Aliens have come to Earth not to enslave or destroy humans, but to save them from their own insanity.
Adryan Greer is a world-famous artist, rock star, and philanthropist. Unbeknownst to the world—and even to him—he is also an alien from the planet Aerialius. He has come to help the human species through the Great Awakening underway throughout the galaxy. To that end, he inspires millions of people with his art, music, and wisdom and forms the Worlder Movement, which magnifies a message of love and oneness that counters the grip of cruelty and greed among humans. But corrupt U.S. Senator Joshua Stanley, a presidential candidate, sees Greer and his metaphysical message of love as an existential threat to himself and America. He has Greer kidnapped and taken to a hidden facility, where Greer’s memory of himself is erased. They give him a fictitious name, Tyler Boyd, and dump him on the streets of Seattle, where he roams as a homeless man who has forgotten his past and his true purpose. Jett Raaq, also from Aerialius, comes to Earth to find Greer. He convinces Greer’s human partner, Marion Reed, to help him. On the road, Marion sees human insanity through Jett’s alien perspective. If they find Greer—and if they can restore his memory—will he choose to return to his home world of Aerialius or stay in the human world with his love Marion and, together, lead the fight for the Worlder movement? Will humanity make it through the Great Awakening, ushering in a new era of love, oneness, and extraordinary creativity? Or will humanity remain a cruel and greedy species? |
"Awakening Artist: Madness and Spiritual Awakening in Art"
By Patrick Howe
A non-fiction art theory book nominated for the 2014 Robert Motherwell Book Award for outstanding and original thinking on the topic of Modernism in art.
Back Cover “The Awakening Artist: Madness and Spiritual Awakening in Art” is an art theory book that explores the collision of human madness and spiritual awakening in art. It examines a condition of insanity that can be seen in most art movements throughout art history and contrasts that insanity with revelations of beauty, wonder and truth that can also be found in many works of art. The Awakening Artist references concepts of creativity put forward by Joseph Campbell, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung and others. Furthermore, The Awakening Artist discusses many of the world’s most important artists who explored the theme of awakening in art including Michelangelo, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Marcel Duchamp, Morris Graves and many others. Additionally, using concepts of Eastern philosophy, the book presents the case that human creativity originates from the same creative source that animates all of life, and that the artist naturally aligns with that creative source when he or she is in the act of creating. Publisher: John Hunt Publishing, 2013.
