What is reality? Why are we here? What gives life meaning?
These questions have fueled human inquiry across science, philosophy, and theology for centuries. Yet, despite countless breakthroughs and reflections, each discipline often explores these mysteries in isolation, offering fragmented insights without a unified perspective.

The Unified Reality Theory (URT) aims to bridge these gaps by presenting a revolutionary model of reality. At its core, URT posits that time is not a straight line but a self-consistent, looping timeline where past, present, and future coexist. This framework reconciles the tension between free will and determinism, providing a new way to understand how our choices shape both our lives and the universe itself.

URT draws from key scientific concepts like quantum mechanics, cosmology, and relativity, exploring how observation and causality anchor events in reality. It also delves into philosophical inquiries on time, purpose, and the nature of existence, while respecting theological ideas of divine observation, interconnectedness, and eternity. By synthesizing these perspectives, the theory offers a holistic vision of reality that encourages dialogue between science, philosophy, and faith.

This book invites readers to embark on a journey that challenges conventional assumptions and explores how all things are deeply interconnected. Whether you're a scientist, philosopher, spiritual seeker, or someone driven by curiosity, URT provides thought-provoking insights to inspire deeper reflection.

Legend has it that if you find a rock with a white line all around it, you have found a Wishing Stone and If you trace your finger around the line while closing your eyes and making a wish, then put it back into nature for another person to find or give it to someone, your wish will come true. There isn't a great deal of history, lore or origin known about Wishing Stones, so when in doubt, I call upon an expert to help me out, and my favorite go to stone and crystal wizard is Nicholas Pearson.

Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, specifically a form of systems science--a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems.

Presenting a broad look at how the cosmic environment shapes nature, we talked about how the practice and natural science of astrology can expand its applications in modern society in such varied fields as medicine, history, and sociology. Bruce shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth’s rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes, and the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. He shares his own studies on the correlations between Saturn’s position and terrestrial weather as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them.
