Downloading A Friendly Universe honors and celebrates the natural forces of the human experience: love, creation, destruction and essence; and reassures us that our state of consciousness in which these forces dance never dies.
We have free will to use these forces to create our own direction with open hearts or closed minds. Downloading A Friendly Universe challenges us to live rooted in our essence with openness and compassion for fellow humans as they play out their own lives. This is certainly a more graceful way to live.

Downloading a Friendly Universe is a welcome twenty-first century guide on how (if we wish) to recreate our lives and therefore our world. It provides insight on reclaiming our true selves (an expanded version of how we usually define you and me) and the seeds for how to take action. It is not meant to be read in one sitting, though you may choose to do so, but to be kept always at hand.
Keep it near you, as I do, to serve as inspiration on your journey- a constant reminder of your true nature and your power to bring forth change even in seemingly perilous times.

I am still ‘downloading’ from the downloads! I am simply vibrating!
Alexandra Odjonii, cover artist for Downloading a Friendly Universe, Paris/Seattle
Downloading a Friendly Universe wraps around me like a cozy, silky soft eiderdown on a cold Winter night. The energy that comes through is so incredibly gentle and so very loving. It, to me, carries some of what I sense from the writings of Byron Katy and Eckart Tolle. There is a deeper gentleness and palatable feeling of pure love.
I absolutely love it.
I enjoy savoring this precious resource. I don’t want to dash through it. I find I read a little and just feel the energy of it swirl around me in a delightful embrace.
I would definitely recommend it. It is definitely good information to study, feel and ponder. I want more!

This lively and engaging collaboration by Elke Macartney and the Friendly Universe is well-written, clear and direct. They call us to remember who we are as spirited human beings and to take courage to trust in our own capacity to live a life on this planet as though living in a friendly universe.
Each download reveals a sensitivity to how humans learn, providing a meta-narrative that loops back to bring in previously established points, thus helpfully integrating and connecting the four emphases that conceptually ground the book: four forces of consciousness, our awakening to this consciousness, and reminding us of the way we can and do participate in creating the world in which we all dwell.

Elke’s diligent Downloads gently and lovingly remind us to connect with our Higher Selves and, most importantly, to experience the eternal peace that comes when embrac ing life from this perspective.
Belle Harrell, Ph.D. teacher, Georgia, USA and New Zealand
With simplicity, startling insights and immense compassion, Elke shares in her new book the voices of our collective higher selves, reflecting back to us the wisdom embedded deep within everyone and available to all. Weaving the voice of this book into the growing chorus of those inviting us to awaken to our highest and best selves, Elke makes a powerful contribution to the tradition of messengers reminding us and reawakening us to what we already know—Love is the foundation for everything.

Everything Downloading a Friendly Universe touches is energized by a special vibration that is hard to describe. I pick it up, I open to the words, and something wonderful takes place: I am empowered to be me.

In trying to come up with something to say about DAFU, it’s hard to come up with anything as the words stand so perfectly on their own. This is the honest advice that each of us is hoping someone will tell us and here it is- we’re telling ourselves!
If you have any interest in what your subconscious might say to you, DAFU is for you.

She has profoundly affected and helped me to improve my life! Through this book she is bringing to us teachings and assurances that we, the human family, desperately need during a time of incredible change and uncertainty. Thank you Elke!
