A Book for New Times

     I recently finished a book entitled Waking Up in 5D: A Practical Guide to Multidimensional Transformation by Maureen St. Germain.  If you believe that the New Age is upon us and want to know how to prepare, this book is for you.

     The author, a specialist in personal development and spiritual awakening, has detailed how we are changing into fifth dimensional awareness.  By this she means that we are evolving from a third and fourth dimensional awareness, which are dualistic, us-versus-them, tribalistic ways of being.  In the fifth dimension, she writes, we are more aware that we are all one, that love is all there is, and that karma has no more power.  I still have trouble with conceiving a world without karma (the little, mean part of me wants to see a couple people get what I think they deserve), but if our world could realize that what we do to others we do to ourselves because we are all one, it would go a long way toward peace and justice on our planet.

     Physically, we are changing from a carbon-based body to a crystalline-based body.  I have difficulty visualizing that, but I guess we'll understand better by and by.

     If you want to know more about what this next step in our evolution will be like, this book is for you.  Just a couple of caveats: an editor would have done great things to help give this book more polish by nipping the excessive use of exclamation marks (it feels like shouting) and the occasional paragraph where the same sentence appears twice.  As for me, I would have liked to have more information about some of the meditation practices without having to go on her website to order more books or downloads.  Still, those are relatively minor things to overlook for the good information in this book.
