Just imagine for a moment what living in Paradise might mean. Is it a place, to you, or more of a feeling? Contemplating an idyllic life far removed from the present can certainly make NOW seem a little depressing, but Julia Rogers Hamrick shows us a way to create Heaven right here on earth. In Recreating Eden, she describes how her own life-threatening illness and miraculous recovery led to a connection with the Divine that instantly changed her perception and conception of life and left her with a vision for the future.

Hamrick describes how orienting toward Spirit creates a particular flow of energy in an around us that is much like an electronic circuit. Since this same principle is prevalent throughout the mechanical world it is easily demonstrated with magnets. If our orientation is toward Spirit, i.e., our negative pole to Spirit's positive, we become open vessels receiving energy that cannot help but flow outward. The interesting visual is how we would all line up, like magnets, if we had the same orientation toward Spirit. The energy of each person would increase by virtue of Spirit flowing into our lives, which would then affect our surroundings and, eventually, the 100th monkey syndrome would kick in and shift the entire look and feel here on earth because the frequency would be much higher. Scientific fact.

Hamrick touches on life circumstances and situations that tend to switch our orientation—like that annoying person getting all your attention as you attempt not to judge. Electronically, that shuts down the circuit and Spirit can no longer flow through us. In fact, our energy begins to radiate outward, which effectively repels both Spirit and those receptive to Spirit! Hamrick suggests that when it becomes difficult to accept another person or situation, love the Spirit in ourselves. Orient always towards Love.

While Hamrick draws clear relationships between Spirit, energy and us, what I found most fascinating about this book is the sense that we can adopt this technique with the clear intent of creating Paradise here on earth. We can actually intend to be of service to humanity and consciously choose to orient to Spirit, therefore lifting both others and the earth with our vibration. The pay-off? As Hamrick says, ease is the M.O. of Spirit. And aren't we all looking for a little more bliss?
