This journal is a tool for engagement of imagination. The words that we place after "what if" can make or break our mood. We are used to 'what ifs' that keep us out of trouble, like "What if the sky falls?" While we worry about things that can and will fail in life, this journal asks us to also exercise our dream skills. Without our positive 'what ifs,' we only create in survival mode. With our positive 'what ifs' polished and practiced often, we keep up with our goals. When we hear the words what if, we will have a sparkle in our eye about what comes next. Having a sparkle instead of a clench for something yucky is not a small thing when added up in a lifetime.

How can the God of the Old Testament be the same God of the New Testament? With an evolutionary lens, there is a reasonable answer to this question. At every stage of development, we can have an inspired understanding of the Divine, but our perception will be configured by our worldview or value system.Like transparencies on an overhead projector, in this book we overlay two valuable tools: the model of the Documentary Hypothesis and the model of Spiral Dynamics, enabling us to view the God of the Hebrew Scriptures from an Integral perspective.This book invites you to make peace with the God of the Old Testament while honoring the ancients. It helps you release the dogma of religion and gives space for you to evolve your understanding of God and awaken to an integral acceptance of the inevitable and necessary stages of human development.
