From the Author

I have lived with the message of this book for many years, wondering if and when it should be published. In the year 1999, while on a retreat in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona, I felt the urge to complete what had been started so long ago. As coyotes sang at night and rattlesnakes sought shade during the day, "The Next Step in Evolution" took its final form.

It is my prayer that you, the reader, will find within this book the inspiration, the courage and the strength to take a bold step forward and begin the journey of discovery.

About the Author

"I am an ordinary person to whom extraordinary things have happened," is how Vincent Cole discribes himself. Just a guy from "Da Bronx" whose life became something he never imagined. Since taking the next step in his own evolution, Vincent Cole has been teaching meditation techniques, lecturing on the potential of humanity to continue evolving, and guiding listeners towards the discovery of their own potential power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! A must-read book!, October 25, 2001

"Life on this planet, this place called Earth. this spinning sphere of joy and sorrow, of love and violence, of light and dark, is but a reflection of a greater reality" writes author and seeker Vincent Cole. Thus begins one of the most insightful, integral and wisdom-filled books this reviewer has seen in a long time.

The Next Step in Evolution was completed while the author was on a personal retreat in the desert resulting in his most spiritually satisfying experience, ever. The words channeled come from beings who came from God. The words are a simple message for your soul that can encourage, strengthen and enhance your understanding of reality. Mr. Cole writes, "The journey begins by looking inward...to glimpse even a small fraction of God will bring understanding of your own true nature".

The Next Step in Evolution offers more than a glimpse, though. Vincent Cole leads the reader to an understanding of who we are, who we can be, and how. He takes us, for instance, beyond ego to unity with Spirit. He takes us from, "I am a man, woman, democrat, republican etc. to I AM...and the reality of true self and true personality.

Mr. Cole takes us through and past the conflict between our ego-based fears and the power of Spirit, thereby enabling us to heed a new master. The result is totally wonderful, "...to grow into the person God created you to be: a child of light and love". This responsibility gives us strength, wisdom, knowledge and so much more.

The Next Step in Evolution is a doorway to enlightenment. And love, compassion, trust, peace and forgiveness. Vincent Cole has brought us the words of the messengers from God. "And we will always be with you, reminding you of its existence, reminding you there is more to life". Don't miss this one...it can change your life!

Vincent Cole's book, The Next Step in Evolution, can be read for information or really used as a personal guide when one is going through transitional periods. I found it to be very informative and comforting at times. Not only is it affirming but it is also a great guide to taking the next step and evaluating where one has been. I have given it as a gift to a friend and plan to give several more copies to friends who are at cross roads in life. The old saying of " the teacher appears when the student is ready" is very apt in the case of this book for me. Honestly, I was ready for ho-hum and was very pleasantly surprised and gratified by the level of the concepts, explanations and writing style. It is a wonderful addition to our library on understanding the human condition ! Bravo to the author !

This review is from: The Next Step in Evolution : A Personal Guide (Paperback)

You must read this book if you are interested in any type of self-improvement, personal development, or understanding of yourself and others. After reading the first chapter, I was going to buy a highlighter to start highlighting the important sentences in each chapter. I am glad I didn't. The entire book would be highlighted. Every sentence put me deeper and deeper into the understanding of myself and the world around me. I have read several best selling "self-improvement" type books and none came close to the affect this one had on me. This book should be read by everyone. It helped me understand my attitudes towards myself and others and what to do to correct and/or improve on them. I can't say enough about the book, except buy it! You will thank me.
