What is The Nature of Reality?Contrary to what almost all human beings presently believe, we do not live in a physical Universe because, as The Nature of Reality explains, physical reality is just an appearance that is being created by our minds and then superimposed by projection upon the non-physical reality that is both actually there and what we really are.The problem that arises as a result of believing physical reality to be the reality that is actually there is that that mistaken belief causes physical reality to function like a misperceived reflection to continuously obscure one's own reality from their awareness, thereby effectively trapping one's awareness in what is nothing more than a mind-generated experiential dream that is neither the reality that is actually there nor the reality that one really is.The Nature of Reality was written to provide you with the opportunity to free yourself from that experiential dream and from the suffering being trapped in that dream produces by using fundamental scientific facts to demonstrate that physical reality is not the reality that is actually there where it appears to be so you can rid your mind of the false belief in physical reality that it is inadvertently using to convert physical reality into a delusion that continuously hides from your awareness the non-physical reality you really are.Whether you know it or not, your awareness is presently trapping itself in a mind-generated experiential dream as a function of what is nothing more than a mistaken belief. The question is: Are you ready to loosen your grip on that belief so you can begin to wake up and become aware of the reality you really are?

"Mysticism in Newburyport" is a seven-book series revealing ancient secrets from masters of all cultures along with modern-day breakthroughs by scientists and quantum physicists of our times. These tales began flowing after Peter's powerful spiritual awakening in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Newburyport is a quaint little, historic seaport on the coast of Massachusetts heading toward New Hampshire. Peter had been sober in the 12-step recovery program for many years and had recovered from his alcoholism. Peter's love of Nature had brought him to the Newburyport area. This area is rich with Nature's treasures, Native American Heritage, and many tales from the tall cargo ships of olden days. High Street was lined with homes of these Sea Captains. Peter's awakening had given him new eyes and new highly evolved senses. Peter was to have powerful past-life experiences with his Mystery Woman guide named Layne. Layne was a mystic who would tell people things about themselves that there was no way she could know. She would look you in the eyes and tell you your deepest secrets. She also knew about the Earth's electromagnetic grids and helped Peter understand what he was experiencing in Newburyport. Peter's new heightened senses could feel the electromagnet flow of energy and the convergence right below Market Square in Newburyport. Market Square was one of the crossroads for these powerful electromagnet energies that give life to our planet. Peter was to share the secrets that were revealed to him in his writings.

Using this format we are able to let go of the "baggage" we carry around with us from childhood in a simple and easy way. The thoughts we created and live by were put into motion in early childhood. When we are three years old we run and we fall down and cry and then get up and do it again, but then there comes a time when we run and fall down and say, "that hurt, I'm never doing that again." This becomes a cognitive thought that we store in the back of our mind and live by for the rest of our lives unless we become aware of it and change it. Basically we are running our adult life from the perspective of a child. This gives us a chance to re-evaluate our outdated thinking and free ourselves from these old thoughts and ideas.It is such a relief to become who we truly are.
