    John Alexander Rawson

    The Author is happily married with two sons and a large cat. John Alexander Rawson has twenty-five years’ experience in various roles in New Zealand Social Services and aligned industries. He has an Honours Degree in Psychology and Education. He ran his own counselling practice for four years and currently works with youth, some children, and adults. He loves thinking about thinking. Current research and worldwide trends are consistent with John's thinking that God is now not only proved by faith, but also by science. Consciousness and creativity are all consistent with these theses. This book touches on these important themes of God, consciousness, and science, using dollops of imagination and generous spoonfuls of fun.

      I was wondering how to begin writing this. I stared at the blank page and it stared back at me. I had so much to say, but the words didn’t seem to be to hand: perhaps the subject was just too complex. It must have been like this when my grandma first

      ZARA'S POWER

      What would you do if you had it?

      by John Alexander Rawson

      I dedicate this book to my wife Lily and sons Joshua and Caleb. I love them dearly and I am blessed to have such a family.

      I honour my God and my church. My understanding of God and who He is deepens every day. His love is unfailing.

      Introduction

      The little Zot

      Imagine something as small as can be.

      Then cut that in half.

      That is a zot.

      It is the final word.

      On anything.

      It is so very small.

      Invisible.

      However when spoken, it magically expands to fill all the available space.

      After a zot is spoken, there follows a period of time – exactly five minutes – when nothing can be said by anyone within a particular distance of the zot.

      The distance varies.

      We are still unsure how or why.

      However we now know that everyone in the world is born with a certain number of zots.

      Five to be exact.

      Well… almost everyone.

      Once in a while – and not very often indeed – a person comes along who is born with more zots than that!

      Once spoken, the zot would manifest itself in different ways depending on the people and circumstances involved. Therefore for some it meant they could not even text their objection to the person who spoke the zot.

      Others, when finding that they were unable to voice their concerns, would try to write something down on a bit of paper – to bypass the zot.

      However somehow the zot would 'know' and what resulted was either a scribbled mess of illegible writing, no writing at all, or even a written 'I agree' when what they had meant to write was 'I object!'

      Others would try to email their objection to whatever had been spoken or written or texted or communicated by the person who spoke the zot.

      Their emails either would return to the sender, fail to put the recipient down correctly in the 'To' box, or
