Hi, Im from Australia.

What could the title of this book possibly refer to that is any sense real?

The cover is dreadful.
Why?
Because God IS THE Beautiful, and the Process that IS True Religion is a celebration of THE Beautiful.Anything less than that is an abomination.

Plus what do you REALLY know about what happened 2000 years ago? Or even yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock?

What do you REALLY know about "Paul", or your own self?

Where do you begin and end?
To comprehensively account for your own appearance here in 2009 you would have to take into account how the entire Cosmic Process, with all of its space-time paradoxes, somehow coalesced into creating the body-mind complex that you now identify with—and of course everything "else" too. Because there is not a jot of separation to be found any-"where".

IT is all a simultaneously arising INDIVISIBLE UNITY.And always was.

How then could there possibly be something called the "deliverance of god"?

And why in 2009, when all of the Sacred Scriptures of the Great Tradition of Humankind are freely available to anyone with an internet connection, does everything have to turn out to be Christian, or based on the writings of authors who lived 2000 years ago by the members of a (then) tiny religious cult.

And besides which two thirds of the worlds population are NOT Christian–so of what relevance is this archaic cultic nonsense to them?
