Yardley Proves Existence of a Higher Power

HOUSTON, Is Albert Einstein 's intelligence still
with us? As people around the world celebrate Einstein's birthday, a new book
released today -- 'Absolute Intelligence' by Ilexa Yardley -- answers that
question with an affirmative "yes. Besides showcasing some striking similarities-the
fact that all things occur in pairs popping up in science, psychology and
nature-the book integrates Einstein's theory with a very old Jungian Buddhist
mandala to arrive at the simple, straightforward, and easy-to-see conclusion
that everything is circular. Noether's Theorem proves that conservation and symmetry are
connected. Yardley observes in her book that the one "relativity" or
relationship underlying and overriding all others is that of the opposite.

Qualities of "God"
Once we see the circle in everything, pi ends up having the same
characteristics we use to describe 'God;' that is, it is omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent, because it is in everything animate, inanimate,
now, before, and forever. Actually , it's not them, but their 'Absolute Intelligence', that
will really decide.

Running time: approximately 3 hours, 30 minutes

Category: Spirituality and Health

A guide for healthcare professionals, helping them identify and address the
spiritual needs of their patients so they can treat the whole person; it
includes clear definitions of religious coping, spiritual assessments,
transference and counter-transference, and boundaries to care. Whether the goal is to lose 10 pounds or 100, most Americans these
days are about to throw themselves headlong into the annual, time-sensitive
personal battle with food and weight obsession.
Brian, a mortgage professional with a successful business in the Bay Area,
was 302 pounds at 5'10" before he found FA four years ago.
There are also numerous reports of diminished depression, and many have
cancelled radical medical interventions such as gastric bypass surgery. It provides the backdrop and the ideas to move people to a whole new
level of understanding, helping them to unlock the intuitive knowledge, or
"truth" they know so well within. What Yardley realized, is these equal and opposite entities
are all diameters of circles. This makes everything symmetric, proving the
circle is conserved. So this one little number ties everything together,
proving all by itself, the world's religions are communicating an idea that is
real, whole and true. All the ideas,
people, plants, protozoa, and everything else that ever was, are still
knowable today, and connected by pi." It's more a roadmap and
presentation of ideas, and a general conclusion about things we already know.

The book's thesis -- that all things are circles -- integrates the main
ideas in science and religion, supplying the perspective necessary to deliver
the "theory of everything" to physicists, and "judgment day" to religious
leaders. Ubiquitous pi, straight out of high school geometry
class, is a transcendental number that never stops (at least that we know of,
having computed it to more than a billion digits). It shows up everywhere but moves
nowhere. In some ways, we've
turned science into religion, or religion into science, leaving our basic
instincts out of the picture altogether.

between religion, science and individual intelligence -- the "relativity" that
Einstein was articulating .
