God Above

About the Book

It is said that space is the final frontier, but there is another. In many ways the two are related. Mankind on earth has yet to fully explore the actual final frontier. Indeed, mankind does not fully realize that it truly exists. Mankind is content with postponing the evaluation of this frontier, but the frontier is about to come to man and introduce itself. Its initial introduction came to the human, Andre. As a result of the introduction of a new kind of reality, Andre has embraced this reality and he is about to embark on a journey into the true final frontier. This frontier is beyond space, and even beyond time. Andre has opened his mind to a quest that will only be completed when he is introduced to the God Above. Accompanying Andre is a select group of individuals from two different worlds. Their assignment is to merge the best from these two worlds, with a mysterious mix of another, somewhat mystical, component that is not of either one. This is the quest that will take him to a point that is Beyond Reality.

About the Author

Each one of us has a seeker within us; some are more active, some less. Those that are seekers on the greater side of inquiry need to know that they are not alone. Those who are seekers on the lesser side of inquiry need to know that they have an obligation to press harder. Those who are seekers in the mid-place need to know that relaxation is not appropriate; they have not, yet, "arrived". My mission is to show all the seekers that they are not alone. A key part of that mission is to demonstrate that we all need some measure of discontent. In doing this, I am called upon to stir discontent, occasionally. One of my models for that activity is this, from Matthew 10:27-28. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. To prepare for my calling, I was placed in the City of Discovery. This city is not a geographical one. It can be found in the Citadel of Being. The State of Existence is situated in the Citadel of Being. Being is not just existence. The City of Discovery is the capital of the State of Being. Discovery is the city in which God has placed all our answers. Personality is the suburb of Discovery. Personality is, too, the recreation center for Existence. I am not alone; everyone is in the citadel, though most do not recognize their surroundings. Indeed, everything is in this citadel. Everything, with everyone included, is a member of the collective of Being. The members move in a fashion as the entities of Matthew 7:7-8. Some of the members of the collective are subjects of discovery. In this position, they sit, waiting for discovery to ask them, "What are you?" (Ask, and it shall be given you) Some of the members of the collective are objects of discovery. In this position, they vibrate, waiting for discovery to acknowledge their question, "Can you tell me this . . ." (seek, and ye shall find) In this citadel, discovery is the connective tissue that binds these two members as a whole. (knock, and it shall be opened unto you) In the citadel of discovery, the mind, the spirit, and the body come together to express truth and meaning. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. It is in this citadel that I live, and from which I present my literary compilations. In this exercise, in this place, I am only one of many. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (Romans 10:14-15) To the city of discovery: this is where I ask you to go with me. Will you come along? For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. (Romans 12:3-8)
