Sadly, the world of today is gripped by fear. You only need to watch headline news to see that the world is blindly spinning through a maze of chaos triggered by panic over the unknown. Acts of terrorism. Presidential debates spiraling into inane, and often incoherent, mud-slinging and shameless self-promotion without true attention to the issues at hand. Bigotry and prejudice based on nothing but the color of one's skin, or the practice of their faith. Children needing food, education, safety and homes. This grueling negativity disrupts our peace and creates stress, anxiety, and suffering. But... what if you could understand that there is no need for this pain... this suffering... this fear? That death is not to be feared, as it is truly the source of birth, renewal, and eternity? All of this without the need for faith, or belief... it just IS? Robert Sidebottom delivers this understanding in "The Death of Time: Life Without Expectation". Through the unfolding of his life's events, he masterfully and brilliantly shares the evolution of his philosophy, and reveals the one Truth. One simple truth... one that does not require a promise of freedom, for it is freedom in-and-of-itself. To you, the reader: Be prepared to question, but be even more prepared to accept and understand... not through conceptualization, but through living. Thank you, Robert, for sharing your insights with us in the hopes that the world will release its grip on fear... and embrace the compassion that is inherent in our very beings... for all things. Peace to you. Kim Shultz, Editor
