Dear Friends:
As many of you dear readers know, my spirit guide’s story was incorporated with mine in two books; it began in The Messenger and finished in The Well. Over time, I could not shake the feeling that his story was meant to be presented on its own, without interruption. Now, it is here in this book, Lukhamen: The Last High Priest of Amon, much as it was presented in the first two books, with a few enhancements, as a whole experience. As it was meant to be.
This was a gift to me from Spirit, a balm for grief, and a window into another realm of existence, an imprint of the everlasting nature of life. It is a love story that returns from the past into the present with a message: There is no death. There is only life. And we are all God’s beloved. It is the life story of a spirit guide who once lived on this earth. I know of no other like it. The feeling of reading Lukhamen’s story from beginning to end without messages from me or from this present life is quite different. It will take you into Egypt in the Third Century and into the lives of those who lived there – the priesthood devoted to Egyptian gods, their families, the Christians, the poor, the lepers, and what became of them as Roman oppression bore down upon them and ended the Egypt they knew.
I’ve often wondered how eras ended – who “put the lights out,” as they say. This is the recollection of one who lived through such an ending. His story is a glimpse through a cosmic keyhole, a revelation of how one oppressive act after another, one cruel step after another, led to the annihilation of a people’s memory of freedom and intelligence. In these times, we need to understand, we need to see how that can happen, how it can slowly, but inexorably, happen.
It is also the story of one man’s refusal to forget his heritage, one brave act of defiance that touched the hearts of a people who had lost hope. If you have read it in pieces in those two books, read it again, in its entirety. If you have never read it, it is a gift to your soul. It is Lukhamen’s gift, not only to me, but to us all. The timing of it is not a coincidence. Read it to stir your own hope, the hope of our country and all countries. Read it to remember that our memories of freedom still live, our commitment to a home where those “yearning to breathe free” are still welcomed, whose people are still free from bondage, a nation still standing on the foundation of integrity and yet-to-be-realized ideals, a country and a people still standing in the light of humanity.
Read it to give solace to your heart. It’s on Amazon. It will be on other platforms soon.
