More DescriptionThe Genesis of Now offers a series of self experiments that will enable you to discover the always available resource of the unchanging Now. Through guided focused attention on the structure, meaning and rhythm of biblical scripture, the genesis of the Now withers your own obsessions with self and tunes you in to larger realities in which you are enmeshed - nature, planet, cosmos, beyond. With practice, effects of this "word yoga" emerge that are too remarkable to occur simply by accident. The bards and scribes who composed these powerful scripts for hacking your own brain into discovering its own ability to tune itself may not have always known why their techniques worked, only that they did. Contemporary neuroscience suggests that through such practice in "non dual" experience - where past and future dissolve into the eternal Now - healing and insight occur. While writers such as Benny Shannon, Gordon Wasson and Michael Pollan point to the possibility that The Bible describes psychedelic states - the strangely insightful fruit in Eden, the burning bush of Moses, the practically heavy metal visions of Revelations - The Genesis of Now suggests that an attentive reading of The Bible can, in symbiosis with other practices or all by itself, alter your consciousness and allow for self healing through focused and loving awareness, right Now.

Yogi Berra"If you are a disenfranchised Christian who left for reasons similar to mine, or if you are someone who never really understood some of the most important and well-known concepts in The Bible, the world's best-selling and most published text, this book is for you."
