Dear Friend,

The proof of my book came in from Lulu and I gave it the okay just to get on with it because there is always something wrong, and with "the flick of a switch" my wholesale book was back on the market, just rearranged and enriched with more ideas and insights, or visions of the universe in which the observer and the observed merge. Now comes the selling of the book. So I downloaded from Lulu "Now for the Hart Part: Marketing Your Book by Rachel Toor & the staff of Lulu", which is free for the asking. Nice book though. It touches. It connects. It makes you think, and it brings out into the open all your hidden fears. Let's go through it together. I need your help.

Yes, it has been a compulsion to write down what went through my mind, and what I had learnt mostly from Heidi (and as she always likes to point out); and I was in love with meditation much longer than she was, at that time, for the fascination the 4th state in Consciousness brings, even though she had come up with it in the first place. Instead she went on to embrace "Unity Church of Christianity", and as it had been founded by Charles Fillmoore. This was the time of my introduction to my "inner voice" - and I slowly got used to it, taking its presence as normal. It took me more than 12 years taking down and sorting out my notes and articles, while Heidi and I followed our most important daily lessons which started when Heidi came home one day with "The Course in Miracles". She then insisted we learn each of these 365 lessons, contained in the exercise book designed for a full year with 1 lesson per day, by heart (can you imagine?) while walking streets at night (after work), endlessly, relentlessly, never mind earthworms wiggling on the walk-way when it was raining, on which I did not like to step. On top, my mind was filled with dreams about a large recreational development on land I had bought on Okanagan Lake in beautiful British Columbia. Two miles of waterfront! All this went down the drain. What a blessing, one can say in retrospect. To give your inner voice more room, you have to knock your ego down. You have to nurture it to hear it better. You depend on it. It knows a lot more than you think. Quite often it, or rather "he" as in my case, sounds much like Heidi. Isn't this amazing, and where Heidi and I are so different? Do you think this is compulsion enough to write? On the other side, I was not really asked. Things had been taken out of my hands. I never really had any chance. Heidi was my guardian angel leading me through tough times.

I am not much of a writer. I may enjoy good writings by others, but I do not have the wits, nor the brains to create forms or scenes filled with action using simple words you put together like great writers do. For that I am way too dull. It always took a while for me to understand anything. But once the "coin had dropped" and has made a sudden click and you understand, things always became easy for me like math or physics or natural sciences because they are based on facts and make sense. At school, my writing skills were poor. My worst subject was English. This is why I came to Canada to learn a bit, and to feel better about myself. Compelled to write, perhaps I have developed a certain style if you like. Maybe, maybe not. The manuscript however must still be saturated with my German accent and grammatical slurs. Since Heidi does not correct my writings nor intends to read them, it has to sit there "as is", unedited for a while. Anybody volunteering? From my point of view, it is the message which counts. The messenger means nothing.  Did Martin Luther bother about form and formality when in 1517 he hammered his 95 Theses onto the Castle Church in Wittenberg, shaking an outgrown belief system based on greed and fantasy?

Overuse of words? Tons of it. My paragraphs repeat themselves because they have been collected and glued together because they are alike. When they were born and in between, each paragraph stood on its own. Look at it as a mantra repeating itself. Sure it is poor English. Perhaps some paragraphs could be rearranged, and suddenly, an old thought may light up again, making even deeper sense. Here, I just discover to my greatest shock and horror, a paragraph has been repeated. This is harsh. Well, accidents can happen. Can't help it either. It's too late to fix it anyhow. Sorting out paragraphs is a pain, and "going back is just not in". We like to see our book offered for sale and sold. This almost seems to be too good to hear. All else derives from there.

Editorial criticism? Do you mean the content, or just typos and poor English here and there? I know my command of the English language is limited. If you think this presentation would gain by giving it a brush-up by a professional, then this would be a great relief, but Heidi has stopped all further funding. "First the kitchen, then the bathroom, and then the house." Let's see how things go on.

I have read and re-read each paragraph hundreds of times. Often too many "corrections" may do more damage to the conception of the idea and as it came out, or when it was borne in its virginal state.

Am I proud of my book? Sure I am. There is no doubt. I am proud what has come through me because I know its Source. (Even if I am a boring writer, and sometimes have my doubts.)

Am I on a mission? All which has proceeded prior to coming out with this book and publishing it makes me a missionary, by definition, if I like it or not. We enter a New Age, and I seem to have been chosen to give basic instructions. My book provides for understanding. It is simple. It prepares for the transition. I like to see people to look at things and at each other "right-side up", through the lens of reality. Here, reason and logic prevail. Do I want to make the world a better place? Isn't that what we all want? But He who came to save us tells me to do nothing, just enjoy what I see. Do I need to walk around kicking people in the butt to change their life if He assures me "God's Creation is perfect & complete"? Who is here the bully? Self-Consciousness is over and passé. It is "wake-up time". We witness the rise of the sun. A new Generation has been borne. Let us leave the old one behind. We look at "Creation in Completion" with a rational mind. We look at each other as being "1".

Who will read my book? Not the scientist, nor the Pope, nor any accomplished professor in between who knows it all and does not like to change. It is the student who reads my book and gets enthused by it because of the Vision of Truth and the release from fear it offers; and the challenge it creates between the new and the old. I put out a little bait with my design of the "artificial mind" which is nothing but a copy of the real one, an application of the UMT, to make the theory more studied and acceptable in technical circles and Thought. Let's see if it works.

What is my book like, what is its category? Is it science, is it religion? First of all it is a revelation. Call it a textbook, a reference book, a new philosophy.  It deals with technical and religious aspects of and about the same thing, just seen from different points of view. Both disciplines are combined to form a "Model of Creation in 5 dimensions, with 2 spatial dimensions suppressed." Conventional views in physics and astrophysics are refreshed and upgraded, and seen in a new light. All is reduced to "God's one Son in perfection & completion from the begin to the end of all time." We all form part in Him. This is the interesting thing. Let us file the UMT under "New Age" if you like. Fit's also under "Philosophy", or any of its many branches. May also fit under "The 2nd Coming of Christ" and where we see Him coming through us transforming the world, and as He sees fit. How about "Truth"? How do you classify Truth? "Truth" stands on its own. It cannot be split. It cannot be compared with anything else. This book starts with the definition of Truth, and upon Truth everything else is built.

My book is special as it expands present day knowledge by adding another dimension to Mr. Einstein's 4-dimensional relativity, and the way we look at the world. This allows us to "include Life" into the equation of Truth, and to give us the means to see us all as "1". Without access to a bookstore I would place my book under "Reference" because of lack of a better place. Whoever seeks my book will find it. About this I am sure.

I do not like to pester people by pushing my book on them. But letting the press know what I have to "declare and say to the world" sounds reasonable to me. I like the idea of a "press release" because I do it from the comfort of my home. The Internet is all one needs to spread the idea around, and it starts with the press. (Hey you guys! Where are you?) If it does not work and everybody yawns and nothing sells, then there is no point in flogging a dead horse either. Maybe there is a delay in revelation, who knows for sure - the Dream is so intense! It almost takes a miracle to convert and be seen for what it is. Somewhere on the horizon, we see the Dawn of a New Age.
