    Guest Bio - Tom Paladino is a Scalar Light Researcher & humanitarian with over 50 years experience in Scalar Light research and development. Tom has developed Scalar Light instruments capable of administering beneficial Scalar Light intelligence to photographs of people, animals, plants and objects. In so doing, people express an improvement in their general well-being.

    Scalar Light is the fundamental life force that originates from the Sun and stars that brings order and harmony to the universe. Tom theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as Scalar light and that the Sun and the stars are the points of origin, or “the storehouses,” for Scalar Light.

    Divine Intelligence, chi, prana, OM, plasma energy, life force, the Creative Strength and zero-point energy are synonymous terms for Scalar Light. Scalar Light is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by this Divine Light. Subsequently, all spiritual, cognitive, emotional and physical action in the universe is initiated and maintained by Scalar Light instructions. Scalar Light is a new and emerging branch of physics. The acceptance of Scalar Light will benefit humanity and improve the social order on a global scale.

    Guest Bio

    Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.
