The Time Trap

All things that begin also have an ending. Ever so in the deeps of time must this truth repeat, or else time is not. And so it is! But what of the first instant of time and of its final passing, and of the grand story of everything in between? Who has ever chronicled its massive telling, not perhaps in full detail (for such a narrative few would ever read) but in meat and substance to convey the truth of a purposeful happening of which we all partake? Such is the intention of this book I have lovingly entitled, "The Time Trap."

Originally portions of it came in a dream. Yet, to capture the truth of the night story, a heartfelt requirement came to me to start its full telling elsewhere. The search for this elsewhere place caused me to tinker with the concepts of the beginning (the very beginning, mind you), the transition to the middle portion, and of the very utmost conclusion. So it was, I had to create this book to be true to a dream inside of me, which then needed a proper setting, whose undertaking was overwhelming to say the least. I almost buckled under the weight of it, like a milk jug crushed under a heavy foot. But the content of the dream was beautiful and it had come to me. Was I not called to receive it, like a soft voice who wondrously speaks and none else hear it? So, to be true or not, and like one who accepts to do a labor no one else can or will do, I set myself to the task.

I have not really seen anything else like this book. It starts with the very beginning of time and concludes with its ending. Then it fills everything in between with its story. There are similar writings out there, such as scriptures, which in someway this book will emulate but even those don't really start at the beginning and continue to the end. They go somewhere in between, at least some of them. Some of the holy books actually do describe a discrete end, and the ending seems undesirable to many, but I suppose that the dread which comes from such undesirableness comes because of deception and illusion. If we see truly, without the error which comes from vision tainted by fear, then we know we don't need to be afraid. That is the great and final message of this book, whose sole aim is to eliminate the prison of fear which confines us and holds us back from our true selves.

Thus, to accomplish this expressed purpose, there is a grand cast of characters and a few which are apparent from the beginning to time's termination, including God, the devil, and various others. There are some beings who live well over 10,000 years. There are other planets and earths involved in the telling of this tale, and visitors who travel between the stars to influence and await the moment of preparedness when their messages no longer fall on deaf ears. There are physical and psychological realms entered into and left when a person isn't quite prepared and needs a reconsideration of the truths harbored deep within them. There is truth as well as deception also found within the reality of the book's pages, which the reader is brought into to consider for him or herself. There are heroes and villains. There is religion and science. There are symbols and images to be figured out whose truth and meaning can only be discovered by the juncture of the heart and mind. There is love, there is hate. There is unimaginable torture done in the name of goodness, and there is true and heartfelt love which in turn leads to ultimate betrayal. However, in the end, all things are set to right and willingly so. Every last component is restored to the state of grace that was at once found in the innocence of start, though now with elaborate and profound understanding. Such is the nature and purpose of this book, to ascribe to all things a greatness which combines each fractional piece, no matter how lost or confused, in a wondrous and universal whole. All this within the confines of the first and last second I have called "The Time Trap."
