Douglas Mercer’s Postulate Like a Pro (featured on DoubleBlessed.com) is a transformative guide to preparing your heart and mind for miracles. Mercer, a seasoned counselor and senior adjunct professor with decades of experience, shares a powerful, five-step method—gratitude, willingness, openness, decisiveness, and cultivating connection to the divine—to become “miracle-minded” and truly ready for transformation. Through compelling real‑life stories and reflective practice, this book empowers readers to deepen their spiritual connection, find renewed purpose, and witness the extraordinary in everyday life—especially when “the universe likes speed, showing up, and taking action”
Integral Theory: Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul takes readers on a journey to understand the contrasting perspectives, or ‘quadrants,’ shaping our world today. Douglas explains the current level of human consciousness and the conflicts arising from these differing viewpoints. He then delves deeper to illuminate the next tier of human consciousness, the ‘fifth perspective,’ which harmonizes all these views. The book provides a clear roadmap for reaching this advanced level, where the truth resides, fostering personal growth and ultimately leading to true unity for humanity. Douglas demonstrates how every aspect of our lives—body, mind, heart, and soul—has evolved through these quadrants and perspectives. He explains humanity’s evolution into this second tier and shows how you can be among the pioneers in this transformation, guiding others on their journey as well.
