The Architecture of Freedom: How to Free Your Soul

Kirkus Review of The Architecture of Freedom 5/13/15

“An extensive, encyclopedic investigation that walks a fine line between New-Age spirituality and metaphysics.”

“Is it possible some of our central beliefs about time, space, and ourselves are wrong and our lives might change drastically for the better if we revise them? Cross investigates.

This provocative and ambitious book seeks to synthesize ideas in philosophy, spirituality, ethics, and new and old models of science to lay the groundwork for a new understanding of the place of humankind in the universe as well as the worth and purpose of human life. It’s as gargantuan a task as it sounds. The book, in keeping with this colossal goal, is sweeping in scope, moving from a discussion of recent discoveries in theoretical physics to a detailed account of how these discoveries prompt us to reconsider, and ultimately reframe, some of our most common convictions and beliefs. The project, then, is a revisionary one, encouraging readers to call into question the belief, for instance, that our view of the world is objective or exhaustive: “The reader must keep in mind that the multi-dimensional nature of the universe will always mean that it cannot be fully or accurately described using our three-dimensional concepts and language.” Cross gives intriguing descriptions of theories of the multiverse that have captured the minds of philosophers, physicists, and religious leaders for much of recent history. The goal of the project, however, is to show that understanding the connected nature of reality can help us transcend the egotistical concerns that have come to dominate our lives. In one particularly provocative chapter, the author argues that even a figure like Hitler should be understood as a necessary stage in the unfolding of a beautiful, perfect universe. In friendly, well-paced prose, the account flows and is broadly fascinating. In some cases, he puts forward claims that seem plainly at odds with common sense, and the justifications for discarding such common sense seem, at best, weakly speculative. That said, the book succeeds as an exploratory exercise in attempting to understand the practical consequences of taking up alternative stances toward the universe and our place in it.” – Kirkus Reviews


Do you wonder about the way your life appears? Are you looking for a new way to dramatically change your life? Have you found that over time you always revert to old patterns?

“The Architecture of Freedom” is full of fresh insights that are designed to help create a more permanent type of change. Exploring modern physics, personal experience, and spirituality, this book outlines a different way of understanding our lives, our universe and our being. While not a quick read or easy fix, once understood, the ideas in this book will forever change your life.

Imagine a universe where everything is possible and every idea is fully realized. Everything–all that we consider good or bad, saintly or evil, beautiful or ugly–already exists along with anything else that any person or being could ever dream or imagine. What if you could choose from all of these things to construct your perfect life? We cannot choose using our brains or even our minds; instead, we must choose with the entirety of our vibrational being. It is not easy for us to understand this type of choosing because so much of our universe exists and operates in realms that we can’t directly access with our minds or five senses. Even though it doesn’t seem that we have full access to this hidden but amazing space, it is always fully interactive with our lives–it creates everything that we do and experience.

I have devoted a large part of my life to exploring the nearest and occasionally visible edges of this truth. This book describes my personal adventure and the process that brought me to this realization. It is my hope that this book might serve others as a helpful guide for this, our common journey
