New Title for Books--A Grand Theory of Everything

A couple of days ago I received new insight and inspiration for the title of by book effort that is exploring spirituality and science. This came about a week after returning from a Hay House cruise in the Caribbean where I attended a writer's workshop. There I learned a lot about the process of finding a traditional book publisher vs. self publishing. A key part of this is writing a book proposal: first to obtain a book agent and then a publisher. As part of the workshop handouts, they gave the example of a top-quality book proposal. When I got back from the cruise, I researched the book proposal author and her proposed book on Amazon to see how her book turned out. Well, there were lots of changes, including a major title change.

This got me thinking about my book project and whether or not I needed a title that is more descriptive of my books' content. That's when the new title came to me. The new overall title is "A Grand Theory of Everything." I am getting used to it even though it is very grandiose. The theory of everything (TOE) is used in physics to represent the goal of obtaining a physical theory that covers all of the known, basic physical phenomena. Physicists have made significant progress towards this in quantum mechanic's Standard Model, but they have not been able in include the phenomena of gravity that is current covered in Einstein's general theory of relativity. In my "theory" as presented in the two books, the underlying basis for everything is spiritual phenomena and the consciousness of souls "spun" off from source God. So in that light, I think the title is a good fit. I have also made slight changes to the Book 1 subtitle. It is now:

Book 1 - Scientific and Spiritual Sources for a New Age of Science

Book 2 - Spiritual Sources for a New Age of Revelation [no change]

Let me know what you think of my new titles.

Update on Book Status

As I was writing the book, Glimpses of God and the Multidimensional Universe, I kept getting inspirations to include more material on science, including the comparison of scientific and spiritual information relative to key scientific anomalies. This went on for four or more months, and at the end I had too much material for one book. Eventually I figured out how to divide it into two books; so that is what I have now. I am using the same overall title for both books, but using two subtitles: Book 1 - Sources for a New Age of Science and Book 2 - Spiritual Sources for a New Age of Revelation. I am just finishing the edits and revisions for Book 1, and it will be ready for my initial ("Beta") reviewers in one week. Book 2, which I originally started out as the "book" only has one major new chapter to write and one chapter that will summarize the four chapters in Book 1 that cover scientific and systematic studies of Near-Death Experiences, Reincarnation, and the Life between Lives spiritual hypnosis information.

I am now focusing on finishing Book 2 and getting an agent and/or book publisher. That will be an interesting and learning process, but I picked up many pointers at a Writer's Workshop on a recent Hay House Cruise (Jan. 28 to Feb. 4).

I feel very confident that the two books will provide a significant contribution to the world's understanding of spirituality, reincarnation, nature of God and reality, etc. One of the key goals of the two books is to help develop spirituality into a knowledge discipline.
