Publisher Marketing: How is it that we believe our creations to be our creator? During his last day as a carnie, Xavier is haunted by ravens that have made roost upon his trailer. Ignoring the omen of things to come, he overcomes a lightning strike, only to find his friends have been swept away in a powerful and sublime flood. As he struggles to understand his predicament, he's harangued by Chumba, his alter-ego, a Luchador who consumes his personality and forces him to do his vile bidding. Xavier's Airstream carries him to an undreamt destination. When an unexpected voice within a reflection tells him, "este es el mundo de lo espiritual, y ahora, tu estas en el..". he discovers that he was the one who rewrote the message from every real prophet in every time and place. He had burned the book inside of himself. Welcome to the Tao of Xavier, and the Terror of Chumba, where all of life is a carnival, and wisdom and enlightenment are found in the most interesting of places. A colorful cast speaks fluent Spanglish and White Trashish to birth this alternate reality of Airstream trailers and carnies in a cold shower of awakening, a street level expose of the nature of our souls, and a Gestalt deprogramming of our knowledge of the monetary system, mind control, predictive programming, propaganda, disinformation, subliminals, and of the deepest manipulative strategies in use. This book burning is presented in the genres of literary fiction and dark fantasy, examining the nature of competing Wills and higher rebellion, sacred geometry, numerology, black magic, neurolinguistic programming, trance induction, reason paralyzing language, conditioning, and hypnosis. Casually identifying the source of our conditioning, the book's mirrors transcend the reflections of the 5 senses, embracing Will, intent, attention, and conscious awareness. Each page removes self-identification from transient, illusory, relative experiences. A Book to be Burned, and it's en fuego on-page mirrors lead the reader to a virtual arena that step over the boundary layers between consciousness and the materium, the illusionary distinctions between energy and matter, the connection between intent and the expression of faith, the tentative nature of duality, and the ramifications of singularity... without using inflated terms. How does the language you read and think manipulate your ability to reason, and how does it prevent you from understanding the essential nature of reality? Why has religion and science failed you? Why can you not discover the truth through logic? Again, how is it that we believe our creations to be our creator? The answer is simple.
