Synopsis

He was haunted by a spirit in the form of a woman he shouldn't love but did. His dreaming seemed to be telling him something, something important, but he didn't want to know and couldn't understand. But then it began, first with the death of his wife just when things seemed to be getting better. And a disaster of unbelievable proportions.Do we share a common consciousness? If we do, can we tap into it? Do we, as a species, make joint decisions in this common consciousness that have an impact on our physical world? Has it happened before? Is there a way that we can really know? Can we truly change our own reality, or are we victims of Karma or some incredibly sadistic god?Follow one man as he struggles to answer those questions and lives in a world that doesn't seem real. A world that really couldn't be real, could it?

About this title

About the Author

Ken Windisch has traveled extensively in his work as a medical device Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs professional. Across four continents he has seen both the good and the bad that man has to offer. He's experienced the ugliness of war in Indochina during the 60's and 70's, and seen the dedicated efforts of men and women striving to improve the quality of life for people with a wide array of maladies and injuries.In his travels he came to see that we are all essentially the same, sharing the same needs and wants, hopes and desires. It's only the variations in our ancestry that make us different today. Even in our religions, he's found uncanny similarity in the essence of each society's definition of God and man's relationship to God. The differences seem not unlike the evolution of language when separated by time and space. The details and specifics change, but the essence remains the same.Those similarities spawned an interest in and extensive reading of many of the religious texts from around the world. In those readings, his belief in the common source and understanding of the nature of our being was underscored. His belief in who and what God is has changed and grown.Ken and his wife of thirty years met during the Vietnam conflict and came to the United States following a post military stint on a contract with the Defense Attach' Office out of the U. S. Embassy in Saigon. They left Vietnam not long before the collapse of the South. Echoes in the Wood taps into the experiences he and his wife have shared, including raising four sons. In the story he asks 'what if--' based on the premise of a common human consciousness and the 'oneness' of humanity reflected in our troubled and changing world. The general dissatisfaction with who and what we have become seems to be the same as that expressed by all of the great religious 'masters' that have walked the earth. And as new information is continually being developed, it would seem we have been in this state b
