Editor's Forward:

This book is such a cosmic heavy-hitter that we had all of our reviewers send us their thoughts on it.  Unusual – contains a ‘synoptic’ table of contents – a fabulous tool for those who wish to use this book as a reference, or perhaps to decide which chapters to re-read, for this book is simply packed with valuable info for those seeking to know more about the origins and ‘stuff’ of our life in this corner of the universe.  One of the quotes cited in his introduction says it all:  

“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion.  The religion which is based on experience, which refuses dogma.”  -- Albert Einstein

Why Is Life

  Cosmic Thoughts from all of our Cosmic Reviewers:

From Cosmic's 'The Universe' Reviewer:

A fantastic overview of established and alternative information about all of life’s mysteries including our origins, our reality, our future, many mysteries, religion, sex, and the author’s beliefs (Dennis has established himself as a leader in modern thought).  And yes, Albert Einstein said it best:  E = mc2.  When translated from its mathematical origins, this means that matter is equivalent to energy, or that all reality is made of the same stuff – we are all one.  How cosmic is that !!  This book is a must for all those who are seeking to know more about life.

Spirituality Reviewer: Rev Doreen Oceana

An invaluable tool for self-growth.  Who am I?  Why am I here?  What is the meaning of existence?  The author describes how he has ‘awakened’ to find this answer: “I am an incredibly beautiful being who exists simultaneously in a great many dimensions and time frames.  I am an amazingly powerful entity with an enormous storehouse of information, capable of extraordinary feats of creative genius…. I am here to remember….”

 

Personal growth and self help Reviewer::  Dr Bev Steinbeck

A fantastic resource for those seeking enlightenment.  As the author writes, subscribing to a set of beliefs is a dynamic process by which my awareness moves toward absolute truth.  Although dogma and pre-set doctrine have played valuable roles at points in our collective evolution, I believe that it is becoming more useful to look inward, to listen to one’s inner voice, to work things out for oneself’.  Far be it from me to add to this bit of wisdom – Dennis says it best ‘I believe the best route to enlightenment is to follow one’s joy.  If you’re doing something that ‘makes your heart sing’, you are probably assisting your own healing process’.  Absolutely !!

Healing Dr Memhotep

A journey of healing for the author, who found himself waylaid with a debilitating disease - and at the same time with an opportunity for enlightenment – his life’s quest.  Writing this amazing book has been a way for this author to heal himself and at the same time provide the same opportunity for all those who read this great work.  Humanity has an incredible story, and the journey of healing and awakening is the stuff of enlightenment, shedding light or awareness, consciousness, into our environment and opening up the veil that has shielded us from the workings of this divine ‘game’ as the author refers to life.

The Mystical – Meru

The author is sharing what he has found as he ‘has fumbled his way long the path to enlightenment’, at the same time acknowledging that he’s come a long way on that path and that the is aware that he still has a long way to go.  He describes the age of Non–Dogmata, where rather than adhere blindly to preconceived doctrine or the opinions of others, it is preferable to work things out for ones own self.  Hopefully one learns to listen to one’s higher self or inner voice, which will always help to guide on to whichever paths seem most beneficial.  Life is truly a mystical experience – Dennis has done an incredible job of compiling information from many difference sources to create the big picture of our life on earth.  He compares current dogma (belief held by organizations or religions) to alternative information (information that has been hidden or not commonly accepted) about all facets of life on earth – and then also occasionally throws in his two cents worth (Dennis's views are incredibly insightful).  His section on mysteries and enigmas is quite excellent and compelling for the reader to follow up and do some research on their own with the many links and references he provides.  Mysteries are only mysteries because we haven’t figured them out just yet – food for further thought and pondering as we awaken out of our holographic dream to find the inner workings of life !

Human consciousness – Hans Gunther Knepp

The author has an incredibly enlightened view of life and reality – The Glorious Game.  To be awake is to realize that everything we do is designed to bring us closer to the light, that any action that does not assist us along the path to enlightenment is not worth pursuing.  The process of ‘remembering’ who we are is the process of ‘enlightenment’.  The best way to begin – ask you your own questions and find your own answers.  Dennis acknowledges that to describe our reality, there is no single explanation that will be satisfactory.  He offers several different perspectives or explanatory models and they do all come together at the end, providing great insight into the mystery of our reality ! (….pay no attention to that man behind the curtain…’ – Wizard of Oz, from The Wizard of Oz 1939).  By providing his process of discovery, Dennis has provided a tool for us to help with our own incredible journey.
