This remarkable book takes a fresh look at life as a process, not an end, encouraging readers to look for the meaning of life not in terms of achievement or others' opinions, but in the everyday joys of living. From the Preface ...It is easy to become attached to goals. Goals promise certainty, and the anxiety they induce only makes their achievement seem more meritorious. The trouble is that goals, even worthy ones, remove our sense of proportion and our sensitivity to what is happening around us. It sometimes takes a fall to bring us back into the present. 'Where have I been? What have I been doing all my life?' We awaken to the world as if for the first time. We have written this book out of an increasing sense of the importance of these moments. Once you recognise life as a gift rather than an achievement, you realise that 'meaning in life' is found only in the vitality of the social relations in which we participate.

The planet Gareth is being destroyed as the Rose sisters prepare to leave. They agree to travel in one bodyCrystals. She takes the energy spirits of Poni and Zoe into herself, reduces her body to radio light waves, and travels through space at the speed of light, arriving via sunbeam at the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and materializing on the naked back of sunbathing Mac Dakota, a.k.a Alleycatmac. Into the Mystery of Life: Zorasteria Zoe Rose is the combination of parts three and four of a four-part tetralogy. In part three, Zoe finds her man, Sheriff Thomas Day; she and Poni get permanent bodies; Mac and Tom open themselves to radical healings by Crystal; and the three sisters become pregnant. In part four, the three couples, who have formed a crime-fighting team, take on the evil Lilith Saitan, Princess of Hell, High Priestess of Dambala. Zoe tells us more about Gareththeir education, means of exchange, extended family, and why they used hydrogen as their energy source. Into the Mystery of Life is significantly more than a simple sci-fi romance.

"All life in all worlds" -this was the object of the author's seventeen-year quest for knowledge and discovery, culminating in this book. In a manner unmistakably his own, Murchie delves into the interconnectedness of all life on the planet and of such fields as biology, geology, sociology, mathematics, and physics. He offers us what the poet May Sarton has called "a good book to take to a desert island as sole companion, so rich is it in knowledge and insight."

E. L. Grant Watson, an English field naturalist, zoologist, and one of England's best-loved nature writers, spent a lifetime trying to bring nature and consciousness into a unified, holistic vision that would establish meaning in the world without losing wonder. The questions raised by facts of nature inexplicable in terms of conventional theories, together with insights gained from a reading of Jung--as well as by a study of early Christian gnostic literature and the anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner--brought him to an imaginative perception of living things based on the conviction of the presence in all things of a spiritual reality. "Love is of man, but wisdom is of nature, and there are times when it almost seems that the author's secret--as perhaps it will one day be the secret of a reformed scientific method--is to stand aside and let the wisdom of nature herself speak through him.
