One Infinity; a Visible Universe of Invisible Energy
In the movie Don Juan DeMarco, Johnny Depp's character is in a psychiatric hospital receiving treatment because he believes he is Don Juan, a.k.a. "The Greatest Lover the World has Ever Known." In one of the scenes Don Juan says to his Doctor, "There are only Four Questions of Value in Life: What is sacred? Of what is the Spirit made? What is worth living for? And what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: Only Love." Since September 11, 2001 many of us have been searching for the ultimate meaning of our lives, where three additional questions have been consuming our thoughts: Where did I come from? Why am I here? And what will become of me when this life is over? The answer to each is the same: Only Love. This book is a love story in a very non-traditional sense. It's a love story to remind us who we are, and what our minds are capable of when we remove our egos and fill the void with thoughts of kindness and love. It's love story to get us thinking about you, and me, and the Eternity we will spend together as One. Even though there are many questions to consider as we embark upon this journey together as One, the answer to each is the same: Only Love.
