| Publisher Description: What if Humanity had not been guided in its spiritual evolution by the founders of the major religions of the past? Why this series of historically periodic interventions by the 'Manifestations of God' such as Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, and now Baha'u'llah? What if instead, we had been guided by a dynamically interactive, ever and omnipresent Avatar?Three friends in Northern Canada; a half-German-half-Tahltan, a full-blood Gitxsan, and an Indian, walk out of our world into an alternate version of our world ruled and guided by something that can only be described as the disembodied Avatar of God, manifest in a variety of forms around the world.What devastating losses must each of them embrace in leaving the world as they know it? What brutal adjustments to their moral and cultural perceptions must they accomplish to assimilate? And ultimately, what solitary and lonely path of sacrifice must each walk in order to adapt and integrate into a world of that kind? Do they even have a choice?Is the Avatar actually an agent of God, or just nature's way of evolving the human race? And in the final analysis, just what does that Avatar thing hope to achieve anyway? |
