It seeks to help you not only in current times, but also in the future. Ritana Books recently came out with "Incredibly Believable - Everything you wanted to know about The Shift but did not know whom to ask" by Sunny Satin. The late Sunny Satin, PhD, was a hypnotherapist and past life regressionist whose work had a large following in India and abroad. He passed away in November 2006, four days after finishing the manuscript of this book. On opening the book you realize the author is talking about concepts discussed in every culture of the world, though shrouded in mysticism. Apocalyse, the End of Time, the change of yugas - all these are phrases we have heard about in scriptures or as part of cultural images with which we grew up. What they mean, and whether we can do anything to negotiate our lives through them, are not questions that occupy most of us in the humdrum of daily life. Unlike doomsday theorists, this work does not seek to create panic or imply that the world will come to an explosive end. It instead speaks of the positive changes that will occur, stating that the forces of light will overcome the forces of darkness eventually. Given the times we live in, the book paints an almost utopian view of the world once the 'New Age' kicks in - which, according to calculations, will be approximately in 2029. Even earlier, major changes will begin by 2012. For the diehard rationalist, the work could as well have been titled 'incredibly unbelievable'. But the reference to quantifiable or empirical scientific phenomena are also plain enough. Who's happy? Also, the author was neither a panic monger nor a commercially driven trouble shooter. He entices one to leaf through by specifically asking one not to read the book if the answer to "Are you totally happy with your life the way it is?" and a number of related questions, is an unequivocal yes. For the serious reader its frequent use of italics, exclamation marks and font changes to attract attention give it a simplistic veneer, but the aim is apparently to make it readable to as large number of people as possible. "The Shift" refers to the increase in the Schumann Resonance, or the basic resonance frequency of the earth. The author phrases it as 'the basic heartbeat of the Earth" and explains that since 1983 this value, measured in Hz, has continuously increased. "That means in the year 2013 the world will be vibrating at least 50 per cent faster than it was in the year 1983," he writes. The increased frequency will bring the earth on par with other planets vibrating at frequencies much higher than the earth is presently vibrating at. The con-current natural and scientific changes on the planet and on humans will result in heightened abilities and a civilization that operates on a more spiritual and egalitarian level than now. Since hardly anyone can deny that world of more light and love would be preferable to the current one, and across the world individuals and groups are rejecting the old order based on hierarchy, fear and force, this book is likely to be widely read and discussed. DR SUNNY SATIN had a Bachelors degree from IIT, Powai, Mumbai, a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering, an MBA in Quantitative Management and a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology.
