Having just listened to the comple audiobook of Finding the Field, I found it really resonated with me personally, and I've read no other books that I found to be so profound and compelling as yours.
The philosophy outlined in the book is similar to what I have discovered on my own journey, and I found the explanations of ultimate truths and the field concepts to be incredibly thought-provoking, and It presented what can be described as a universal theory of spirituality which I think is missing in most belief systems – your proposed worldview was very complete and satisfying.
Thank you so much for writing it!

Toby, I'm delighted you found it so thought-provoking. I do believe that it is as you say – a universal theory of spirituality that is missing in most belief systems. And for me, at least, a discovery that brings both strength and peace.

I was hoping to listen on my iPhone, but it’s not compatible (if it had down-loadable mp3 links it would be). I have a hard time tethering myself to my desktop for long periods.

The book looks lovely though at any rate. It’s a generous thing to setup.

Thanks for the efforts anyways!

Thank you so much, Bjoern. And yes it would be wonderful to meet again, even if you don't come down from the mountains of Nepal… how remarkable that was in the perspective of this book.

Riverting stuff. The characters are so real, they pull me into their every move and arguments. The author has given us the compelling Jammy Jack as our educator, and I for one will need to learn more from him long after I close this well written book.
Michael Brown PLEASE keep J J alive in sequals – Blogs -anything!!

very much enjoyed reading your book, Michael. This is an important story for all of us who are actively working to 'find the field' and connect with others. Lynne Brice-Nicolson

This is, unreservedly, the most rewarding book of the genre that I have ever read, & is a winner in my library! An engaging philosophical/spiritual concept woven into what may seem like a straightforward novel, with the ideas at times sneaking up on the reader, in a most subtle way. I'm still thinking about the universal truths, weeks after finishing the book, even while travelling in Iceland.

Too excited Michael – too eager to praise your book…I meant to say (below) “especially” loved…

Hi Michael I found this book very thought provoking…the type of book that you just mull over for a while. Great stuff! Jenny

Hi Michael,
I just finished reading your book “The Abbey and the Weaver.” What an amazing adventure. It really opened my heart and felt like a truly authentic spiritual journey. Thank you for writing Thr story of your search for the abbey. It reminded me that there are things worth seeking and knowing in life.
May the Blessings be
Josse.

Hi Josse. Thank you for your comment. You’re right. There certainly is much to seek in life beyond the story told by our five senses. What happened back then has shaped my life ever since. You might like to know that Finding the Field contains what I have learned in my journey. On yours, may you be one with your greater consciousness.  Michael 

I would like to comment on your universal truths -especially 2 that life is a mirror.  I had a great awakening moment reading this article – it is really true, isn’t it?  I could see myself in the people who have been in my life and it was truly a miracle.  You see, men have always treated me like a sex object, like someone they just want to have sex with and nothing else.  It was like I didn’t have any value as a person and my only use was for physical pleasure for others.  Well, guess what?  That is how I saw myself!  These men were just reflecting my own feelings about myself – they were giving me a gift actually, but helping me to see what I thought about me. 
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this knowing with us, it has changed my life forever and will continue to impact my world and my experiences!
Forever grateful.

Is all this really real? How do you know all of this? To start off I was intrigued with what happens after death. So to see this really has me thinking. I first think from a logical point of view but maybe I shouldn’t. I would really want to know your input on this. Like how do you know all of this for sure? Are you even sure or are you hoping its like this?

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this book. For the past 5 years I’ve been reading every book I could get my hands on that dealt with similar subject matter. Books on quantum physics, spirituality, nature, religion, and psychology . I don’t know how this wonderful book escaped my research for all this time. Maybe it’s like the phrase ” When the student is ready the teacher will appear. This book is so thought provoking and genuine that it’s almost impossible to put down. As I read it I felt light bulbs going off inside my head and flashes of pages of other books I’ve read streamed across my mind as points of validation for the work. What we read here is very true. The more we read material like this the closer we become to understanding what we truly are. Limitless beings who are waking up from the dream of this limited version of reality. My highest praise to the author. Thank You.

 Hi Michael,

Growing up a Catholic, I never truly bought that I would just sit in “heaven” forever.  My imagination always took over of what it would be like, and most of the time it was exactly like Earth (sometimes in another time/realm/existence). It seemed to me that even the christians cannot agree on what the afterlife is like. I have always had this sense in me- a belief in reincarnation (i.e. afterlife).  I guess I am one of the only “one’s” out there who actually does not mind the thought of reincarnating “forever” in a timeless evolution. Especially knowing that there is absolutely no-thing that can harm Me.  Some may argue that I am crazy and some others that I obviously have an attachment to the material/physical world.  I guess I look at every life experience on this physical existence (good or bad) as a true gift of “God”. 

The fun of life is the not knowing what is going to happen next. In a way- ignorance IS bliss.  Although I love all that I have grown with in this life (my wife, my dog my mother/father/grandfather)- I also have NO attachment to ANY of it. Which is in my mind the true enlightenment. If “God” is truly in everything (including me) I know that I truly am NEVER alone.  It just makes me want to continue sitting back and watching/take part in this drama we call life.  I also know that my family and friends will reincarnate into loving families again and also be taken care of. Therefore, it makes non-attachment ALOT easier.

My question is this:  I know you don’t have full answers as you have not “died” yet-  How can I just forgo the whole “heaven” reality- which actually sounds more like a boring hell to me; and just be instantly “wiped clean” like a computer except for my jiva/drive?  I know I am going to miss my family/friends as I pass on.  However, since I don’t know my previous family/friends, I am OK with ALL of it.  It just makes me realize that all I need to do is love ALL of life- because ANY person I run into may have been my previous spouse or my grandfather- and that at the deepest consciousness level, everyone/thing else is just an extension of me.

Truthfully- having all my desires fulfilled in a split second sounds like a hell to me. So does a blissful ”non-existence” like Buddha taught.  Where is the fun in that?  Not even any of the Hindu philosophies of the Upanishads can agree on the idea of individuality and non-dualism.  I just want to “die” and be born again instantaneously in my next life (I guess this is where my Jain philosophy takes over).  Have you run across any philosphies that teach how this would be possible?

Thanks,

Good luck in this life…and the next!
