I’ve written a novel that I believe many of my fellow seekers will find interesting and informative.
THE WAYFARER
The Wayfarer is about a Soul Quest. In the case of the Wayfarer, it is the Quest of the Mystic Warrior. It is an adventure – an adventure through lands no one has explored because they exist only as needed for the Soul Quest.
Each of us, in this life, is on a Soul Quest, whether we know it or not – and there are many different paths. Some paths are internal, some external, some are easy, some exquisitely difficult. There are those whose path takes them to help the needy, those who give comfort to the sick, those who protect children and animals, there is the silent path of prayer and meditation, the active, onerous path of initiation, and then the treacherous path of the Mystic Warrior, the one who insures that all else is done.
The path of the Mystic Warrior is not an easy path, and there are many pitfalls and snares along the way, yet it is not a path of violence and retribution – it is a path of Love, for without Love, how will all else be done?
The novel, The Wayfarer, is about a man, a writer, who is reluctantly drawn along the path for his Soul Quest. He is urged along until, within himself, he finds that taking on this quest was his own decision in the first place. Yet the trials and tribulations are not over – they have hardly just begun, for he has become the Wayfarer, and will prove himself as a Mystic Warrior. Through his eyes we watch as he becomes that rare one through whom all else will be done – the one through whom the greater light will shine.
THE STORY BEHIND “THE WAYFARER”
Novels are fiction. The Wayfarer is a novel so it is fiction; it is fantasy. Many novels have a factual basis, more or less depending upon the story and the author. An historical novel will be based on fact into which is woven an interesting fictitious plot. Other novels bear no resemblance to fact or reality but are very alive and real in the minds of the writer and reader; science fiction for example. The Wayfarer is of this latter sort but with a notable difference – there is a psychic reality behind it.
Even though I have written The Wayfarer, I have never been to the West Coast of the United States (where much of The Wayfarer is set); I’ve never been scuba diving (upon which much of the beginning of The Wayfarer story depends); and I have never been to the Himalayan Mountains or Tibet (where a critical part of the story takes place). Yet these things matter little because they are only physical facts and realities – from a standpoint of psychic fact I experienced everything in the novel and can, therefore, present those things authoritatively.
I wrote The Wayfarer along the way (among other works). I wrote it for no one but me. I say that not selfishly, but to explain that I was not trying to write to an audience or to meet someone else’s standard. The Wayfarer is my story. It was the story of what was taking place within me, at a psychic level, perhaps at a spiritual level (maybe they are one and the same). It is the story of my psychic/spiritual initiation into the Higher levels of the Cosmos. It was my attainment of Cosmic Consciousness. It enabled a joining of me with my higher self and brought with it a wonderful understanding of the Universe; the Mind of the Universe; the Consciousness of the Universe; the Oneness of the Universe. This is what Higher level initiation is all about, the attainment of oneness with the consciousness of the Universe (AT-ONE-MENT).
Is this book a religious book? Is it spiritual? Is it Christian? Pagan? It is not religious yet it is highly spiritual. Is it Christian? Yes, and Pagan, and Jewish, and Protestant, and Hindu, and Muslim, and Shaman, and Confucian, and more, yet is says nothing about any of these beliefs. That is because it is the essence of them all. It shares no one point of view, but many. All who have read it see it from their point of view because that was the way The Wayfarer was written. It touches on beliefs and belief systems from every corner of our planet, yet identifies none. It is written in the first person so that the reader can experience what Hamram the Wayfarer experiences and see it all through his eyes.
