I have written and self-published the first book in a trilogy focused on three main characters who are enlightened beings bringing balance between light and dark in the Universe. It is essentially a romantic thriller, but I have felt for some time now that I also want to get the central tenet of my book more out, more starkly said than perhaps it is in my book. So, here it is.
The world is not a happy place right now, I don’t think anyone can disagree with that. It is divided as never before with real hatred being shown on all sides of the debate. Hatred that leads to violence, bloodshed and death in some instances. This sense that ‘I am right and if you don’t agree with me, you are so wrong I need to wipe your views from the earth’. We have seen it in religion for millennia, we have seen it in politics for centuries, and now we are seeing it in issues such as gender identification. All three all at the same time now. We appear to be in a situation where ‘live and let live’ is just not possible which is realistically nonsensical. Why can’t we do that? Why can’t people who want to live a certain way, vote a certain way, have a certain faith just accept that others just…don’t? What does it matter if someone is, say, gay and you’re heterosexual? If the colour of someone else’s skin is different to yours? If one person is Muslim and the other Jew? In your everyday life, how does this truly affect you? The answer is, it doesn’t. It does not affect you in the slightest. And if you think otherwise, you are ignoring a fundamental fact – that we are all the same. We are all humans. As my son is always saying, we all bleed red. We are all also connected to each other through the collective consciousness that connects everything on this planet to other. It connects the trees to the birds, the flowers to the bees…and you don’t see any of them killing each other because a bird is different to a tree. No, they recognise at an instinctive level that one is vital for the other’s existence. We have egoic minds which means we don’t see things that way anywhere nearly enough, and this is to our detriment.
We believe that we are the apex everything on this planet. That we are somehow separate to Nature. But the reality is, we are Nature. We are as much a part of Nature as the crops that grow in the fields, the animals that graze in them, as the water that flows in the oceans, the fish that swim in it. We are not separate to it, we are part of it. If anything is apex, it is Mother Nature as we find out from time to time with natural disasters. And Mother Nature has no regard for the things that divide us, only we do. She has no regard for religion and politics which were only created to form structure and organisation to human existence, similar to the invention of time which is a peculiarly human obsession. She has no regard for race because we are all one. We are all connected. I read the other day that the missions to Mars were necessary because the Earth would one day cease to exist. No, it will not. We will with the way we treat this planet, but this planet will continue. It will remain in the habitable zone and after a period of time, life will return to it. But humans will be a dim and distant memory while Mother Nature will prevail. We do not need to colonise Mars (and probably destroy its environment also), we need to come together as a collective, to accept that we are a part of Mother Nature and work with all of it to heal what we have done. Then we will not have to attempt to form an artificial life on an inhospitable planet in some sort of James Cameron-esque Avatar parody.
What does this have to do with my book? Well, this is fundamentally what my book is about. It has at its core the message of connection, love, community and collective consciousness which is used by those fighting for humanity through energetic messages sent through that collective to live soul-led lives of love and community. But they are fighting the egoic mind, as represented by the dark-side character Judd, which preys on man’s inherent negativity and enables and encourages that sense of division and separation…ironically via the collective consciousness. Judd knows the truth, he is the other side of the coin to the main ‘good’ character, Lucas. But it is their calling, their souls’ choice, to create the balance between the soul and the ego – humans need the ego mind to survive, just not to live through completely. Judd has encouraged corporate greed, has preyed on religion to keep people controlled initially and now set against each other, he represents the media and their preying on that inherent negativity bias in the egoic mind to keep people seeing the worst rather than the best, he manipulates politics to keep people increasingly chained. In short, he creates a fear-based system that enables the horrors that the world has seen. Lucas, by contrast, encourages a recognition that fear is unnecessary because of that connection, love and community that is open to us without it. He encourages the belief that we can be, do, and have all that we want as long as we are focused on that sense of community. That we serve that community to the best of our ability. That we are all individuals so being, doing and having whatever we want is different for different people and that is to be celebrated. But that, fundamentally, the way to true happiness is by embracing the collective. In seeing that we are all the same. In respecting and loving Mother Nature.
The two have fought each other for this balance for 5,000 years – sharing lifetimes throughout that time and remembering every one. Judd works alone, he does not have any soul contracts with others whereas Lucas has his soul brothers – Nate and Simon – as well as his twin flame – Amelia – who support him in his fight. In fact, Amelia is the one who is unknowingly the strongest of them all. They are humans, they have their faults like all the rest and they have their times with their egoic minds. But they are enlightened beings and have a heightened sense of awareness of what their soul is telling them.
It isn’t preachy, it’s a romantic thriller basically with a hefty dose of spirituality thrown in. You can accept the fundamental messages or just enjoy the book at a different level. But my desire is for a world where we accept that we are all the same, we are all connected, we are here to love and be loved and not hate, not be divided. And that is why I am writing the trilogy I am writing. To hopefully spread that message if people want to hear it, certainly not to preach about it.
So, if anyone is interested in it, it is available on Amazon Kindle now.
