Eternity is happening NOW!

As the author of a series of spiritually-themed novels, [...] I am always looking for books that will add to my spiritual understanding. This is definitely one that did that for me. Kenneth Wapnick was closely associated with the authors of "The Course in Miracles." Most of his books lend insights into the course. I have found his books to be much clearer in getting the course principles across. This book has embraced truths that were always within me. It will help the reader begin to understand the paradox of time as we know it. It helped me affirm what my eternal nature is all about. If you like the books of Eckhardt Tolle, Deepak Chopra, and Eric Butterworth, you will love this book. Whether or not you are a Christian, this book speaks to universal spiritual truths. Whether or not you are a spiritual seeker, this book is a mind opener. It will help you begin to understand some of the paradoxes concerning the illusion of time. Time as we perceive it, in a linear fashion, is not what eternity is all about. The book will help you understand that the seeming reality which we experience is just an illusion. You may not choose to accept that and that is okay. Even so, it will provide you with food for thought. It certainly did that for me. What it affirmed for me is that the only thing that is real is the moment. What is done is done and the future is for none of us to see. It helped me to remember the importance of remaining present in order to make the most of each moment. That is where I believe my eternity lies. After reading this book, perhaps you will understand that eternity is happening now! Davis Aujourd'hui, author of "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude"

Advanced metaphysics

This is one of the more dense works of Dr. Kenneth Wapkick. I found it to be among his most brilliant. I learned so much and am eternally grateful to be walking the earth with him in the same decades.

Life is but a dream

I feel that this is an excellent book...really clarifies about the linear concept of time...Being stuck in a body, this was the most difficult concept for me to grasp. Excellent

The Mystery of Time Revealed

Any students of ACIM or any spiritual path will greatly benefit from the explanations provided by Dr. Wapnick on this subject of time. In the process, many other "untruths" are also clearly revealed. A comprehensive read, and well worth some of the mind twisters along the way.

Fantastic!

The concept of time as illusion is hard to grasp. This book does a remarkable job of explaining the Course in Miracles stance on this subject. Just incredible!
