There is a lot more going on in “KNOWING” than meets the eye. A captivating film with a lot of subtext. If you about The Bible Code, current astronomical concepts & discoveries, native indigenous prophecies, destiny, mathematical models and metaphysics, then you will like this film.

In 2003, author Yoko Ogawa’s novel The Housekeeper and the Professor was published in Japanese. In February 2009, the novel was translated into English by Stephen Snyder and published by Picador, a literary imprint of MacMillan. 
It is a remarkable novel, elegant, layered and metaphoric in its simplicity, with a serenity deep within its pages. It about a professor of mathematics, who cannot remember anything beyond 80 minutes because of an automobile accident. He has a passion for the mysterious & profound truths of mathematics, a love for his new-found family, a housekeeper with her young son. This is wonderfully written, elegant novel of simple truths. A real gem in the knock-down drag ‘em out, action, high drama and conflict stories that we yearn to be entertained by. The Housekeeper and the Professor is a simple pearl. A flawless novel.

Well, you really cannot tell a book by the cover. When my wife brought home a book, “The Ascendancy” and I saw the cover I was sure it would just be another story about the twin towers and a beanstalk.
I was wrong. This story is one that will inspire you to lead a better life regardless of your age. The author gives such detail in describing the characters you would think of them as being one of your classmates, someone in your church, someone you meet by chance. There are a couple of exceptions to that statement for you will probably never meet the characters that are named Gandor or Potter Sims. They are two that will accompany you on a very strange and adventurous journey. When I use the pronoun “you” I really mean you. The author draws you into the story and makes you an invisible, non-speaking character, but allows you to retain the use of all your senses and power of reasoning. I will tell you that I was “drawn” into the story and it inspired me to reflect on the way I conduct myself in the present and really evaluate my actions of the past. I will tell you that I have walked in the valley of thorns, crossed the desert, been in the upside down room, and eventually climbed to the apex of the mountain. I would strongly suggest that you read this book if you want to experience a change in your life.

Structure in our lives. Order. At at least, some routine or familiarity is not asking too much. Sometimes we even go as far as building a neat, albeit temporary, little crystal world. Safer, isn’t it, especially when the economy, politics, global warming and how many dollars you have in your wallet raise so much stress? Somewhere in this mist, someone of brilliance comes along and disrupts the glass that we’re trying to put all around us, someone who is not afraid, someone who cares more for understanding and sharing the truth than he does about his super-professional credentials or how he looks. Dr. John E. Mack was such a person. He was a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who won a Pulitzer Prize for his life of T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and later wrote a most unusual book about Alien Abduction.
His more recent book Passport to The Cosmos is a gem of process and analysis, a fascinating foray into an exotic world so different from anything which we call “normal.”
It is based on accounts by people who claim to have been abducted by aliens. While he fudges the question of whether the aliens are “real in a strictly material sense,” he insist that the experience is “real” for the abductees, in the way that shamans’ spiritual journeys are real to them.
For those of you who are curious about the stars, alternative consciousness, or just wonder about those things that raise eyebrows if you brought them up at a Saturday night wine and cheese party. If you are curious, yellow, green, blue or even red, then for you Passport to the Cosmos is a MUST READ!
