A masterful story that touches all your emotions.
Are we living the Quickening Mary Magdalene predicted?
According to legend, in the final years of her life, Mary Magdalene had a prophetic vision of a time when the world would be awash in confusion and conflict. A powerful force called the Quickening would emerge, threatening the very survival of humanity. The only hope lay with the Magdalene Treasure finding its way into the hands of a man and woman destined to shepherd humankind through the travails and set the stage for the return of Christ.

“Carlo,” she sighed, as she melted into his chocolate eyes. “Carlo, Carlo, Carlo… This has been so tiring for us both. Let’s take some time and see what clarity rest may bring.”
“You are a most incredible woman, Susana. I cannot believe I allowed my life to go on these years without you by my side. Without me by your side. How could I have forgotten the magical girl who filled me years ago with promises of a secret, lost Prophecy? You filled me with its hope. I cherish you Susana, more than you can know.”
Carlo’s words touched her to the core. Never before had he spoken to her with such depth and emotion. Never before had he bared his soul as he did on this night, revealing his fears, admitting his vulnerability.
The Carlo she’d once known had been bold and confident. With that came aloofness and distance — a self-centered hedonist hungry mostly for pleasure. But this was not the same man. What had caused his shift, she wondered. Had age finally taken hold and with it maturity?
Or was she witnessing what Mary had foreseen, the profound transformation destined for all those who chanced upon the Treasure?
For Susan’s part, despite just having wrestled with Carlo—and perhaps even because of it—she couldn’t deny the passion he evoked from her. Nor the joy he inspired. Not even the love.
How many times in her youth had she read and re-read her professor's letter, reciting the few quotations aloud to herself, looking for meaning, seeking to
understand their cryptic words? And suddenly in the light of Carlo’s beautiful tribute, Susan’s favorite verse from the Gospel of J sprung forth anew,
Our Treasure shall find its way into the hands of the Two who are as One. man and woman. equal unto each other. whole each and as one.
Was it conceivable that she and Carlo were the Two who are as One? Could they be the ones Mary had envisioned so long ago? The two who would receive the wisdom of the Sacred Orb and the Magdalene Prophecy? The ones to herald the Second Coming of Christ?

This week, we're talking with Ron Stern about his new book, Meals, Movement, and Meditation.
Tell us something unexpected about yourself!
I'm a doctor practicing full time. I've been interested in the facts about health for a long time and I was so confused by all the misinformation about nutrition and exercise that I decided to do something about it…the result is Meals, Movement, and Meditation.
Why do you write?
I've always loved writing, but I'm really passionate about Medicine, and particularly nutrition, exercise, and meditation.
What book do you wish you had written?
I'm still thinking about writing a companion to my book, which details the how-to of nutrition, exercise, and meditation…it's in the planning stage.
Where did you get the inspiration for your current book?
After reading countless confusing and misleading books on nutrition and exercise, I decided I needed to clear up my own confusion by getting the facts straight.
What do you enjoy the most about your genre?
Well, I'm a doctor, so I like dealing in facts, but I really love reading well-written mysteries and thrillers.
How would you describe your writing process?
It depends what I'm writing. For this book, which is about evidence, it was methodical and careful. I've dabbled in fiction and that process is spontaneous and free flowing ideas. I love both processes.
What do you think authors have to gain from participating in social media?
It's a huge part of so many people's lives, so participation in this media is essential to making them aware of this book.
How do you react to seeing a new review for your book?
It's always exciting…
What advice would you have for other writers?
Be persistent and listen to criticism.
How do you select your books’ titles and covers?
I came up with several options and asked friends and family members their thoughts
What’s your next step?
I'm planning a how-to that details the specifics that I discuss in general in my book.

What has humankind done with the simplicity of life? The evolution of our species has induced complexity into our existence. This doesn’t necessarily stem, from our ever-changing and developing human-made environment, but from our misuse of the wonderful gifts of humankind, such as creativity, intelligence, and a higher level of consciousness, which surpasses any other known living being. A somewhat discouraging downside to our species development is that we are also plagued by emotions, conditioning, and the ego, which manipulate, restrict, and corrupt many areas of our existence.
This combination of human characteristics forms the basis of our complexity. The irony is that most of these self-imposed confusions, fears, and complexities are not needed in our daily human activities. This demand to dominate life has imposed an illusion of separation from it.
The forms and objects of our man-made existence content are mostly an illusion. We progressively maintain a behavior that enforces the patterns which were developed throughout humankind’s history. We hold on to unsubstantiated assumptions and beliefs that often only divert our human consciousness from corresponding with the universal intelligence. We have more and more difficulty in finding peace and joy in living.
We have been taught to seek man-made materialistic content to fulfill our supposed emptiness. Many people; including family, friends, and institutions wish to dictate how we should live and what we should think. We are no longer able to enjoy our existence. Mankind is compiled to search and reach for something, anything, to fill a void, which we ourselves created. This illusion is nurtured by the content of humankind’s society. The happiness that does seem to appear from time to time is very short-lived. There is no real substance in many of our human endeavors.

FIRST DIARY
REMEMBRANCES FROM THE PAST
December 2nd, 1918
I have decided to write a bit every day so that I can tell my sad story, little by little, from beginning to end.
During the first twenty-one years of my life, you would think I was the happiest person on earth. It’s been eleven years since then – eleven unbearable years. The only thing I am longing for now is some solace or something to keep me occupied.
It feels like yesterday, those happy days of craving a never-ending bliss with Anna. It can’t be true that this love has had such a sad and irreparable ending, that Anna has been dead for so many years now, that everything has faded away. No, I can’t believe it. Nine whole years without her…
“Why do you keep torturing yourself by thinking about all that?” they ask me. I understand. I need closure, but it is hard to find.
You do not know. Our love was no ordinary love. We were still at school when we fell in love with each other. Since then I had been imagining her name next to mine.
That man who brought destruction into our lives and sent her to the grave never loved her! He never considered Anna his one and only, like I did. He never saw anything in her eyes.
When I was young, I would stare for hours through my window, which overlooked hers. And when the weather was foul, that is when I would not budge an inch from there! I saw the people hurrying along, smiling at the thought of a warm soup and a cosy bed at home while I was wishing that the weather would continue so that I’d have a better chance of seeing her.
“What is Anna feeling at the moment? What does this colourless world look like through her eyes?” I would think.
And when I saw her in the lamplight, holding her embroidery, my longing became a life goal vindicated, my salvation from loneliness…
Only on holidays did I wish for good weather because a storm would lessen my chances to happen upon Anna and her family in the park. But still, I became nervous. I would have to greet her and it would be shameful for her parents to see me blush with embarrassment.
How happy were the days that followed! Shortly before her brother left the city to study, I got to know him better. He invited me to his home and I went many a time indeed. I swear to God, my acquaintance with Anna was not the product of my own initiative. I never would have found the courage. Those who have loved purely and vigorously in their early adolescence are well aware of that and deeply understand it.

Life is a journey…
To find love,
To find peace,
To find happiness;
Life is a journey…
To find our destiny,
To find our life’s purpose,
To find God and
To become One with our Creator.
Life truly is a journey. We find ourselves constantly searching for knowledge and hungry for information that will help us become wise, but wisdom is not acquired automatically. In this lifetime, we will meet people and encounter many experiences that will serve as great inspiration and building blocks in our growth as individuals. I have learned that we must live our lives, make mistakes, and even suffer losses and heartaches, in order to grow and learn from those experiences. Those experiences, not only help us become wiser over time, but they reveal hidden qualities, gifts or talents about ourselves that we perhaps overlooked or did not realize that we possessed all along.
Our lives continue to evolve each day and we never stop learning. Although the truth may hurt at times, we must go through certain experiences, which allow us to face the truth about ourselves, including truths about the people, relationships and circumstances in our lives. By facing these truths and seeing things more clearly, we are then able to execute change for our better good, resulting in the achievement of peace and true happiness.
