Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant), 1822 – 1885, was a military commander during the American Civil War and post-war Reconstruction period, and later, President of the United States (1869–1877).  Grant began his lifelong career as a soldier after graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1843.  He earned the nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant" for his relentless tactics and dedicated leadership during the Civil War. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln promoted him to the rank of lieutenant general and gave him charge of all of the Union Armies.  Under Grant's command, the Union Army defeated the Confederate forces and ended the American Civil War.  These are personal reminiscences of Grant which allow us to peer back in time to see him through the eyes of those who knew him.  Some anecdotes describe brief encounters with Grant, while others are are from historically prominent men who knew Grant well.   What they have in common are the intimate details that reveal the personality and character of General Grant.

What is the connection between physics and consciousness? In this groundbreaking new book, Samuel Avery presents the quantum screen, a paradigm-shifting model of perceptual consciousness and of the world. This model looks to the enigmas of modern physics to demonstrate the primacy of consciousness--the essential oneness of spirit and matter.
Our intellectual culture is divided between two poles--science and religion. It's often assumed that these two disciplines--each individually essential and intriguing--cannot speak to one another. Physics cannot answer spiritual questions. Theories of consciousness have no place in the laboratory. In fact, the opposite is true.
While mental and physical experiences appear to be separate realities, Avery believes that a new understanding of dimensions (space, time and mass) will unite them. Dimensions as structures of perceptual consciousness will awaken a creative convergence of quantum mechanics, relativity theory, and ancient meditation traditions.
Scientifically rigorous and spiritually profound, Avery's model is far from a mere concept or belief. He offers both an explanation of the quantum screen, as well as an opportunity to experience it directly. He deftly weaves humanism into the fabric of hard science. The result is illuminating and potentially life changing, with significant implications for how we understand nature, ourselves, and each other.

With a subtle eye, we can see that this physical world is an undulating ocean of consciousness, of light masquerading as matter.
The Sacred Hub is an inspiring guide that will help you purify your subtle vision so that you can venture beneath the conditioned mind to awareness itself—into the sacred hub within your own heart. It is in this billowing awareness where you will find your own truth, your own authentic expression, and the freedom and enduring happiness of your own innermost being.
Finally, this book is an extraordinary reminder that the power that holds the numberless stars in the vast heavens is within us. Within each of us is a spark of the divine power that created the cosmos. When you know the shimmering light of your true Self, you will know everything because that Self is the creative, intelligent force behind this whole universe.
