"Over the twenty years since my first book I have channeled over one thousand hours of messages about the one consciousness — expressions of what I experience as an eternal library of wisdom (‘The Akashic Records’). The message has not changed; it has only deepened. In this book, I have taken ‘The Messiah Seed’ text and blossomed it to include this new depth (tripling the length). What has emerged is a bloom that is beyond expectation. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. With love, Story Waters" In 'One Consciousness: The Matter of Consciousness,' the...

Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning-and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have.
