This book is poised to defy traditional boundaries as it delves into deep questions of spirituality, identity, and destiny.
The novel is based on the life of Dr. Stefano Mondi, a contemporary scientist who, through a strange and transformative dream, is transported back to the ancient world of Jerusalem in the period of Christ. As Stefano struggles to get accustomed to this new reality, he meets the powerful historical leaders and spiritual masters, such as the mysterious Teacher of Righteousness - Yeshua and the community of the Essenes. In a succession of existence-altering experiences, Stefano becomes swept into a saga questioning not only his individual faith, but also the very fabric of truth, divine volition, and humankind's capability to transform.
Throughout the narrative, the Creator is described as an unmanifest Architect whose essence is infinite and beyond human comprehension. He does not directly intervene in the affairs of the world but instead creates Sons and Daughters—rulers of each star system. The Solar Son Christ has incarnated on Earth multiple times throughout human history. He has appeared in the forms of Orpheus, Krishna, Akhenaten, Hermes, and Yeshua, always at pivotal moments. The essence of Christ has manifested in two aspects, representing both the masculine and feminine principles. All these mystical secrets will be revealed to Stefano as well as the magic of the eternal love when he meets Thea, the destiny of his Soul.
In Lalayan’s book the Soul always remains on the divine plane, while a part of it incarnates in a physical body to experience earthly existence. At the end of each life, the flame returns to the Soul, contributing its accumulated wisdom. This is the true understanding of the "Father"—not a distant or intangible God, but the divine Soul within each person, guiding and inspiring the Spirit as it evolves.
Lalayan dedicates this book to all those on the journey of spiritual awakening, recognizing the many paths to divinity yet establishing that the Truth is one. Awakening is guaranteed to be a thought-evoking read for those who would merge ancient spiritual philosophies with modern concepts of self-realization.
