    I have been reading and or listening to this book since I was six years old. It helps me fall asleep. Each time I listen to it, I understand it a little more than the last. I am 14 now and still not bored of this masterpiece. Thank you 🙏 ☺️

    45 years after first reading this book, and what a delight to have Richard read it to me.
    This book meant so much to me in 1979, it was as if someone put words to the "higher thoughts" that were tucked away in my mind, waiting for me to rediscover them in this current incarnation....
    I bought copies for 3 or 4 of my closest friends...when I asked them what they thought, I got answers like; "uh, interesting...let's go play hackey-sack"
    I guess their "higher thoughts" were to remain tucked away for a little while longer.
    That's ok, they were and are all wonderful humans and friends to this day

      It’s the same for me. I have given away books in the past believing that they would be voraciously consumed…but not even a peep from those I gave it to. I guess they were not ready….and that’s ok too 😊👍🏽

    Jon Liv C gull was the first book I read from cover to cover in one sitting. I just couldn't put it down 'till I finished. I was in my early 20s w no job, didn't finish HS and no prospects for the future. But somehow i found my path and managed to build a life w/ a Gr8 woman and now retired @ 79 w/ 2 wonderful grown adult children and 5 gran kids & 1 gr8 grandson. The road has been a bit rocky & bumpy at times, however, I wouldn't change a thing about it. I try to follow 3 simple rules for a joyful and happy existence. 1 Be Nice, 2 Do Good, and 3 Don't Harm...
    Not always an easy task, but w/ a little practice anything can be accomplished...
    Last year I learned to solve the 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 Rubik's Cube. Not bad for an old boy from So Cen Los Angeles...... I also love R. Kipling's "Thy Servant a Dog" and "Gunga Din" as well...

    I read this book in my native language (Hungarian) about 23 years ago-and it changed my view about the world instantly. I've been rereading it many times in English and in Hungarian also - always giving me support when I felt lost in the big world. That's the first time I'm listening it as an audibook but I feel like I know every line of it :) thanks for sharing it here. My next whish: It would be nice to see this book as a movie :)

    This book changed my life when I first read it, many many moons ago. Confirming what I knew to be true. And encouraging me to play with the “realities” of this earth space time. Oh what fun. Thank you for the audiobook version. Since a brain injury a few years ago I have been unable to read books and this is the only audiobook of yours I have been able to find. Much needed to help me get back to me.

    Observation of Quantum Objects
    The act of observation is a topic of considerable discussion in quantum physics. Early in the field, scientists were baffled to find that simply observing an experiment influenced the outcome. For example, an electron acted like a wave when not observed, but the act of observing it caused the wave to collapse (or, more accurately, "decohere") and the electron to behave instead like a particle. Scientists now appreciate that the term "observation" is misleading in this context, suggesting that consciousness is involved. Instead, "measurement" better describes the effect, in which a change in outcome may be caused by the interaction between the quantum phenomenon and the external environment, including the device used to measure the phenomenon. Even this connection has caveats, though, and a full understanding of the relationship between measurement and outcome is still needed.

    The author makes a lot of interesting points, even without meaning to. For example, he points out the limits and shortcomings of earthly saviors. He mostly seems to be familiar with the basics of the Jesus story, which the modern-day "savior" can't measure up to due to human shortcomings. Instead, the "savior" seems to just use his superpowers to please himself. It's essentially what any mere human being would do in that position.

      Meditate on zero. As a symbol of the monad. tthink non linear time. You will realize math outside of the omega is an illusion. Hence the Messiah most know saying he is the alpha and the omega. Begging and end. When you logically see all math is theoretical is when the wall will become part of the illusion. Like neo seeing the green screen codes. Zero point gravity proves this is beyond theory​@@Coddiwomple1

    There is a tiny bit here that is less than the perfection claimed to be presented.
    Everyone has a moral compass whether they deny it or don't.
    You who has achieved a belief he knows enlightenment should not hurt a person.
    You dont have to save the world like a messiah. But do not add a oz of weight on the negative side of the scale.
    The darkest amongst us misuse this knowledge to completely lose themself from a high point that took many lives. By not seeing that you will not go past a certain stall before the peaks you seek.
    This is not about satanism. But do what thou wilt is there favorite saying. Its disgusting. Its not, do what thou wilt, the whole of the law. I prefer.
    Doubt will do that, Its the hole in the wall. If you believe that only you alone is the most high in your current status as not having achieved the JLseagill golden evaporation are still in form.
    This is the final lesson. Self governance. For what it is a man to gain the whole world only to lose his soul.
    Power does not have to corrupt. That is a lie. You are not in the base reality w the nobles.
    We are still in a lovely prison camp school.
    Be grateful and learn something.
    To make it all the wah thru to the god head you must see this or you will not make it.
    What thou willed already was this broken world. Its imperferctions are a reflection of our current lack of understanding.
    Do do what though knows is best.
    The real wisdom is simple as the golden rule.
