In September 11: A Case For A Higher Purpose, Lauren Tratar has provided an invaluable perspective in which to regard this horrible happening. She is immensely courageous in showing us why, what is commonly viewed as "a tragedy caused by terrorism" cannot be explained as simply as that. Every thinking person realizes that our world is changing dramatically, and searching for understanding and NEW solutions -- not the customary call for vengeance -- is vital for the survival of civilization! History is proof that violence cures nothing -- it only breeds more violence, never peace or harmony, so surely it is time that we ask not only why hatred and hostility abound, but how we can overcome this. This book lets us know why we MUST heal those wounds of the spirit that lead to inhuman ways of treating each other and shows that the pathway to this is through the soul, through love replacing the self-perpetuating hatred born of vengefulness. Except for the visionaries such as Lauren Tratar, we are slow to recognize and slower still to accept the need for change. It takes something as powerful as 9/11 to jar us from apathy into committed action to making a "better world." Bravo to this author for her wise and spiritually sound suggestions for how we can -- and why we MUST! -- create that world.

This is a book that bestows great comfort and helps the reader to "make sense" out of what appears such a senseless tragedy. And if you haven't read Lauren's book, "LIFE, A Complete Operating Manual (subtitle) The Secret to Life Unveiled: Who You Really Are, How Life Really Operates, and How to Unleash the Incredible Power Within!", do you have a TREAT in store!... I appreciate Lauren Tratar so much for offering this very magnificent, important work!

This book is full of unconnected borrowed material. It would be a poor high school research paper. All the ideas are in other material, and other authors are, at least, aritculate.

Having talked to Lauren Tratar personally I found her to be very uplifting & enthusiastic. I feel her motive in writing this book was coming from a higher principal. The book represents our personal responsibility in how we understand & respond to major tragic events. Her intent is to guide us to an understanding that we have to have peace in our hearts & minds, and this is done by forgiveness, changing our attitudes, & a willingness to stretch our thoughts beyond the obvious.The research I found to be very helpful. I would recommend it, as we use it in our Sunday School class.

As I read through books like this one, "The Song of an Emerald Dove" by Xanna Vinson, and "Urgent Message from Mother" by Dr. Jane Shinoda Bollen, I am more and more convinced that it is time that we change the careening pace of world turmoil and make it a season of grace, of yin-understanding, compassion and action. Buy all three and hold lots of book discussions, and then go out and make little changes, ones that will grow into big changes.

While this book works with passages and segments that are brought together from other thinkers, it is a very good synopsis of all "that day" must mean to all of us if we are to heal within and without. We are not alone in this grand scheme, and we must take each others hands and work together.

The book is a must read for us all!!!! I was amazed at how guided Lauren was in writing this book. I see and hear Angels and the Angels confirmed all this to be true. If we see things through love instead of hate our world would no longer be in chaos. Lauren eliquently states the facts of love verses hate. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

This book does an excellent job in helping the reader turn their thoughts from despair and anger to hope and potential. Lauren Trottar has done an outstanding job through her various research venues in building for the reader the tools of creating one's own reality. This books brings new light to the power that each of us as a human being brings through the power of our own thinking. I highly recommend the book.

Anyone who is seeking a way to extract meaning from the events of September 11th, should read "A Case for the Higher Purpose." Author Lauren Tratar's exhaustive research explores both spiritual and scientific sources that compel the reader to delve deeply into the impact of individual and collective consciousness upon outward events. As she points out, we can no longer afford the luxury of relinquishing personal responsibility for the thoughts and words that we transmit to the world. Reminding us that our thoughts shape our reality, Ms. Tratar also provides great hope for the future. If 9/11 truly is a "wake-up call," anyone who reads this book with an open mind, will be encouraged to view their own life from a more enlightened perspective. This is unlinke any other book that has been published on this subject. It can change your life forever!
