REVIEWS REVIEWS MEDICINE, MIRACLES, & MANIFESTATIONS by Dr John L. Turner Career Press, NJ, USA, 2009 ISBN 978-1-60163-060-5 (254pp tpb) Available: www.careerpress.com D! John Turner, from the Big Island of Hawaii, has had a 20-year career in neurosurgery as well as a long-time interest in non-traditional healing techniques. To him, such metaphysical phenomena as near- death experiences, remote viewing, astral projection and even divine intervention are not to be ignored but to be explored. He takes seriously this interface with universal consciousness and has found it can help his patents during and after surgery and also resolve questions hat physical science alone can't. Dr Turner applies empirical research o alternative modalities that support he body-mind-spirit link and which also happen to be at the heart of raditional Hawaiian spirituality and healing. He makes a case for how alternative treatments work, not if hey work. He also maintains that it's he outcome of the treatment, not he method of operation, that's crucial. We are one with the energy and with all things, he says, in this mindful book that also touches on THE HOLOGRAPHIC CANVAS by Sonia Barrett Timeline Publishing, CA, USA, 2008 ISBN 978-0-6151-7355-9 (202pp tpb) Available: orders@timelinepublishing. com; www.spiritinform.com umanity is bound to a "linear time" consciousness, and, to overcome it, we as individuals must learn to transcend the external programming that makes up our consensus reality. That way, we can connect to the matrix of the "holographic canvas", says holistic consultant Sonia Barrett. To become awakened beings at one with the Source, we need to shift our beliefs and perceptions, she says, and this requires movement: an increase in vibration; in fact, a shift of energy at cycles per second—the real meaning of the ascension process. It is our destiny to move to the next level of growth, but we can't do so without coming to terms with the social, religious, political and economic systems that have been holding down humanity for millennia. In Barrett's view, which is informed by quantum physics, each of us is the Source and our sovereignty is an expression of the infinity of creation, an unfolding of spiritual freedom through love's empowerment. We do indeed create our own reality, and it's 70 * NEXUS time to reawaken to cosmic science. Here, she covers perspectives on time harmonics and travel, accessing higher dimensions in the holographic matrix, taking responsibility for our emotions, and even programming stem cells. She encourages us to find our own truth and not accept anything that's thrown at us—and that means not being attached to notions of what may happen in 2012. Our DNA is already encoded with a "time release capsule" of "future memory", but it won't open unless we dissolve the veils of separateness. Barrett's take has similarities with the thoughts of the great sages and quantum thinkers, and it embraces spirituality and science in a way that can engage today's seekers.
