If you are a searcher, this book gives answers. Sep 09, 2008
If you are a searcher, this book gives answers - read it with an open mind and spirit.------------------------------------------------------------ I think this book has an important message to present to the world - one that is hard to believe as it seems to fly in the face of all that we have accepted as our view of reality from the start of our individual lives If we begin to believe in this concept of a universal belief system and all that is connected, then it literally cuts the ground from beneath our feet, so we are disorientated - our safe and secure worldview is turned upside-down and we will be forced to see science and spirituality as a partnership in order to, once more, find a solid platform to stand upon. Although Alex Morrey’s presentation of his ideas is clear and understandable, the basic concept is completely alien to our presently accepted thinking - but if you can persist reading with an open and unbiased mind you can be changed - I was, so why not many other perceptive readers. I had written a book in 2007, and published early 2008, which posed questions about the paranormal, UFO's, synchronicity etc., - questions I found reflected in Alex Morrey's book (which I had discovered only recently) These questions were, for me, conceptually answered by his explanations of "reality" - (and Reality) - and my "gut feeling" towards my situation was significantly explained by reading this unique book; so if you can maintain an open, unbiased and detached approach when reading you will greatly benefit from it - but please do not be afraid to put aside all your preconceptions....Graham Pepall

Where Angels Fear To Tread: The Nature of Reality and the Meaning of God
This New York Times Book Review was written by Ellen Tanner Marsh.
What is reality? Is what we see really what is truly there? Not according to Alex Morrey's thought-provoking new book, Where Angels Fear To Tread. The Nature of Reality and the Meaning of God.
Forget what you think you know about the universe. Our universe, according to Morrey, is a consequence of our collective space-time beliefs. What we see and feel and sense are not really based on objective fact at all, but rather on our shared "universal belief" that reveals to us a reality we've all seemingly agreed to accept.
But what about the greater reality, one that encompasses dreams, psychic phenomena and precognitive dreaming? Can we be consciously aware of both the real world and this dream world? And how do we get closer to this ultimate reality, which encompasses both?
Morrey's book is filled with fascinating accounts of how the human brain can shape our world. True Reality in theological terms. Morrey says, is nothing less than "the mind of God," with Jesus of Nazareth as an example of how we should aspire to live within it, as a Real self. But can we make inroads to this Reality? Can we heal ourselves and, as good Christians or better still Realists, heal the world as well?
Morrey's prose is clear-eyed, inspirational and so provocatively smart that it's downright exhilarating. Read this book and you'll never look at the world the same way again.
