The Sapphire Song by Todd Erick Pedersen

The Sapphire Song
by Todd Erick Pedersen

A Deeply Spiritual Exerience - Review by Sandy Penny


As I sit trying to write a review of this book, I find it difficult to put into words. It is a deeply emotional spiritual experience of life and love, the seeking of the divine in life and within oneself. It is myth and magic and miracles. It is universal love drawing its pieces together. It is reincarnation and karma, eternal love, the Secret, the search for meaning, coming of age. The long poem reads like an ancient Vedic text, the story is vaguely familiar and hauntingly beautiful. It speaks of dedication to creativity, meaningful work and soul mates reaching out through time and space to find each other. How so much can be in one text is a mystery. Yes, that is what it is, a cosmic mystery, a metaphor, a song like the Songs of Solomon. The ancient style of weaving a fabric of words may not appeal to fast-food writing junkies, but if they bothered to read it, something in them would be touched. It is a soulful meditation and requires contemplation and sitting with the story to integrate all the meanings. It is the journey of the mystic wrapped in a love story. I read it twice before I could write any of this. As was said of all the ancient parables, he who has ears, let him hear. It is a new classic.

Laymen's Guide to Quantum Physics

The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav




In the late 1970s when I first read this book, not many everyday people were talking quantum physics, and Gary Zukav's book was lumped into the metaphysical category. Now it is in the science section of bookstore everywhere. He based his writings on the following premises, that if you can't explain it to people, then it cannot be of much use.


The main concept that changed my life from this book was that consciousness affects matter, and the way you think affects more than just the way you see a thing, it actually changes the thing you think about. That sounds like a chaotic way for things to be, and we know chaos is a very active principle in the universe.

Gary explained that when matter is broken down past molecules and atoms, you can observe the basic building blocks of matter, quarks. When quarks are observed, they seem to behave the way the observer expects. They may behave as particles, streams, strings or whatever concept you come up with. Think of that and ponder what ramifications it has on the world as we know it. If quarks make up all matter, what makes different objects? Consciousness is the obvious answer. What makes a chair a chair, a table a table and you you?

Anyway, it was and still is a mind-blowing book that more and more people now comprehend. It changed the way I live my life, the way I speak, the way I act, the way I think. It gave me great responsibility for the life I live, and it gave me hope for the greatest rewards I could conceive and believe. It is one of the great secrets of the universe, and it's laid out for all to understand. It's the Matrix Unraveled. Dive in and see what it brings to you. I'd love to hear your thoughts.  ~Sandy Penny
