The Quantum Life by Dr. M. Teri Daunter

From entanglement and neuroplasticity to immortality, Reiki, and Eastern medicine, The Quantum Life by Dr. M. Teri Daunter represents a unique philosophical bridge between the spiritual and scientific worlds. Daunter lays out how to breach this perennial divide by moving away from traditional orthodoxy and towards an intimate personal relationship with one’s own potential, through the power of consciousness, focus, awareness, and analysis.

Interdimensional study through quantum spirituality may sound like a formidable undertaking, but the book presents an intuitive path for progress, utilizing personal anecdotes, scientific research, and philosophical sermons to reach some truly stunning conclusions. Having spent a […]

Review: Apotheosis Now by Yanhao Huang

For any embattled spirits looking for an honest path to self-understanding and happiness, Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond by Yanhao Huang is an excellent starting point.

As the title suggests, this book attempts to fast-track readers, or at least redirect them, to their highest form of self – their personal apotheosis – by explaining many of the obstacles, societal constructs, and mental blocks that prevent such a cognitive elevation. On this journey towards self-knowledge and self-examination, in which the ego is both ally and enemy, Huang asks many questions of the reader, which is potentially condescending in a […]

Review: The Silver Thread of Life by Phillip B. Chute

An economic advisor, Phillip B. Chute, draws on dramatic material from far different aspects of his working life – spirituality, karma, and the supernatural – in The Silver Thread of Life: True Accounts of Spiritual Interventions.

The author’s business career began with a single, simple episode: returning from service in the Army, he saw his family’s tax returns on the kitchen table, drawing him into the world of finance. Through that career he has made contact with hundreds of clients, some of whom have volunteered personal information about their private lives, seeming to give evidence for such phenomena as […]

Review: Wayfinder: The Path from Pain to Purpose by Emma Bennett

Emma Bennett offers valuable insight and access to information about self-enlightenment and spiritual growth in her new book Wayfinder: The Path from Pain to Purpose.

Crossing boundaries into numerous genres, from memoir and philosophy to new-age spirituality and self-help, this book is compelling, challenging, and painful, at times, particularly for those who have experienced trauma of their own. Fortunately, Bennett is a sensitive, thoughtful, and confident writer, with a clear desire to help others change their lives, or at least their mindset.

Unpacking the apparent conflict between “sacred” and “logical,” and combining spiritual ideas with science and reason, this […]

Review: Regaining Paradise by Paul Corson

Author Paul Corson boldly outlines a path toward enlightenment and spiritual liberation in Regaining Paradise: Forming a New Worldview, Knowing God, and Journeying into Eternity. Part theoretical textbook, part spiritual manifesto, and part scientific storytelling, this is a mind-bending book by a clearly passionate thinker.

Proposing the presence of a causative force in the universe – one whose influence doesn’t upset modern evolutionary models – the author begins to explore our individual consciousness, ways to attain different energetic levels, and the underlying doubts and fears that define human nature. At times, the narrative veers into the realm of self-help, […]
