"The Success Magnet is the closest thing to a perfect circle. Roy has taken all of the elements of human need, desire, and drive and created a blueprint for any man or woman to follow. Further, this book masterfully outlines and answers why as humans we can and do go off course. This book provides insight and "outsight," it provides logic and evidence of transformation and does so with concrete examples of how and why. He goes far beyond the five values and digs deep into beliefs and false thinking. An easy read with a powerful message. - Jo Dibblee International best-selling author THE ...

Story
Recent scientific discoveries in quantum physics and relativity theory leave no doubt that nonlocality is a basic feature of physical reality. In addition, numerous phenomena such as ESP, out-of-body and near-death experiences, as well as mental states affecting physiological changes indicate that mind is nonlocal and cannot be equated with the brain.

The knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. Our fear of death has underpinned our religions, inspired our cultures, and also driven our science. Today we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age and die, and why some species live longer than others. Immortality, once a faint hope, has never been more within our grasp. Here, Nobel Prize-winning biologist Venki Ramakrishnan offers a definitive look at why we die - and whether we can do anything about it.

Story
In your life, your Personal Monad is the singularity in your own consciousness, the point of view from which you experience the world. You are conscious because the universe is conscious, and the commonplace experience of being a single point of awareness in your own mind—of being whole in your own little world—is a reflection of the Greater Monad in you. The focus in this book is on your relationship to the Greater Monad. Whatever the ultimate truth of the universe, that is not going to change.
