Book Description
The New Messiah is a novel of personal discovery set in the 1970's. Neal Shelley is an idealistic poet who falls in love with a woman he meets while hitchhiking across America during the Bicentennial summer of 1976. But despite the storybook beginning, the love affair soon fades and Neal is left disillusioned and searching for answers in his life. In his disheartened state, he conceives a utopian plan to launch a new messiah movement which he hopes will end his and everyone else's unhappiness. He enlists his charismatic friend, Andrew Moore, to pose as a modern-day savior. They begin their mission with a sermon on the Venice Boardwalk. The initial sermon succeeds brilliantly but then Neal's plan takes an unexpected turn as Andrew starts to truly believe he is the Chosen One. Inspired by actual events, The New Messiah shows how American youth culture in the mid-1970's-characterized by a quest for higher consciousness; pre-AIDS sexual promiscuity; recreational drug use; pop mysticism; irreverent humor; and cynicism and alienation in the post-Watergate "malaise" era-was the soil out of which a messiah movement could grow. One of the most striking features of The New Messiah is its play-like format. The story is told through the conversations of the characters. The authenticity of the dialogue in the party scenes, street scenes, and intimate one-on-one scenes will no doubt be appreciated by readers who lived through that time period. College-age readers today may also find much to identify with in the novel's depiction of 70's youth culture.

Book Description
Mimesis of “I Am” provides a modern day presentation of intergenerational conflict due to repeated violence, neglect or abuse. It highlights how repeated acts of impersonation, slavery, and bullying facilitate and perpetuate mental, physical, and emotional trauma in us all. Mimesis of “I Am” demonstrates how applied virtue, desire, and object correlates to the negative and positive biophysiological or psychological reaction or response to situations or phenomena because it impedes social, moral, economic, or spiritual development. The Hot Seat with Esther Hicks was an enlightening journey and fun experience. I idolized Esther Hicks, and I paid the fee to sit in her hot seat, but for what cost? Esther Hicks responded appropriately by sharing the content of our original videos unedited. Then she reacted with Esther’s virtues and carnal nature and created the video with the meme of Dr. Wright. Esther Hicks tells Dr. Wright that Abraham has never made a mistake—I just want the record to be aware that Esther is a vessel for Abraham. I do not believe the Abraham of Many Nations would need to alter my character nor misrepresent who I Am for some social media likes. While the video was taken down after over a year, the effects are lasting and has impacted my career. There is a scripture that says, “Cast not your pearls to swines...” See, the object of desire was Dr. Wright—he cocreated with Esther Hicks, and they both should have been credited for the work. Failing to take this approach implies that Dr. Wright is a swine, so the power is Dr. Wright’s I Am presence as it doesn’t belong to Abraham or Esther to compromise.
