A series of questions about life that will inspire you to find your own answers.

Where do we come from?
Who are we?
Where are we going?

We also want to be happy, healthy & prosperous. We want peace, love & harmony as well as action, challenges & fun. What If? is a series of questions & thoughts regarding existential & personal issues & offers inspiration to contemplate your own answers.

Like the three primary colors from which all others are mixed -- these three questions drive us as we wonder what our role is in the universe & the purpose of our lives.

So Gunnar Jensen has briefly set down his thoughts -- & do they ever stir the mind! & they're NOT science fiction or novel ideas, just one thinking man's breakthrough into consciousness.

What if all the “negative” things in the universe only exist because they are necessary to make the experience of “good” things possible?
What if you can get the help you need at any time? Maybe not always the help you want, but always the help you need?
What if you were strong & self-confident enough to do what you in your heart knew what was in your heart was the right thing for you?
What if getting what you want is a matter of really realizing what you want?
What if the most dangerous thing in life is fear & stress?
What if you can actually influence the world around you by the decisions you make in your mind?

That, & much more, was what the 1970's Human Potential Movement was all, as in -- now that you know how screwed up you are, what are you going to do for the rest of your life? Gunnar Jensen came that kind of cusp in his life... & decided to take the fork & start writing about his questions & some of the answers he unraveled.

What if life itself is eternal? That the forms are changing while the underlying life is a manifestation of a huge source of energy that can be constantly transformed?
What if the kind of energy that we name the human soul or spirit is equally eternal?
What if there is life after physical death? What if the life of a soul is an eternal everchanging journey towards more & more wisdom, love & happiness?
What if all souls are united in a single enormous & loving consciousness? That no one can exist without the rest? That everything & everybody is connected & that nobody can be happy (in the long run) at the expense of the happiness of others?
What if everything has to be subject to a universal law? That whatever action is performed has to be returned? Good with good & bad with bad?

This is just a taste of what lies between the covers of What If? It's a short book which I recommend you read & enjoy -- I did! Just the ticket to start you on your non-denominational & very personal voyage to consciousness.
