Consciousness Rising The time is now By anne F. hicks
Are you interested in learning about or gaining more understanding of Consciousness? Are you curious as to how it relates to love, human existence, nature, the brain, a higher evolution of health, wellbeing and spirit? Have you ever asked yourself if you really understand it? I have pondered these questions all my life. My father, a World War II Veteran, studied in the Seminary with an intention of becoming a priest. He also studied philosophy and medicine and became a Psychiatrist in Upstate, NY, having worked in the community until the age of 80. He practiced with a kind heart and loving generosity of spirit. We often had philosophical conversations about the human brain, existence, love, the heart, consciousness, the meaning of life and death, and the human dilemma.
It wasn't a coincidence that I found the writings of the local Fredericksburg author Dr. Thomas C a p s h e w compelling. His latest book entitled Consciousness Rising shares resources for spiritual evolution and offers a sense of mindful awakening with more insight into the human condition and how it relates to being and understanding of religion, the heart, love, the dissonance, illusions, fear and the creative forces of the Universe. In a prologue on the w e b s i t e www.consciousnessrising.world he described that the purpose of the book is to present information that illustrates the limits of living through the lens of our mind, and to present information that demonstrates the ongoing shift to living through the lens of our heart. He noted the book provides practical and time-
tested paths away from our heads and into our hearts. "The time is now". Dr. Capshew shares excerpts of the book in his newsletter. In this space he invited an opportunity for reader feedback. There were thought provoking questions encouraging a wholistic view of being "awake" and mindful. His salutation,
"May your path be filled with health, joy, clarity, and Love," may be a lot about what this book is intended to help us do. A recent excerpt shared the definition of the work Consciousness with a Capital, "C". Another sneak peek quote, "Tune into the heart to experience the magic of the unseen world. Our heart, the seat of our
human consciousness, is where we experience the unseen world." This interactive collaboration shares a sense of togetherness in the quest to experience what is evolving. It is a must read for those who are curious, listen deeply, want to find meaning in the "mystery" or just grow in a way to appreciate existence on any level and an enriching place to start. So is his first book, "Divine Warrior Training", as a compliment to one another, these two books are truly written with a keen ability to share enlighten and move us towards change. The book should be available in May 2020. There is more to learn about Dr. Capshew at his website. He is a highly educated professional and teacher who has a lot to share with a generous spirit, a caring heart and divine love. You can sign up for his newsletter at www.thomascapshew.com
