  <default-description>Using a question-and-answer format, Elia Wise has assembled a collection of 22 essays that read like letters from God. Each essay responds to a question, such as &quot;Who runs the switchboard? Is there a God?&quot; Wise then writes an answer, such as, &quot;There is no grand puppeteer moving you around by invisible strings. The creative Source endows all energy with the self-governing power of integral intelligence. Every value in the Universe, and therefore every Being in the Universe, is interactive and interdependent in one integrated circuit.&quot;&lt;p&gt; If this seems like woo-woo gobbledy-gook, read no further. But if there is a spark that ignites your attention, be prepared for a book that explores intuition, quantum physics, the energy of chi, and &quot;essential values&quot; all in one sweeping breath. Like a Carlos Castaneda or Stephen Hawking book, &lt;I&gt;Letter to Earth&lt;/I&gt; should be digested slowly. It also requires you to check your skepticism at the door. This is a writer who eloquently preaches to the New Age choir, addressing questions like, who's dreaming when you are asleep, and where are you when you are dreaming? What is d&#233;j&#224; vu? &quot;If you are seeking answers, you need to ask questions and be available to receive a response--wherever it may come from,&quot; writes Wise. &quot;It could come from the grocer, the radio, the garden or the Cosmos.&quot; And for many it could come from this unique teacher. &lt;I&gt;--Gail Hudson&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>
