This book by a teacher of A Course in Miracles is a profound meditation on the really important things in life, interweaving philosophical reasoning, evocative descriptions of nature, and poetry............The author has no illusions about the challenges set by the habitual functioning of the normal mind, reinforced by hedonistic patterns of greed and over consumption in contemporary society putting us on an unsustainable trajectory vis-a-vis Mother Earth.............He is also critical of materialistic assumptions of modern science and philosophy, relating them in turn to consumerism and prevalent mental health problems. The answer lies within, in returning to the essence where we will also find love, beauty and peace. Death is a reminder of our limited time on earth, the time to live and love. The author also reminds us of evanescence - all great civilisations of the past have disappeared, and ours is going the same way, perhaps sooner than we realise, despite our ideas of progress - he likens our situation to the Titanic, thought to be unsinkable until it sank. And since ‘Life is a Unity of Consciousness and Being’ our neighbours are ourselves and we should act accordingly out of love and compassion. This is an inspiring extended meditation reminding readers of the essential in life. ~ David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer

The clarity and experiential power of Reason and Beyond is like a fresh spring rain falling on a dry and parched world. The reader is gently led through a process of self examination, uncovering faulty reasoning, unconscious beliefs, and limiting ideas that interfere with our ability to be truly helpful and loving, qualities sorely needed in all our human relationships at this critical time. We are here reminded that each of us shares in the responsibility to change the ideas in our own minds that are the source of the damaging and destructive influences in the world, and that each of us has the ability to do so. This book extends a helping hand, guiding us resolutely to a radical change in our own consciousness, which in turn supports the great transformational wave sweeping across the human mind as a whole in this present era of unprecedented change and uncertainty. ~ Leda Robertson, teacher of A Course in Miracles, co-author of Reflections of Now.

You are about to read a powerful philosophical work examining exactly how your mind works, e.g.,dealing with time, space and relativity. What makes it unique is that the philosophical prose is interspersed with sparkling poems that warm your heart, and all the while you are being guided to discover your True Self as expressed in this poetic passage: 'Each of us must become in our own life a mountain peak that rises above what is meaningless and represents all that is best and highest in human life.' ~ Raymond Comeau PhD, author of There Must Be another Way: Reflections of a Mind Illuminated through ACIM
