JAMAYAH -
Adventures on the Path of Return
Set against the Aquarian optimism and affluence that dawned the new millennium in 1995 San Diego,
JAMAYAH - Adventures on the Path of Return is a adventure marbleized with humor, rooted in magical realism, and riveted by the mundane realities of war, street violence, and romantic sensuality. Already in mid-life crisis by a recent divorce and now unexpectedly terminated from a lucrative career as a biochemist, baby-boomer Bob Kramer has difficulty reconciling Jamayah, an unlikely multicultural guru who mysteriously recruits him as an apprentice on a mystical path designed to transform the common perception of reality through three initiations: empowering paranormal abilities, neutralizing self-glorification, and realizing one s self as an immanent function of Spirit.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!
Awakening in the Land of Human Beings
Economic interests of corporatism favor the citizenry being kept in constant fear with the full cooperation of the alarmist media. As a result, the population becomes overwhelmed. Individuals have less time for knowledgeable participation in the political process. People generally end up trusting the corporate state to take care of exaggerated fears that sire confusion, anger, and criticism. Such fears dissipate optimism into destructive depression and inertia, imprison people in an emotional frenzy, and provoke a siege mentality that obscures awakening. And this book is all about awakening! Awakening represents awareness in and of the present. Second, it requires discovering and directing a personal destiny and living this vision. Finally, awakening means working with congenial souls toward a world community and earth consciousness with the values of human freedom, cultural dignity, global integrity, respect for the planet, and a conscious sustainable co-evolution of society, culture, and nature.
