Life infinite by Jean-Nichol Dufour Life infinite by Jean-Nichol Dufour May 24, 2012 Free! 71705 words Read a sample
This is part 4 of a 10 books suite. A new view of life is the main subject. I will go from nothing to the whole universe to explain the quest of life. I will explain how the earth can be seen as an intelligence, the same for the universe. I will furthermore attack the ego god ideology and wish science some life spirituality.
Author bio:
A fresh new author, straight from the intellectually acclaimed X generation, there to answer all your questions. From the beginning of life to the end of the universe, nothing escapes his vision, but only the best can follow his steps, so prepare your view of life for the test. You can abandon, you can reject, you can fight, you can forget but you already passed the finish line of innocence so it is too late to play impudence. Now is the time to separate lies from truth, evil from good, strength from weakness. My presence here as an author has nothing to do with personal gain, I’m here to reveal this reality and give you the option to live or die. Whatever it is today or tomorrow, your world will never be the same after me (humility don’t pay in this reality). As for my life, I sometimes think I’m a monk, but you will probably find me a better name after reading some of my writings. I’m a Quebecker living in Quebec City, French, so my English surely won’t be academically perfect. Not much running around the planet and no expertise, I think I was born revolted as I passed my whole life from 10 years old (the farthest I can remember) revolted and thinking about changing the world. Apart from a moment in the army and at school, as soon as I became adult, I started making actual projects for a different reality. Writing is the only way I found to express my mind, and today, at 37, and I’m proud of my work. I hope you’ll appreciate it, because I believe it is the only possibility for humanity to ascend at the next step of its evolution, more than that, I believe my conclusions are the only way for humanity to still have potential in 100 years, whatever scientists say, and again; sorry for my lack of humility. One facet of the suite of books I wrote is to make the demonstration that the present reality will fail for many logical and spiritual reasons. That’s why, in the first chapter of the first book, I’ll try to get rid of those readers I can guess will automatically go for personal attacks as soon as I’ll describe what I don’t like of the present reality. However, I don’t want my multiple warnings to deter those who want a fresh view of life, that’s why I’ll say to go for the title that interest you the most; if you want to read about how a person can be revolted against the world, then read “Revolted” if you want a different view of the mind then read “The seat of my mind” if you want a different view of god and the universe, read “Oh my god” if you want a description of another reality, read “A new reality” and so on. Finally, don’t judge from my cover art, I never used a drawing program before, and if you want to communicate with me, do it at the following address. Zipyzaty@hotmail.com

With this success another dream soon came about in the form of writing of this book about how to win at craps on a regular basis. I also soon realized that writing a book about playing craps is a hell of a lot harder than actually playing craps.

Author bio:
EXCELLENCE IN TWO AREAS of ministry has been achieved by a few; it has been a rare genius who has been so gifted in three areas, but to excel in four capacities would seem near impossible...but it has been done two or three times in history. Reuben Irvin Paddier is a classic example, for he was renown as an teacher, a youth leader, a and an author. Besides his obvious gifts in all these areas, he is also a man of prayer, a student of the Bible, and an outstanding personal soul-winner. It is said that he daily read the Bible, having a good working knowledge of old and new testament. Some students of church history feel he is promoting personal evangelism than any other one man since the days of the apostles. His prayer life has seldom been equaled in the annals of Christendom. One wonders if there has ever lived a man who did so many things well for Christ. One of his favorite phrases was, "I love to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
