The Essence of Life
"The Strength in Knowing"
New Book Release End of September 2012
Discover the Essence of Life
The Strength in Knowing is a powerful and personal narrative of one’s journey to achieve true happiness and near ultimate awareness. Appt’s life experiences are interpreted to reveal a fresh and essential path to a heightened understanding of beliefs, love, peace, and joy, as well as personal and spiritual development. His book is very different from others in this genre. It is his quest to teach by example, and to enable others to gain a better understanding of their life, purpose, and meaning. The author outlines an explicit path for understanding, and for the opportunity to realize a higher consciousness through focused meditation and a self-observing mind. Appt believes his profound, practical, yet simple teachings will interest and enrich many lives by granting the peace and fulfillment that are fundamental to our reality. His book offers the reader something essential—a practical, yet precise understanding of life as a guide to realizing true happiness.

Excerpt from Chapter on Time
With regard to our age, how do we discern time itself as a denoted measurement? What is time besides a measurement? We know one day has twenty-four hours, one hour as sixty minutes and one minute as sixty seconds. These are measurements denoted by man originally based on the earth revolving around the sun. The Egyptians were one of the first cultures to divide days into equal parts, using devices like sundials, shadow clocks, and merkhets plumb lines utilized by astronomers of the time period.
Can time actually pass faster as we sometimes feel that it does? On the other hand, is it just because our lives are busier?
Time does seem to pass faster when we are busier rather than not. However, it does not explain why younger and older persons that are not busy with tasks or specific duties find that time is passing rather quickly. There are theories that this state of mind is psychological, whereby younger persons not as busy believe time is passing slower and older persons believe it is passing faster. Then there is a theory about our age as percentage in relation to our lifetime, causing us to feel time is passing faster as we grow older because the percentage of time we have left is less. Then the biological theory that the speeding of time is associated to metabolic changes in our body causing time to pass faster as we grow older. I do not believe it is our imagination, psychological, or metabolic changes in our body that makes time pass faster, it only aids in making us feel that it does.
0ne might view being busy with jobs or responsibilities and projects within or outside our workday is the reason time seems to pass faster. One reason might be, when we were children, time seemed much slower, because we had nothing specific to do then. We are now older, our day seems to be more prearranged and we do have specific tasks. When we are busy, it appears time seems to pass much faster. This can be true to a certain extent. However, I am retired and writing a book at home at my leisure. There are no, I have to do this, or I have to do that, nothing specific to do and yet time is roaring by very quickly. The years seem like months, the months like weeks and the weeks as if it is” Monday and then suddenly the weekend.”
I have done a significant amount of research with different age groups about how fast time is passing. I find that the better majority about ninety percent also feel time is moving very fast, much faster that it feels like it should. This consensus is in age groups from high school to late seventies.
Einstein's work abuntantly and amazingly showed that time is relative. In 1907 his General Theory of Relativity showed that clocks run more quickly at higher altitudes because they experience a weaker gravitational force than clocks on the surface of the Earth.
The phenomenon - called gravitational time dilation has been demonstrated by installing atomic clocks on jets and flying them at high altitudes.
Just as Einstein predicted, clocks flown at an altitude 30,000 feet run faster than those left behind on the earths surface.
Gravitational time dilation can be noticed in global positioning satellites which need to have their clocks regularly adjusted do to the time differential.
It also means that your upper torso ages more quickly than your lower, people living on the top floor of a tall building age more quickly than those on the first floor . Time passes more slowly for people living at sea level than it does for those at higher altitudes. However the the difference is extremely small, but is so.
The universe does expand at the speed of light in all directions, and, perhaps more unexpectedly, some of the galaxies we can see right now through the Hubble Telescope are currently moving away from us faster than the speed of light.
I elaborate much more extensively as to why time is actually passing faster in the book; please refer to

About the Author
I. Alan Appt currently resides in mid-west. He lives with his beautiful wife Pam, Murphy the very neurotic cat, and Dolly the vocal yellow nape Amazon parrot. Appt is an accomplished Impressionistic Artist in the media of oil with the sole use of palette knives, and has frequent Art shows. He is a licensed Captain, owned and operated a sailing charter business for six years on the west coast of Florida. Sailing the Caribbean has added another significant piece of awareness in itself to his life. He has two adult children a girl and boy and one grandchild. Over the past two decades, he has taught and practiced intense meditation on a daily basis. He is proficient and Master in and has taught Universal Energy (UE) for (Healing) as well as Kinesiology. He is a spiritual counselor, motivational speaker and an Ordained Interfaith Minister. He achieved certification in Spiritual Human Yoga (SHY) as well as Mankind Enlightenment Love (MEL), utilizing the bodies Chakra system and Universal Energy, studying under Master Luong Minh Dang.
When he was ten, he had philosophical thoughts about life. He became frightened of questions such as, “Where did I come from?” “Who am I?” and “Where am I going?” He tried desperately to ignore them. He finally realized, with the help of age and therapy, that he was not being plagued with this philosophy, but rather finding an understanding of life. In addition, to discovering a unique awareness of the Universe, he has undergone many spiritual events, including a vision of Jesus and an out-of-body experience. It’s important now that he conveys to others what he has learned.
The Strength in Knowing is a personal, detailed narrative in obtaining true happiness and near ultimate awareness through an ongoing understanding of existence. In addition, the book, derived from his life experiences, offers an interpretation and depiction of a fresh, essential path to a heightened understanding of belief systems, love, peace, joy, traditional values, and personal and spiritual development—as well as their application. This book is his quest to convey a learning experience that others can utilize in hopes of having a better understanding of their life and it’s meaning, so that no one need fear existential questions. This understanding can be gained through techniques such as meditation and a self-observed mind, which can enrich lives and grant the peace that is essential to a fulfilled existence.
The Author believes his book will interest a majority because of the honest, in-depth practical knowledge regarding life, purpose, and meaning. It tackles a subject that sparks everyone’s interest, written from personal experience in a language that is easy to absorb. He is ready to provide more of a contribution from his life than simply “being a good person.” Although his book satisfies this desire, it, more importantly, offers the reader something essential—a true and precise understanding of life, and the chance to capture true happiness.
