FREE SPEECH vs CENSORSHIP



'Emancipate yourself from mental slavery' Bob Marley

.
We are experiencing a time of censorship like never before in this world where the powerful corporations and governments control ideology and the flow of information. We are all familiar with Big Tech's propensity to eliminate what doesn't fit their narrative. Even on the local level, many are afraid to express their opinion when they hold views that might not be popular in their community. No one wishes to be shamed, bullied or accused of being 'racist' because they will not compromise their convictions.

When a society fears this miasmic judgmentalism, it becomes seriously dystopic. A few minutes on Twitter will show the extent of such egoic depravity. 

Its seems the thought police are out there everywhere with their so-called, 'politically correct' agendas. And so it seems there is little tolerance for diversity of views when opinions are expressed that people don't wish to hear. 

And yet, as George Orwell stated, liberty requires that everyone have a right to express themselves and when this is taken away by force or social ostracism, the soul withers. We all have a basic need to express our convictions, values, opinions and creativity. But if we are forced to parrot only what the powerful want us to say and do, then tyranny soon follows. First with the mind, then with our lives. Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm in most countries in the world today. 

Even 'free' countries are becoming increasingly enslaved by mind control. But this couldn't happen if the populace didn't first give away their freedom to those who wished to rule over them. Often the pretext for taking control is done in the name of 'safety'. Sound familiar? Other times it's done by appealing to victimhood or promises of equity entitlement. Hitler and Stalin first gained power by using ploys such as these.

What all tyrants have in common is unbridled censorship on their subjects. Once the masses are no longer permitted to have a voice, there can be no opposition and therefore no liberty. 

So, why would the masses allow themselves to be muzzled (or masked) by giving away their power? There are a number of reasons, generally with fear lurking in the background. And if you don't fear the authorities, they will give you something to fear. But since its the opposite of love, it cannot last. Since perfect love casts out fear, fear is weakened and ultimately defanged where love's light becomes present. 

But I think the underlying reason for fear is a lack of self-awareness. In other words, not knowing our Selves as being powerful divine creations of love and light. Much of our education system teaches us that we are an aggregation of bio-mass, that is born into nature for a brief time and then dies to be no more.  

A conscious human being knows who they are and so don't need someone to tell them what they should think. However, those cowering to the herd will do and think whatever others want them to because they have given over their power to them. These don't mind censorship so much because they have few convictions with little concern about thinking for themselves, or valuing their freedom. Many of these want to be told what to think so they don't have to think for themselves, but just trust the authorities instead. 

An independent person who values freedom doesn't need to be told what they should want. These are generally the wealth creators in society who won't be beholden to those in power. On the other hand, a weak and fearful person is more concerned with their security and so are likely to be compliant with their masters' wishes. We often witness this in welfare states that lack personal self-initiative. Generally, they'll say or do what they are told because their survival basic needs are being met.

Those who are more independently minded are more likely to know what they want out of life and so don't expect authorities to tell them what they need or should want. And so, these will most vociferously resist censorship. This, and 'taxation without representation,' was the basis of the American Revolution.

In conclusion, let me emphasize again we all require liberty to fulfil our most basic expression who we are; free and uncensored. Anything less is to not know who we are. With regard to this, listen to Bob Marley's freedom/redemption song.

IS SPACESHIP EARTH MOVING INTO

INTO THE FIFTH DIMENSION?

That might be nice, even if we haven't unpacked our bags yet. I understand Earth, aka Gaia, is soon to dock at our next ascension station ie Age of Aquarius. Perhaps that wouldn't be so bad. I think many of us would like to wave Pisces goodbye along with its 2,000 years of strife.

If it doesn’t seem we know where we’re going these days, maybe its because we haven’t yet quite arrived at this stop on Earth’s galactic itinerary. Perhaps we’re still drifting somewhere between the two Ages. But you know, as The Fifth Dimension song says, it's only a 'dawning.' While it's still dawning, the sun hasn’t yet risen, however, we hope it will someday. (Btw: the group is The Fifth Dimension? How appropriate was that?)

Even though I’m not into astrology, I try to keep an open mind. Maybe we all get to be hippies again and I'll find me another VW bus. (I had two of them in the day.)

See my post Dawning of the Age of Aquarius https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/dawning where I rely on people who actually know about this stuff.

So, let's say there's something to astrological 'Ages'; the question remains who would want to join Earth on this journey to the sun. To some, it might sound scary… maybe not even safe. And, in case you didn’t notice, we’re all about safety these days. Worse, it might mean having to first wake up from our Piscean slumber to get on board. After all, it would be a bit of leap to get from here to there, especially if we were jumping into a new sphere of love, truth and rarefied consciousness – basically, a heaven on earth. (Geez, I don’t know, what might happen to my investment portfolio?)

Some may say, how could we be headed in that direction while everything is going to hell, not heaven. Some galactic astrologers might say not to worry, that's just normal. It’s why so much crud is being churned up these days. Things need to get let out in the open, detoxified, scrubbed down and healed before we can take in the new rays of creation. Or we would corrupt that too. I think they may have a point.

So anyway, if true, here we are between two worlds (Ages), the one dying and the other unborn, still in the pangs of labour. Or as Matthew Arnold wrote in Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse.

“Wandering between two worlds, one dead
The other powerless to be born,
With nowhere yet to rest my head
Like these, on earth, I wait forlorn.”

I think most of us would prefer not to remain forlorn but believe something good is about to happen… before we destroy our spaceship. Maybe it will be a ‘New Age.’ What if the Kingdom of Heaven Jesus spoke of manifests as The Age of Aquarius? So, let's call it the Fifth Dimension since it would be the next step up the conscious rung from our present third/fourth dimensions. 

Before we go much further down this rabbit hole... or black/while hole, what do we know about the Fifth Dimension? What if we were able to enter this exotic paradise through a portal somewhere outside the space and time continuum? What could we expect, or perhaps more importantly, what not to expect? 

But first, is it even possible for humans to enter into a higher dimension without being consumed? Why not? People die to go there every day. (That was a joke). Besides that, James, the hero/protagonist/narrator in my Elysium’s Passage novel series, found his way into a higher dimension after he reluctantly ‘dropped’ in. However, he had to fall off a mountain to get there. I’m not sure I’d like to take that same approach, although I’ve come perilously close on a few occasions.

Much of what we know is primarily based on the perceptions of our limited 3D physical reality. Juxtaposed against what we know about the subquantum field, makes the third dimension seem a rather narrow and stifling field of experience. Interestingly, the Superstring Theorem of Quantum Mechanics suggests there may be at least eleven dimensions. Still, how could we know anything about that, other than by what might be demonstrated by abstruse equations scribbled on the blackboard?

One possible answer has been summarized in an interesting article I’ve included below. There are countless scientific papers and books written on this topic. You may wish to view a TED talk on this general topic by physicist Brain Greene. https://www.ted.com/speakers/brian_greene  
Or, see his The Elegant Universe PBS Nova video series from about ten years ago.

So how do we as a human race, evolve into the Fifth Dimension so we can align with its frequencies? Is there anyone out there in the universe that can tell us about these higher dimensional realms of consciousness? Maybe, but it might require an open mind to consider the possibilities of what’s not possible to know from our limited realm of understanding. There’s more to the fields of dimensional reality than we’ll probably ever be aware of with our current state of human consciousness. Our DNA/RNA would likely require some significant upgrades before we could access higher dimensions while remaining on earth. Here’s why.

Firstly, dimensions are vibratory frequencies that exist within a spectrum of octaves. We, as mortals on the earth plane, live in the 3D material world. And yet, as spiritual beings, we can extend our perceptions into higher, more refined fields of reality that have no tangible 3D evidence. This is the invisible domain of mind/spirit/emotions that we can’t see. But then, without them, we can’t see anything else.

In actuality, all dimensions in the universe are potentially accessible because we are all of the same Source. But to do that, we must first be able to align with the dimension’s frequency before they can be experienced. Which is why, on this low-vibe mortal plane of existence, few are able to arrive on the threshold of the 5th dimension. 

Okay, back to the fourth dimension; all variegations of our collective consciousness of understanding, beliefs, historical memory, etc. exist in this ‘cloud’ of awareness. Whereas 3D is physical, the 4th is about what patterns we think and intuit. Its range of frequencies come through both dark and light thoughts that contain the potential for all human possibilities. The lower, the denser and more shadowy, while the upper ranges approaching the fifth dimension become increasing light and enlightening.

Through this interplay of dark and light in the 4th, we acquire depth perceptions of the whole as we explore the contrast of shadow limitations in concert with the light of spiritual discernment. In this non-material realm, we experience feelings of unity (upper fourth) and separation (lower fourth.) we experience polarity between the balance of dark and the light. This makes it possible for us to understand who we are through the countless emotional, mental and spiritual experiences we have here.

However, it's important we don't allow the shadow 'group-think’ to override our higher perspectives, such as some do when abdicating their responsibilities by becoming entrenched in the collective thought patterns as if their own. That is what seems to be happening today as the world’s collective fears allow themselves to be exploited and subjugated to authoritarian rule. It has happened all too frequently in human history, most notably in the unfortunate totalitarian realms of Fascist Germany and Soviet Communism where up to 150 million people lost their lives.

Anyway, that’s the dark side of the lower 4th dimension’s thought-forms that remain fraught with disconnected, distorted perspectives of polarity. Without accessing the rays of light energies, the extremes may lead to psychotic, egoic behaviour just as we see with earth’s brilliant tyrants.

The light side is just the opposite, replete with spiritual presence and the ‘knowingness’ of divine possibilities in the omniverse' spacious expansion. For humans, at our stage of conscious development, access to higher inspiration, love and creativity is only possible in the 4thD frequency of light. It is a deepened state of implicit knowingness that discerns truth from falsehood.

Okay, now for the good part! Are you ready? (Just a suggestion, but it is recommended you turn on your right brain, and dial down the left.)

From what I’ve read and heard, the earth’s playground is about to be relocated to the Fifth Dimension. That’s right. Remember, you heard it here first.

This higher realm coming to Earth, as Gaia is now making vibratory adjustments and preparations, will be inhabited by spiritual beings in an ascended human form with an increased capacity to understand unity-consciousness. Maybe we will be able to have cosmic visitors drop in so they finally get to land their spacecraft. Not to say any of these fanciful imaginings will take place overnight. And for all those who opt to remain in their lower frequencies; well, too bad. They will remain unaware of the higher frequencies of the 5thD that all seekers have been consciously ascending over the years.

Those who first enter the 5thD will be the way-showers, retaining their sense of individual earthly identity. Yet they, in their enlightenment, will sense the unity in all.

Here's a couple of quotes I just read (again) in A Course of Love, the sequel to A Course in Miracles that Jesus transmitted through two different vessels. 

"The physical form is not the natural or original form of the created... once the original nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, the physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new nature of the created."

“What you are called to do is... create the union of the human and the divine as a new state of being… this choice will be eternally yours.”

(Excerpts from 3:12, 4:18 of the Fourth Treatise.)

Externally, a new refined culture will emerge as we, humans, remain in our physical form, still remembering our interests and unique focus in life. This 5th-dimensional planet will create a culture radiant with love where all remains configured with harmony and balance. This frequency of light will manifest in innumerable poetic expressions, both uniquely individual and collectively collaborative. In this, there will be unlimited opportunities for these cultural expressions, all being structured around harmony and balance, grounded in love and unity.

The 5th dimension, extending towards the 6th and beyond, is where humans return to the essence of who they were and remain, albeit unknowingly. This is a world dreamed of by artists throughout time, intuited in the upper regions of the 4thD.  

All humans entering the 5thD vibratory zone will be resourced for countless cultural adjustments that are required to bring new physical structures up to speed with Earth. All heart-led souls of this higher vibratory realities will be leading the way as they remain grounded in their collective understandings. 

Celestial assistance will be readily available with all the necessary technologies, information systems, and support to ensure the establishment of the new planetary energetic upgrade. And yet, even as this occurs, one may still at will experience their lower dimensional expressions in the third and lower fourth dimensions without being compromised or limited by them.

All energetic upgrades for the human form will be in alignment with the Earth. The transition may possibly take decades, as those ascending continue to advancement to the 5th dimension. Those remaining in the lower dimensions cannot remain neutral but will devolve until they pass from the earth at death.

Does any of this have anything to do with what’s hinted at in the New Testament?

“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” (Matthew 24: 20 40-42) “After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

I’m not sure, except to say, the imagery of being caught up vertically into the clouds might be an analogy eluding to a vibratory upgrade into a higher dimension where one ascends to 5D, while the other opts to remain behind in the 3rd and lower 4th dimensions. That might have been the graphic Biblical vision for man’s conscious evolution.

If all this speculation isn’t too much for your rational sensibilities, then you might be interested in listening to some of the transmissions I’ve listened to on these esoteric topics. As a writer, I find these helpful in gleaning new out-of-this-world concepts for my novels compromised of fantasy, adventure, philosophy, spirituality, romance, and the afterlife.  

I've included a few transmissions below that I consider over-the-top intriguing whether I understand them or not. Perhaps in these critical times, as we enter into the new Age, we are receiving special messages from certain celestials. I wouldn't doubt it. If so, how then shall we respond? If we are being challenged and inspired to live our lives in authentic love, peace, and truth, isn’t that reason enough?

If you are open and listen to some of these transmissions on YouTube, I hope you’ll find as profound and fascinating as I have. As Aquinas said, "all things are received according to the nature of the recipient."

Here are a few links to AA Michael transmissions you might find interesting. There are over a thousand more.

Because it was going to be Remembrance/Veteran's Day, last week I borrowed one of my prior posts called A Higher Calling and posted it on my Daily Messages. If you haven't seen it before, it's a great story. Read the full post here: A Higher Calling https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/higher-calling  


A HIGHER CALLING

undefined


 
An American pilot glanced outside his cockpit and froze. He blinked hard and looked again, hoping it was just a mirage. But his co-pilot stared at the same horrible vision. "My God, this is a nightmare," the co-pilot said. "He's going to destroy us," the pilot agreed.

The men were looking at a grey German Messerschmidt fighter hovering just three feet off their wingtip. It was five days before Christmas 1943, and the fighter had closed in on their crippled American B-17 bomber for the kill. Brown's Crippled B-17 was stalked by Stigler's ME-109
 
The B-17 Pilot, Charles Brown, was a 21-year-old West Virginia farm boy on his first combat mission. His bomber had been shot to pieces by swarming fighters, and his plane was alone, struggling to stay in the skies above Germany. Half his crew was wounded, and the tail gunner was dead, his blood frozen body over the machine guns.
 
But when Brown and his co-pilot, Spencer "Pinky" Luke, looked at the fighter pilot again, something odd happened. The German didn't pull the trigger. He stared back at the bomber in amazement and respect. Instead of pressing the attack, he nodded at Brown and saluted. What happened next was one of the most remarkable acts of chivalry recorded during World War Il.

Stigler pressed his hand over the rosary he kept in his flight jacket.  He eased his index finger off the trigger. He couldn't shoot. It would be murder. Stigler wasn't just motivated by vengeance that day. He also lived by a code. He could trace his family's ancestry to Knights in 16th century Europe. He had once studied to be a priest. A German pilot who spared the enemy, though, risked death in Nazi Germany If someone reported him, he would be executed. Yet, Stigler could also hear the voice of his commanding officer, who once told him: "You follow the rules of war for you--not your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity."
 
Alone with the crippled bomber, Stigler changed his mission. He nodded at the American pilot and began flying in formation so German anti-aircraft gunners on the ground wouldn't shoot down the slow-moving bomber. (The Luftwaffe had B-17's of its own, shot down and rebuilt for secret missions and training.) Stigler escorted the bomber over the North Sea and took one last look at the American Pilot. Then he saluted him, peeled his fighter away, and returned to Germany.
 
"Good luck," Stigler said to himself. "You're in God's hands now." Franz Stigler didn't think the big B-17 could make it back to England and wondered for years what happened to the American pilot and crew he encountered in combat.
 
As he watched the German fighter peel away that December day, 2nd Lt. Charles Brown wasn't thinking of the philosophical connection between enemies. He was thinking of survival. He flew his crippled plane, filled with the wounded, back to his base in England and landed with one of four engines knocked out, one failing, and barely any fuel left. After his bomber came to a stop, he leaned back in his chair and put a hand over a pocket Bible he kept in his flight jacket. Then he sat in silence.
 
Brown flew more missions before the war ended. Life moved on. He got married, had two daughters, supervised foreign aid for the U.S. State Department during the Vietnam War, and eventually retired to Florida.
 
Late in life, though, the encounter with the German Pilot began to gnaw at him. He started having nightmares, but in his dream, there would be no act of mercy. He would awaken just before his bomber crashed.
 
Brown took on a new mission. He had to find that German Pilot. Who was he? Why did he save my life? He scoured Military Archives in the U.S. and England. He attended a Pilots' Reunion and shared his story. He finally placed an ad in a German Newsletter for former Luftwaffe Pilots, retelling the story and asking if anyone knew the Pilot.

WHO AND WHAT IS GOD?
 

What and who is God? This is a question humanity has asked as long as it has been roaming this earth.

What is He/She like? Does God get angry at me for my misdeeds? Is He/She going to judge me for my deeds and beliefs? If so, should I be afraid? Probably. What can I do to get on God’s good side… because you certainly don’t want to be on the wrong side of Omnipotence? Need I sacrifice my firstborn, maybe with a little self-flagellation and sacrifice to make sure I’ll be safe. (‘Safe’ there’s that word again.)

Some of these questions now seem rather foolish, but for much of humanity’s history, these were legitimate concerns, and the religious establishment did a rather outstanding job in exploiting the fear of the masses for their own gain and control. In some countries, they still do. Kind of reminds you of the fear-based scam going on in the world these days. But back to the question; who and what is God or god, as you prefer?

Rupert Spiro, an Oxford-based, world-renown scholar is one of today's most eloquent mystics, who effortlessly presents a crystal clear answer. He is not the first; the enlightened have been offering a non-dualistic representation of God throughout the ages as we see with some of the earliest literature known on earth, such as with the Upanishads and Vedantic literature. These traditions that seem to predate history are so profound with meaning that few in our ‘enlightened’ scientific (left brain) culture seem to be capable of understanding. (So much for 'cavemen.')  

This short video addressed some of these questions about the nature of God. There are several other videos you may wish to watch if you enjoy this one since he approaches many other profound subjects such as the nature of consciousness. Since reality is a non-dualistic in nature, he might say, all these matters are all related, as facets of the One of all that is; the I Am; that I Am.

If you listen closely, I’m not sure you could remain an atheist or even a religious fundamentalist for long, since both come from a dualistic understanding of reality and a dualistic, anthropomorphic understanding of God created in man’s image. The atheist camp rightfully ridicules this caricature, and the other wrongfully fears and adores their religious projections. Both are wrong; he would likely say because God is the essence of all that is; not ‘out there, but ‘in here.’

In any case, rather than me telling you what he thinks, listen for yourself. I trust these will prove to be both provocative and stimulating.

 

Related to this, I would also recommend; the Nature of Consciousness. There are many other videos he has on the subject of consciousness.

 

 

To pursue this topic more from more of a left-brain academic perspective, perhaps no one is better discussing this than Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist, Professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. His premise, like that of Spira's, is that consciousness is primal, foundational and fundamental to all that is, meaning, there is nothing without consciousness, not even the brain since matter cannot produce what is necessarily prior. Of course, many philosophers such as Kant and Berkeley have been saying much the same thing all along in centuries past.

Below are a couple of sample videos on what he has to say about God. His conclusions are rather similar to what Spira says, only from a more scientific approach that is supported by mathematical modelling.

SUMMARY OF ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE

undefined

 
Elysium's Passage series includes seven novel narrations regarding a young British philosopher named James Phillips who finds himself living in an altered state of reality while still remaining on earth.  

After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who provide him with a very different perspective on the nature of his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding about life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe.

An engaging and sometime surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality and our ultimate destiny. 

The Plains of Elysium (Champs-Élysées) was described by Homer, Hesiod, Virgil and many other poets as the paradisiac afterlife realm reserved for heroes. As the title suggests, this is about a journey through a passage that leads towards Elysium’s exciting realm of existence.

Summary Introduction to Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage

 

After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who provide him with a very different perspective on the nature of his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding of life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe. An engaging and sometimes surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality and our ultimate destiny. 

 

Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage series to be published in 2024

­­­­­­­­­

1. The Ascent is the first novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage series that’s foundational to everything else that happens in the following books, embarking on an adventure that will surprise and delight the reader like no other book.

It all begins with an extreme adventure of climbing a remote and challenging mountain somewhere in the Andean Mountains. Just as James, the protagonist, is about to reach the mountain summit, he falls into an abyss that leaves him in a coma for almost a year.

After being airlifted by a forestry helicopter and flown back to London, where his body remains for almost a year. Eventually, he learns it was not him but his body that was rescued. Several days later, without understanding what happened, he continues to climb to the summit in an alternate dimension of higher consciousness.

Fortuitously, he meets two adventurers on the summit ridge who are no longer of this world. After that, his surreal life leads him to several new adventures in the subsequent chronicles that include a rich mix of adventure, romance, and fantasy, along with profound discussions of philosophy, spirituality and the afterlife.

 
­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

2. The  Summit, the second novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage series, carries on where James, the narrator and protagonist, is taught more about a multidimensional reality that he finds difficult to comprehend.

Not only does he find he’s not as clever as he imagined, but his off-world companions on the summit demonstrate that much of what he believed about life was not just parochial but wrong. At first, he finds this difficult to comprehend since their teachings are contrary to his limited understanding of non-material reality.

After being tricked into teleporting off a ledge where he was trapped, James becomes aware of the new reality that makes him capable of far more adventures than could have ever been experienced previously in his physical body back home.

Now, if only he would win over the only woman in this life who matters, the nurse on the other side of the veil, who continually demonstrates her unconditional love toward his healing.

Warning: This book may also open the reader’s eyes to a much vaster reality than most might be aware. As with the other Chronicles, there are discussions of philosophy, the spiritual afterlife and what might seem like fantasy.

 
 

3. Quantum Leaps is the third novel in Chronicles of Elysium Passage, where James, the philosopher-protagonist, teleports back to London to visit his body and make contact with the special nurse taking care of it in his absence. Immediately, he feels an inexplicable spiritual bond with her for reasons he remains unaware of.

Now aroused by a renewed interest in matters of love, the beginnings of a relationship begin to emerge as he attempts to reach across the chasm of their worlds. But it’s not until the fifth novel, Mystical Romance, that he encounters her in a way that he finds difficult to believe.

However, before that can happen, there is much about his failed relationships that must be resolved before he is ready to move forward in his new life in Elysium’s Passage. It is during this time he christens his comatose body as the fall guy since it took the fall for him down the abyss so he could learn the lessons he’s now learning.

That will be the next focus of his life, where in his next Surreal Adventures, he is given virtual lessons to release many of his past beliefs about life.

 
 

4. Surreal Adventures is the fourth novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage, which finds James, the protagonist and narrator, escorted by his companions to a remote South Pacific Island, where he is left to reflect on what he’s learned.

During the next forty days, he battles the demons of his past as he works through some rather painful issues from his early youth. Here, in a tropical storm, he encounters an eery suspended spectre of the one he loved yet still resents for abandoning him as a child.

After this, he achieves peace of mind and is ready to return to his lodge to join his off-world companions on the Andes summit. However, just when it seemed things couldn’t get any stranger, a sixteenth-century sea captain sails his ancient ‘ghost’ ship onto the beach. Together, they sail off on a mystical ocean voyage to a couple of virtual islands supposedly in the South Pacific, where he witnesses and, at times, participates in several important life lessons.

His surreal encounters in the Flatlands illustrate the deficiencies of contemporary academia. Next, they sail off to the next island, the Hill Country, where he witnesses several peculiarities in organized religion. These experiences, though virtual, provide him with fascinating and enlightening allegorical examples of his life in the world.

Near the end, these encounters help prepare him for a new challenge within the interior of a mountain, where he falls deep into a dark tomb of fear. After being rescued by a mysterious stranger wielding his Excaliber, he continues on to where his life is about to be transformed in the following chronicle, Mystical Romance.

 
 

5. Mystical Romance is the fifth chronicle in Elysium Passage, which will surprise the reader with a romantic twist of how love is expressed in higher realms. From this lofty perspective, everything about intimacy is understood as within, so without.

After escaping his tomb, James, the narrator and protagonist, makes his way through a maze of tunnels until he arrives at a large oak door, which he opens with the golden key he had been given. There, he steps into Elysium’s Passage’s Great Hall, where his life and recent achievements are celebrated now that his eyes have been opened to perceive a fascinating interior world of wonderment… and romance.

To say more might risk diminishing the multitude of delightful surprises as circumstances begin to open to The Elixir, where James is about to re-enter his earthly body’s existence.

 
 

6. The Elixir is the sixth chronicle of the Elysium Passage series that prepares James, the narrator-protagonist, to awaken and return to his body in London. Before that can happen, however, his off-worlder friend presents a mysterious equation enshrouded with a light code frequency that will stimulate multidimensional DNA strands within him.

Much of this narration is centred in London, where his nurse unknowingly becomes involved in how the Elixir’s equation finds its way from a taxi cab driver to higher echelons of science. There are many twists in how she unwittingly brings the Elixir to the attention of mathematicians and physicists, after which they eventually discover how to code the equation into a laser ray to stimulate his fall-guy body into full consciousness.

Ostensibly a new Adam, he is destined to return humanity to a higher multidimensional existence. How this happens is filled with intrigue, as is his shocking return to his earthly body.

7. The Return is the seventh and last chronicle in the series where James, the narrator and protagonist, has re-emerged from Elysium’s Passage as he readjusts to life in the third dimension. Many of the events experienced in the previous novels are tied together in an exciting, fast-moving, action-packed narrative.

Now, back in the third dimension, all memories seem to have been lost, with his fall guy’s brain not being aware of what happened to him in the last year. As a consequence, it takes a while for him to be convinced he had been out of his earthly body for almost a year.

Through some rather unexpected events and his girlfriend’s urging, he is brought to an awareness of much that occurred out of the body. Though much of the chronicle, this brain hasn’t caught up to the changes he experienced in his heart in the alternate realm.

Through some harsh life lessons back home, he discovers what he has become and the many challenges that lie ahead of him in fulfilling his mission to bring change to this planet.

The following comments are excerpts from among the first readers including a number of Amazon five star reviews. To read the full reviews, go to READER REVIEWS on www.elysiumspassage.com or directly at https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/reader-reviews

"A delightful mix of fantasy, reality, conjecture and humour; Mr Meyers draws the reader into the story with a gentle narrative that captures the imagination, leaving one anxious to get to the next page drawing you into his exceptional world.”

"Quietly, gently, and without imposition, the Author unfolds the pages, creating an intricate, interlocking bridge spanning the chasm between mind and heart. Renewing, refreshing, restoring. In my bereavement, it was vigil and light…"

“Excellently written with an exceedingly deep understanding of this world and the next. The characters are very well written and engaging. I can't wait to complete this book!"

“Takes the reader on both a philosophical and spiritual journey, a journey that at times is both disquieting and tranquil. James, a British Philosopher can be irreverent and caustic, traits that should have left me cringing, but instead made me laugh out loud. Elysium’s Passage is a fun, enlightening and remarkable book.”

“This is a masterful fantasy, becoming a real possibility, as the reader is drawn into the story. The Summit leaves you anxious for the next book in the series, yet also leaves you totally satisfied with the world you have just visited. Genius! An exciting, yet calming, experience that is not to be missed."

"There was hardly a page on which I did not find at least one sentence worthy of hi-lighting for future reference. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, James, whose personality and passionate verbal exchanges with the other characters, kept me coming back for more. I am reading the book for a second time while I wait for the next one in this series to be made available."

 “N.G. Meyers has clearly put a great deal of research and thought into what the afterlife may look like and I like his perspective. It’s an altogether welcoming and exciting vision. The book gives one a great deal to think about and a reassuring confidence that the end of our lives is truly the beginning of life in the next. I highly recommend it."

"I am really enjoying your book, it’s fantastic! It is so incredible and diversified that I can’t really explain it to other people, so what I say is just read this book. Thank you so much for the blessings that you’ve given the world!"

“The humour interjected into a serious discussion makes me laugh out loud. Totally unexpected....l may be in the presence of at least a master, if not a genius. A fair ride into reality... seeking that which is unseen, yet absolutely real.”

“An engaging story of adventure embracing man's deepest desire to search for meaning and purpose, N.G. Meyers takes the reader on an adventurous thought-provoking journey. This book has substance. It is a perfect blend of adventure and fantasy combined with spiritual philosophy. It ignited my imagination. The author magically weaves a good story laced with wit and humour together with deep philosophical wisdom. This book has it all!”

“An evolution in thought is triggered by many fresh philosophical themes which could inspire readers to re-think their reality and former ideologies that have dictated their lives… the author fires readers’ imaginations to view what could be possible when spirit vacates the body.”

“This is the book spiritual seekers have been waiting for. For me, it granted a great read as well as increased inspiration to live every day with a heightened sense of purpose. I highly recommend it.

“The Summit is capable of hooking readers and luring them to search for Book 2 to discover more about Dr. Philip’s surreal trek into the mysterious unknown universe. This thick book is well worth the read and to share…”

“Mind-blowing statements and speculation (‘…everyone is a non-physical thought form conceived in the Mind of God, preserved for all eternity because God’s thoughts never die…’). Many will find Meyers’ journey up the Mountain intriguing—and possibly even life-changing.” (BLUEINK REVIEW)

“In its effort to grapple with fundamental questions about the meaning of life, it raises questions that have echoed throughout the ages, including about where we come from, where we are going, who we are.”  (CLARION REVIEW)
