...------------------------------------------------- Top of Form I Peter 2:9 Identity Crisis - Who Are You? We live in a world that is full of people who are lost… We see in our society where many believe that they simply do not fit in… We work in our communities where many people are searching for a sense of belonging to someone or something… We experience a time were many are suffering what can be characterized as an identity crisis. Who are you? Do you know who you are? And more importantly Whose you are? We live in a time where many people, both in and out of the body of Christ are experiencing an identity crisis… In other words, we do no know who we are! I have extrapolated this conculsion, because I just believe, if we know who we are, then there are some places that we just would not go, there are some things that we just would not do, there are some words just would not depart our lips and there are some folk in our lives we would just say “adios amigo, see you later.” We have lost our identity… Some of us do not know who or what we are… And so consequently, we struggle day by day with this concept of being carnal chameleons. You may recall studying about this little creature in biology or science class. The chameleon is a type of lizard that has the ability to change colors change color. Colors include pink, blue, red, orange, turquoise, yellow, and green. Uniquely adapted to their situation and or environment. We have become carnal chameleons, yesterday day...

...pitchfork in hand, at any moment. The town had an off the charts creepy factor. On my right, a dark forest worthy of the Brothers Grimm. On my left, a cemetery edged in a weathered wrought iron fence. I think there were more than two hundred headstones. More dead than living. Nice. There must be some mistake. I came here to start over. Could a new life be hiding behind the unappealing rural exterior? My promised house remained a mystery. I double-checked the notebook with my father’s scrawled directions resting on the passenger’s seat next to me. Technically, I’d lived in Red Grove as a child, but we’d moved before I turned two. I didn’t remember the town at all or the residents, living or dead. I shifted my attention back to my driving. “Holy shit!” I proclaimed as I overcorrected the wheel, and my foot drifted from the gas. The man on the side of the road was so attractive I could’ve died—literally. He was planting something. A tree, I think. Every time his shovel hit the dirt, a ripple coursed through his shoulders and down his stomach. I raised an eyebrow at the glint of sun on tanned, shirtless skin. Dark hair, low slung jeans. I tried not to gawk, but the best I could do was to keep my head inside the window. I was thinking he belonged in a museum, a chiseled-by-the-gods man museum, when my brain was hijacked. I forgot about the road. I forgot where I was going. A fantasy hit me so fast and hard, it could’ve been a memory. We were in the shower. I stood behind him...

...To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. The Secret Teachings of All Ages ———————————— FACT: In 1991, a document was locked in the safe of the director of the CIA. The document is still there today. Its cryptic text includes references to an ancient portal and an unknown location underground. The document also contains the phrase “It’s buried out there somewhere.” All organizations in this novel exist, including the Freemasons, the Invisible College, the Office of Security, the SMSC, and the Institute of Noetic Sciences. All rituals, science, artwork, and monuments in this novel are real. ———————————— Prologue House of the Temple 8:33 P.M. The secret is how to die. Since the beginning of time, the secret had always been how to die. The thirty-four-year-old initiate gazed down at the human skull cradled in his palms. The skull was hollow, like a bowl, filled with bloodred wine. Drink it, he told himself. You have nothing to fear. As was tradition, he had begun this journey adorned in the ritualistic garb of a medieval heretic being led to the gallows, his loose-fitting shirt gaping open to reveal his pale chest, his left pant leg rolled up to the knee, and his right sleeve rolled up to the elbow. Around his neck hung a heavy rope...
