Interconnect: Finding Your Place, Purpose and Meaning in the Universe

by Garry Rodgers

This short, yet clear and concise, fact-filled book answers the tough Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going? And what is your interconnected place, purpose and meaning in the universe? These are timeless queries people like you’ve asked since humans first consciously observed the heavenly heights. Long ago, your ancestors used their emerging awareness to question universal curiosities. It’s a natural thing for humankind to look for simple answers to straightforward questions and, no doubt, you’ve queried them many times during your earthly existence without receiving any clear response. To find sensible suggestions, it’s necessary to dissect what’s learned (so far) of universal properties and what’s known about you as a human. You’re a conscious being housed in a physical vessel and controlled by universal principles. You had no choice in how you came to be here, but you certainly have choices now. Those include placing yourself in a safe and prosperous environment, developing a productive purpose and enjoying a rewarding meaning from the limited time you’re granted to be alive. Inside, you’ll find a conclusion about your place, purpose and meaning in the universe. It might be one person’s opinion, but it’s based on thorough research and over six decades of personal experience from an author with extensive life and death exposure. However, for the finding to make sense you need to take a little tour through the universal truths. Ahead is a layman’s look at the origin of the universe, classical and quantum physics, chemistry, biology, anatomy, neuroscience and the life-changing principle of entropy. It’s also a dive into what’s not known about the biggest scientific and philosophical mystery of all—how interconnected consciousness manifests through the human brain and how entropy tries to destroy it. Interconnect — Finding Your Place, Purpose and Meaning in the Universe offers you distinct chapters that tackle life’s fascinating issues. Prepare ~ Take a Tour Through the Universe ~ Discover STEMI (Space, Time, Energy, Matter & Intelligence) ~ Lean About Your Human Chemistry, Biology and Physics ~ Examine What Entropy Is and How It’s Killing You ~ Explore Your Brain and the Faculty of Consciousness ~ Find Your Place, Purpose and Meaning in the universe Interconnect — Finding Your Place, Purpose and Meaning in the Universe takes rare and bold steps towards simplifying the two most powerful factors in nature.

It’s guaranteed to make you think and raise your awareness. Possibly, it’ll provide piece of mind and happiness as well.

About the author

Garry Rodgers is a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police serious crimes detective who went on to a second stint doing sudden and unexplained death investigations for the Province of British Columbia Coroners Service. In his younger years, Garry served as a marksman (sniper) on British Special Air Services (SAS) trained RCMP Emergency Response Teams. He's also a recognized expert witness in Canadian courts on the identification and operation of firearms.

In his third reincarnation, Garry Rodgers made #5 bragging rights on the Amazon Best Seller list, sandwiched between the names Stephen King and Dean Koontz with his debut crime thriller novel No Witnesses To Nothing. It’s based on a true story where many believe paranormal intervention occurred. At the moment, Garry is working on a series of books based on true crime cases he was involved in. These are In The Attic, Under The Ground, From The Shadows and Beside The Road. In the works are On The Floor, Between The Bikers, By The Throat, Below The Deck, At The Cabin and Off The Grid.

Garry hosts a popular blog at www.DyingWords.net. The tagline is provoking thoughts on life, death and writing. There are 300+ posts ranging from rants on bureaucratic stupidity to analyzing high-profile death cases. He also blogs at the HuffPost and does ghost-written op-eds. Recently, The Kill Zone gang invited Garry as a regular contributor.

A few non-fictional facts about Garry Rodgers…

~He grew up around the drag strip and was an NHRA ModProd racer.
~He also raced snowmobiles (sleds) for Mercury Marine on the SnoPro circuit.
~He won a mechanical bull riding competition — stayed on 8 seconds at level 8.
~He was struck by lightning and survived to talk about it (that really, really sucked).
~He was bitten by a venomous brown recluse spider while he was innocently writing a book.
~He was thoroughly humiliated by having to karaoke sing You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog.
~He almost killed Neil Young, the rocker. Story goes that Neil was flying over a tree-lined hill crest on his bicycle and Garry nearly bug-squashed him with his Ford Explorer. According to Garry and Neil, it was a close call. Real close.

Outside of crime writing, Garry Rodgers is an old boat skipper. He went to school and took Transport Canada courses, exams and proved sea time to get his 60-Tonne Marine Captain ticket. Garry says, "I’m good-to-go (from a legal point) to run tugs, seiners, small ferries and luxury yachts. However, outside of operating a few touristy whale-watching boats, I don’t drive watercraft commercially. I just love spending time around the Pacific saltwater near my home in Nanaimo on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island at Canada’s beautiful west coast."
