Book Summary

Life is miraculous. Despite all of our research and scientific discoveries, mysteries remain that cannot be explained. Or can they?

Do our dreams hold a reality? Which of our dreams recapture our day to day experiences and which have a deeper meaning? What if you came to earth with a very specific purpose to fulfill? Wouldn't you want to know?

Lou van Helden does. Having been raised on a farm in Northern Holland, Europe, his family moved to the United States when he was ten. He studied hard and became a corporate lawyer dealing with mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, striving to fulfil his American dream of having a big house, a beautiful wife, and lots of money.

Except . . . his dreams tell him otherwise. The mysterious Novemvirat, who shows up in his life unexpectedly, has a completely different view of what his achievements should be.

Stirred by demanding dreams and personal stress, Lou's quest takes him to the depth of the Brazilian forest and the depth of his soul, where he faces his own death as well as the mystical powers of a wishing rock. His journey leads him on an exploration of life's mysteries and into the hands of a girl who is different from any he has ever met before.

Gradually, the wisdom of a Brazilian padre and a Tibetan lama merge with the wisdom of his dreams but is Lou van Helden teachable? Will his American dream be fulfilled? Will he learn to understand life's meaning? Will he grasp his purpose and be willing to accept it? Would you?

Join Lou van Helden on his mystical journey to discover the true meaning of his life and maybe along the way, you will discover your own.
