In the evolution of spiritual awareness, there are many heroes. A special thanks is in order to Larry Dossey, for his pioneering popularization of the scientific research on prayer and intention; also to Marilyn Schlitz, who continues to push the development of new studies on human intentionality for the Institute of Noetic Sciences. In nutrition, recognition must be given to the acid/alkaline work of Theodore A. Baroody and Robert Young.
Personally, I must thank Albert Gaulden, John Winthrop Austin, John Diamond, and Claire Zion, who all continue to make special contributions to this work. And most of all, a special thanks to Salle Merrill Redfield, whose intuition and faith-power serve as a constant reminder of the mystery.
