A cosmic adventure in the spirit of
The Celestine Prophecy, this prequel to the
Worlds Beyond Quartet takes readers on a provocative journey through time and the cosmos. At a difficult time in his life, naturalist Michael J. Roads consciousness split into two distinct parts. His physical self remained in known reality, recording the experiences of his spiritual self, which moved through an interdimensional doorway into a timeless realm.
In this universal state of no-time and all-time, Roads sees humanity split into many streams of expression and views possible future realities. He hears the beings from different galaxies and eras.
Michael J. Roads was born in England, and from the time he was a child delving into the mysteries of a hidden, silent Nature, he has spent his life as an outdoorsman. His background is based in farming, and after marrying Treenie, they emigrated to Australia. During a decade of farming on the island state of Tasmania, Michael went through profound changes, gradually becoming attuned to the Spirit of the Land. This change was to take him away from farming and into a search for Self. Difficult years were to follow, but the inner search was unrelenting. To be free and to know Self was all that had meaning.
During this time, Michael and Treenie experienced community life, followed by a few years of Michael working as an organic farming consultant. Daily he focused on empowering his conscious, aware, spiritual connection with Nature. He learned to cross the membrane separating the material (physical) from the intangible (metaphysical). Writing about this experience became his creative outlet.
Michaels life now consists of writing, playing, and giving Retreats. With Treenie, he conducts five-day Retreats in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Europe. He asks only that all participants be committed!
He is a brilliant speaker. He is also Awake. He speaks his truth clearly, without dogma or bias. He is funny, inspiring, and direct. He lives his truth. Above all, however, he is simple. He teaches no techniques, but, in his own words, "I teach people to practice a Greater Reality, and to keep practicing until the Greater Reality overwhelms the illusion."
He has a dislike of organization, and thus he belongs to none, nor will he allow any to form around him. He and Treenie are free spirits. They are, however, open to correspondence.
