First came the WALL—Love,
Sex, and Immortality. In case you haven’t guessed, the novel is about
love, sex and immortality. Tada! Seriously, the three are intrinsically
interconnected. The WALL is now Book
One of the Aquarius Trilogy. Book Two
(work in progress), the Pluto Effect,
describes the effect if the trio (love, sex, and immortality) is out of
balance.
The first two chapters are most
important. An author must not only grab the attention of the reader, but also
sustain it long enough to make him/her want to continue reading.
My subject matter is not easy. It
is, as always, the matter of the many and the few. As in my novel Peter and Paul. We must never forget
that we are all in the same soup. That in the ultimate sense, we are One. We
need to look after the masses of people from which the few might emerge—the few
who might choose to advance towards immortality.
We are all indispensible—every
single one of us.
On the other hand, while a single
spermatozoon succeeds, about 50 to 100,000,000 sperm go to waste at each
ejaculation (sorry ladies). That’s about how many of us make it to the next
step. No matter, the potential of immortality is inherent within all of us. Only most of us are not aware
of it.
And that’s what it’s all about.
About being aware. About the state of consciousness. About knowing who is the
elusive I AM.
Pluto symbolizes the forces that
cleanse the status quo to make room for the better. Remember the parable about
putting new wine into old skins? The same is true about new ideas. In fact,
that’s what new wine symbolizes. New ideas. New states of consciousness. To
make room for them, “Pluto” gets rid of the old.
The problem I have to solve in my
novel is not only how to get rid of the old, but how to save the human race
from destroying itself. After all, we still need the masses from which,
eventually, a new Chopin, van Gogh, Rodin, a new Shakespeare or other genius
will emerge. Perhaps a new Saint Francis from some other town. Also, in Part
Three of the Aquarius Trilogy, the Seventh Race, I have to foresee a state
of consciousness that is as different from ours, today, as we are from our
forefathers some 2500 years ago—the previous Zodiac. And that also goes for
technology.
Please, wish me luck. I need it!
Nevertheless, my wife tells me
that the first two chapters of the Pluto
Effect are very promising. I hope that she, and you, will like the
remaining twenty-two or so. And then, there is Part Three, of course… if I live
that long!
Thus I wish you all to “live long and prosper”, so that one
day you’ll enjoy the foretaste of the future in my Pluto Effect and, still later, the Seventh Race.
