The Chitta Niyama Opportunity: Realities of Meaning Trilogy Book 1, (Paperback)

Richard Easton is a highly talented but petulant artist grown cynical through the failures of those closest to him to conform to his own desires. Yet he has left behind any guilt about his actions long ago. So why should it have come back to haunt him in a near-death experience and why would anyone give him the opportunity to overcome it and have the chance to become a true hero? As he witnesses the stories of the seven very different people whose lives are woven together by a thread of relationships from his past, he begins to unravel the real significance of the choices he has made. Each of their own stories lends another layer of support to the reality of his experience. Yet could it all be happening within his own mind? The underlying theme of this highly original novel examines the continuity of connections that are described within the Buddhist understanding of the cycle of birth and death. During the journey there is time for an exploration of the human confusion between love and sexual chemistry, to support a new theory that removes the materialist anomolies of time and gravity, to suggest a new link between evolutionary theory and intelligent design, and to investigate the relationship between unconscious processes and conscious awareness. Somewhere between all of this is hidden a manual for the journey to enlightenment according to the Tibetan tradition. For this is a story unlike any other you will have read. It may take the form of a fantasy novel but it is entirely based on real experiences and factual academic research.
