"Amazing and eloquent....Nabhan makes us understand how finding and eating local foods connects us deeply and sensually."—Alice Waters, Chez Panisse Issuing a "profound and engaging...passionate call to us to re-think our food industry" (Jim Harrison, author of The Raw and the Cooked), Gary Paul Nabhan reminds us that eating close to home is not just a matter of convenience—it is an act of deep cultural and environmental significance. Embodying "a perspective...at once ecological, economic, humanistic, and spiritual" (Los Angeles Times), Nabhan has dedicated his life to raising awareness about food—as an avid gardener, as an ethnobotanist preserving seed diversity, and as an activist devoted to recovering native food traditions in the Southwest. This "inspired and eloquently detailed account" (Rick Bayless, Chefs Collaborative) tells of his year-long mission to eat only foods grown, fished, or gathered within two hundred miles of his home. "A good book for gardeners to read this winter" (The New York Times), Nabhan's work "weav[es] together the traditions of Thoreau and M. F. K. Fisher [in] a soul food treatise for our time" (Peter Hoffman, Chefs Collaborative).

This book examines the existence of five cosmic laws. These Hidden Laws can be used to our advantage by being aware of their power and understanding the impact they can have upon daily interactions. The Law of Vibration: existence of 'One' power that provides a connection of all living things, with the universe. We are all, connected to each other, by this force. The Law of Cause and Effect: what goes around comes around. You get what you give. This law is the Karma creator. The Law of Attraction: how to use this law in order to attract anything and everything into your life. The Law of Free Will: the freedom to make choices, taking charge of your destiny. The Law of Creation: Creating reality via the thought process and language used, on a daily basis. Are your thoughts and speech sabotaging your life? Are you creating a discordant energy flow? Each of the Hidden Laws is presented and explained in simple terms. Examples are shown, to indicate the way each law impacts the lives of various people. A brief outline of my personal journey, a struggle back to health, is also included. This journey led me on a spirit quest, which led to the discovery of the Hidden Laws and the existence of life-after-death. The information presented can be used to effectively, take charge of many aspects affecting daily life. The potential for empowerment exists, by using these tools of divine co-creation. I invite you to explore these cosmic laws that were recognized by only a few, in ancient times, when they were taught in special mystery schools. It is my goal to create awareness and understanding of these laws, to you, the reader, so that you may use them to your best advantage.
