The Avatars of Eden (Paperback)

Some years ago, I had a sudden insight. It fell into my mind one day, like a leaf falling into the still water of a lake:

What if life is not a battle, but a love story?

This deceptively simple question changed everything.

Where is Eden?

Every culture describes its version of Eden as a place of peace and plenty. This story is a universal archetype that tells us that we once lived in harmony with nature, and can do so again. All the legends agree on one thing: Eden isn’t just a myth from the remote past; Eden is our destiny.

The Paradox of Surrender

Love is the mother energy that surrounds, supports, and maintains all dimensions and all physical reality. Like a current of light, it pushes against every barrier, seeps through our closed eyes, flows around, and caresses our physical form. It is present in every atom. But as long as we believe in the illusion of separation, we stand like impassive stones in the stream of Love.

Only when the Mind is willing to accept the Heart as its partner, and let go of the need to survive and protect the physical self, can a full reversal of the misguided hierarchy of domination and suffering occur. The Heart must forgive the Mind and give it Love. Without Love, the Mind cannot take the leap of faith and enter into divinity, for Love is what it craves.

The moment of surrender feels like a fall upwards. The Soul experiences an epiphany. It releases the ballast of negativity. Since it is buoyant—literally “lighter than air”—the Soul naturally rises.

If one person is enslaved, the whole world is enslaved. If one person is hungry, the entire world is hungry.

What do ancient mysteries and New Age thought have in common?

More than the average person might think. Come with us as we explore the strange connection between legends of old in every culture, the wisdom of shamans, ascended masters, unexplained ancient mysteries, ancient alien civilizations lost in time, and the modern masters that connect us with our future selves: Carlos Castaneda, Delores Cannon, and Seth by Jane Roberts.

This series brings into question some essential questions posed by ancient philosophers and contemporary scientists alike: what is reality? How did we come to be here?

Are we living in The Matrix Movie?

Books such as “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot, “The Dancing Wu Li Masters” by Gary Zukav, and “The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra explore the idea that the reality we experience is holographic, while quantum physicists claim it is our consciousness. Don Juan in the books by Carlos Castaneda declares, “The world is a description,” constructed of our beliefs and expectations. “The Four Agreements,” by Miguel Ruiz says that the world is designed by our common agreements: we agree that the world is so and so, and so it is.

Gaia Theory: More than a Theory

Contemporary futuristic movies such as “Interstellar” and “The Matrix” warn of a possible negative future where we are all enslaved, but there are other visionaries understand that there are other possibilities that rely upon us to bring them into fruition, a future that incorporates Gaia theory with ancient wisdom as we create new thought patterns that create a bright future, in the words of Werner Erhard, “ A world that works for everyone.”

"Avatars of Eden" is the sequel to "Unplug From the Matrix" by Aliyah Marr:
