Summary

Dr. Hawkins presents a truly great work that stands alone. Best described as "the first encyclopedia of truth in man's history," this comprehensive exploration into the nature of truth itself and how it is reflected in past and present civilizations, affords a major advance to the understanding of life in its multiple expressions since its first appearance on earth. Truth and Reality, as the author states, have no secrets, and everything that exists now or in the past, even a thought, is identifiable forever from the omnipresent field of Consciousness itself.
