There is a change underway, a Shift that is not only altering our consciousness, it is affecting every aspect of life on the planet; our political, social and economic structures, the environment, the weather, every institution, all the wars, how we view our relationships, our work, every thought we think, and every feeling we feel. In simple terms, the old habits of thinking, feeling, and behaving that we know as the third dimension are going away. We are all shifting into a fourth, and then into a fifth dimensional consciousness and experience.
As exciting as this transition is, it is also creating difficulties for many who are suddenly experiencing feelings, situations, and emotions for which they have no frame of reference.
But with some basic information about what the Shift is and some simple energy tools to help manage our thoughts and feelings, we all have the ability to evolve our consciousness, release our mental and emotional baggage, and move gracefully and joyfully into these higher vibrational realms.
This book explains what the Shift is all about, why it's happening now, and how it's affecting all of us. It also explains what the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions are, and why they are the most important considerations of your life right now. Most importantly, it provides you with some simple yet profound energy tools that have helped thousands of people move fluidly through the unprecedented changes of this Shift without fear, without effort, without the tension and anxiety that has been, for the most part, the daily habit of our lives.
The third dimension is going away. But we are at the beginning of a new way of life, not the end. Each of us must awaken now. Each must make the shift within.
It's time to release who you are not and remember who you really are.

About the Author
Jim Self is an international teacher, speaker, author, and leader in the field of spiritual development.
One of the few teachers, authors and speakers actually working at the leading edge, providing solid, up-to-date information and practical energy tools to help us keep pace with the Shift, Jim walks with a foot in both worlds.
At the age of twenty-six, Jim was elected to his first of two terms to the San Jose, CA City Council and later became the Vice Mayor. Before completing his second term, he was asked by President Jimmy Carter to be an advisor and the Director of Governmental Operations for the Dept. of Energy. As an entrepreneur, he has successfully built and sold two corporations, and is the founder and current Board Chairman of a third biomedical corporation.
At the same time, Jim has had the ability since childhood to recall his experiences within the sleep state. Over the last twenty years, this awareness has expanded into relationships with the archangels, ascended masters and teachers of Light. The tools and information presented in the program, Mastering Alchemy, is a co-creation of these relationships.
Jim has been leading seminars on personal energy management and the tools of Mastering Alchemy for over thirty years.
Roxane Burnett was a successful art director and manager for two major corporations for many years prior to taking the leap of faith and starting her own design firm. At night, she taught the tools presented in this book and was soon faced with the decision to jump off another cliff: to teach and coach full time. She has never looked back.
Presenting this work live throughout North America, Roxane is also the co-author of Spirit Matters and has been offering tools for developing intuition and personal power to individuals, businesses and professional women's groups since 1994. She has been featured on television, radio, and in national publications both in the US and Australia.
Roxane is the co-founder of Mastering Alchemy, manages the business, website, and the many volunteers. She joyfully creates and presents this work with Jim.
A lot of these "love is all that matters books" give me the reading equivalent of brain fog; I have to reread passages that sound lofty, but once I do, the pretty word fluff contains nothing solid or substantial to hold on to. This one still feels fluffy at times, but I appreciate that it also contains great passages of profound insight from time to time.
Some of the techniques were out there, but I think what matters most is activating the imagination and realizing that the imagination can be utilized for change. If these techniques don't vibe with you, that's okay, create your own imaginary techniques that do work for you.
This book is so full of content that there is surely something for everybody! I have a high number of highlights for myself to come back to and the author offers online enhanced learning with almost every chapter. Its a toss-up between 3 stars and 4 stars, but I'm choosing 3 stars. It is just a little/lot "too much" for me, in a variety of ways. A bit of it is just too complex and "out-there" for me. I don't think spiritual awakening should be complex at all and yet this book seems to make everything complex if not necessarily complicated.
This is a terrific little book if you want to increase your personal vibrational rate.
Many of the chapters have links to audio or video files so that you can practice the suggested exercises immediately. That locks them into memory.
I would have given it five stars, but at the end, the author lists the titles of a bunch of additional exercises, labels them as the really powerful stuff, and says you have to attend one of his seminars to learn them. So you feel like you have just spent six hours reading an advertisement for someone's workshops. Throughout the book, you sense that the author wrote it because he wants to help people (high vibration), but the end makes it look like money is his only motivation (low vibration).
If you are interested in the energetics of healing, principles of manifestation, and how life works,this is a great book that is chock full of insight. it is loaded with great theories, and has tons of very effective and practical tools you can use to change how you feel, what you see around you, and how you live your life. I totally loved it and am regularly practicing some of the techniques with amazing results. Highly recommended!
I know I'll read this again to reinforce what I learned from it the first time. This book has some great tools to carry us forward in our spiritual journey, as well as to cope with our feelings today.
