness. This head-heart-gut model is used to resolve mysteries that have remained unsolved by materialistic science. For instance the superconscious-soul is shown to be the elusive source of intuition, conscience, genius, love, happiness, health, infallible wisdom and more. The keys to unlocking these treasures of the soul are; opening the heart, following the heart, and opening to love. These vague concepts are demystified using plain language, illustrative examples, and clarifying diagrams. The depth of understanding conveyed reveals how to access these inner treasures. To provide a realistic setting, a perspective of reality that's founded on consciousness is presented. With the antiquated materialistic view of reality flipped right-side-up, a consciousness-origin cosmology reveals a purpose for humanity that fits reality and solves evermore confounding mysteries. Most importantly, tools and techniques are offered for the reader to deepen their relationship between the ego-mind in their head and the superconscious-soul in their heart to enjoy the most blessed life possible. Even miraculous physical healing can be accomplished by directly and sincerely asking one's magnificent soul for assistance. Finally, the last chapter provides astonishing support from the Hopi people and a famous Hawaiian kahuna, Daddy Bray. This gripping ending draws you into the exciting awakening that George experienced on the adventure of discovery that led to this book. Praise for The Magnificent Soul: "With George's in-depth research, entertaining stories and spiritual guidance, 'The Magnificent Soul' provides a primer on how to open your heart and engage your superconscious-soul. It is enlightening, transformative and a must read for those searching for understanding and mortal joy." -Michelle Quarton, LMSW, life coach, mediator and co-founder of rediscovering-yourself.com
