at edges. It is the story of a weird, dangerous, reparative journey into the beyond, sailing into mysterious mists and alternate dimensions, passing mentally and physically conditioned boundaries, wandering beyond the thick exclusive walls of the self into the inclusive openness of the non-self for nine connected souls.

The first chapter, San Francisco, summer 1998, spills the reader over the rim into visionary dimensions. The last brings to closure a long Pied Piper journey of deadly hide-and-seek that culminates, as intended, in a healing.

The reader follows a chase through the breadth of the western and northern United States and Canada then Europe, North Africa, and the ends of the earth to a boundary beyond which European sailors never ventured until the fifteenth century. These are individuals vibrating at a higher level of consciousness and will and moving beyond personal borders.

The thrust of the narrative recounts a synchronous surreal journey of several weeks as individuals magnetically and intuitively coalesce into a group with a unified sense of direction. These are distinct individuals with deep understandings, homogeneous insights, and a dutiful collective sense. They are also a densely woven and shared fabric of lifetimes. This group and the greater Group of which they are a part consider their existential actions beneficial to both mankind and all life-forms, certainly bountiful Mother Earth herself.

In an unorthodox sense, The Ennead Nexus is a love story. Individuals, becoming one, aware of a new relationship and continuity and the need to repair the total unit so as to exponentially progress, evolve into wholeness: a greater dynamic, becoming a more powerfully positive cosmic force. They feed each other. This is love: a creative quantum unity.
