<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>An account of reported miraculous phenomena, <em>Smile of the Universe</em> takes us beyond conventional religion and science to explore the outer reaches of human potential. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Why Is the Universe Smiling?</strong></p><p>The word <em>miracle</em> is rooted in a Sanskrit syllable <em>smi</em>, from which we get the English word <em>smile</em>. So a miracle refers to a smile induced by certain sensations of awe, beauty, and wonder.</p><p>Humans have always had extraordinary experiences, often called miracles. An account of reported miraculous phenomena, <em>Smile of the Universe </em>takes us beyond conventional religion and science to explore the outer reaches of human potential. Grounded in true stories and matters of fact, Michael Grosso argues for the reality of a great Mind and for the human ability to communicate with that Mind. In an age of disbelief, it presents a fact-based template for experimental spirituality and makes the case that every one of us, rightly understood, is a smile of the universe. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Michael Grosso has written a sophisticated philosophical and scientific analysis of miracles-a universal phenomenon perhaps never-before investigated so thoroughly in such a sober and open-minded manner. This is a wonderful book, and one of a small number of must-reads if one is truly interested in expanding a science of mind, and in deepening our insight into who we are as living conscious beings. There's nothing else like it: a tour de force, and a unique contribution to science writ large!" - David E. Presti, professor of neurobiology, University of California, Berkeley, and author of <em>Foundational Concepts in Neuroscience and Mind Beyond Brain</em></p><p> "If you don't believe in miracles, you need to read this book. If after reading it you still don't believe in miracles, then you need to read it again, but more carefully. Michael Grosso's <em>Smile of the Universe</em> forces our eyes to open to a realm beyond the tenets of science or religion, and to something larger that is -- for want of a better word -- truly miraculous." - Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of <em>Real Magic</em></p><p>"Michael Grosso describes some of the most astonishing miracles ever witnessed, ranging across cultures and centuries. His purpose is not to titillate or amaze, but to expose the falsity of materialism, which cannot accommodate well-established facts. But Grosso is only getting started. He tells us that 'intelligent and powerful beings of unknown provenance' lurk inside us, and that a greater Mind that we are all a part of, though temporarily separated from it and from each other by our bodies, may be producing effects in us 'in curious, often ambiguous, but sometimes spectacular ways, ' as in what we label miracles. The title of this book does not begin to suggest its importance. Grosso constructs a worldview, in transparently clear English, that makes room for the best in religion and philosophy while avoiding their numerous pitfalls. I found <em>Smile of the Universe</em> a brilliant and inspiring reading adventure." - Stafford Betty, Ph.D. in theology, author of <em>The Afterlife Unveiled</em></p><p> "Here's a sane, erudite and engrossing study that banishes the mists of eschatological obfuscation to say something fresh and relevant to modern readers. Michael Grosso wants 'to save miracles from the dogmatic clutches of both religion and science'. <em>Smile of the Universe</em> - a study of 'miracles in annage of disbelief' - is the culmination of Grosso's thoughtful inquiries into paranormal experiences...For anyone with honest curiosity who takes the time to look, there are data out there worthy of serious consideration, however rare and anomalous they may be...Grosso discusses in detail an extensive range of phenomena with which 'science' has failed to engage, except to argue that they have no reality or causation within the 'scientific' doctrines of physicality and materialism...Grosso's prose is clear, methodical, and open-minded, and like Fort, exhorts us to have confidence in questioning limitations set by others, because 'miracles violate nothing but intellectual provincialism'." - Bob Rickard, <em> Fortean Times</em></p><br>
