Is there a map for the spiritual journey to greater consciousness?
If so, how do we find it? And if there is such a map, we see why
Melissa Dowling, who may have inadvertently stumbled onto an
experience of the map as a Peace Corp volunteer in Afghanistan, is
suddenly caught up in a high stakes game where her survival hangs
in the balance. But how will such a map be helpful to anyone who is
not committed to the disciplined work of evolving their
consciousness? Even if they are committed to disciplined practices,
is greater consciousness only a matter of practice and dedication
or is it also something touched by that illusive quality known as
Grace? If greater consciousness is simply a well honed technique
available to any interested party, what happens when it becomes an
asset for those working as professional spies? None of these
questions can be answered without human characters struggling to
understand the nature of consciousness in their own lives. And
these characters inevitably are pulled deeper into the mystery of
facing more questions such as whether or not achieving greater
consciousness is something more than a matter of individual
pursuit? Is it possible that greater consciousness inherently
involves something larger than a single person's consciousness,
such as that of a monastic order or a nation? Is the earth as a
meta-organism itself on a path toward greater consciousness? And is
consciousness, whether manifest individually or collectively, a
benign power or may it be utilized to control how people think and
to promote and protect powerful moneyed interests? Gordon Slade is
a private eye on a case with a cagey client. Blaine Astrid is a
computer hacker and research assistant for a professor seeking the
latest in biblical scholarship. William Dawson, a former CIA agent,
is searching for his lost love whose valuable psychic abilities may
have caused her disappearance. Father Charles "Cloudy" Hay, whose
knowledge of the human soul makes him wary of the power of his own
authority, struggles to lead from behind. Godfrey Adams, a gay man
and an everyman, whose life has reached the place where his goals
have largely been accomplished, is gloomy and depressed. He seeks
spiritual direction to find himself and is not only pulled into a
greater connection with life but also into increased questioning
and uncertainty internally and into external events that come
chaotically careening his way. The lives of these characters
collide with daring conclusions, as they enter the uncharted
frontiers of these questions about consciousness, all the while
exploring hidden scriptures, biblical conundrums, and the Enneagram
of Jesus. The vulnerability and longings of these characters in
their search for truth and intimacy mirror our own yearnings and
suspicions in a post-millennial age of technology. Written with
sensitivity and wisdom, Hacking Toward Consciousness is a
provocative perspective on the possibility of faith in our time and
the possibility of following a hidden-in-plain-view map for
evolving that matrix of human and divine wisdom that is called
consciousness.
