About the Book

Artists, poets and visionaries have heard voices since before the beginnings of history. Some were called heretics, jailed, tried, even burned at the stake. Others became elders of their communities, esteemed for their knowledge and wisdom. In our time, to hear voices is to court the judgement of psychiatrists and of literal-minded believers, despite the claim that their own sacred texts were spoken to the original scribes by God. What if, instead of fearing the inner voices of our time, we respectfully cultivated and redirected these intuitions as an alternative? Maybe nurture a new generation of 21st century shamans... Developing the creative talents and abilities of those who have otherwise been written off might provide surprising insights for the larger society. If a few intrepid souls can learn to find a way to their greater gifts and learn to offer them freely, might they not be an encouragement for others? Too many times diagnosed, Percy, has been troubled by varied psychological maladies for years. Arriving at psychologist Lily State's office in a new town, he's soon writing messages from a lively committee of angels, named Excalibur. Lily is professionally diligent in allowing Percy his process, listening and encouraging him freely by telling of muses from ancient Greece and having him read his writings aloud, among other things. This continues until Lily's personal issues clash with Excalibur's insights and her otherwise well kept boundaries become blurred. Excalibur introduces a quirky King Arthur into the midst of this, also the Goddess Venus, even a moment with Jesus Christ to properly round out the schizophrenic's hall of fame, all as tributes to the most supreme Goddess and the one supreme God. In the meantime, Percy meets a compelling new friend at the library, with angelic ideas of her own, so quickly familiar that they're drawn to explore much deeper interests and their obvious attraction. While this is about allowing the sanity of muse and clear intuition into Percy's thinking, for Excalibur, it's about bringing the Goddess to life in today's creativity and healing arts, while acknowledging her deep influence in the history of civilization. It's a quiet celebration of her very real availability to all of us in our present lives.
About the Author: Jess Freher-Lyons believes we are all here to explore the Mind of God. With this, his first book, he probes the resistance some psychology professionals have to exploring their own spirituality, and how this diminishes their effectiveness with traumatized patients. Naturally inclined to personal spiritual explorations, he has several times been cautioned by various counselors to avoid such activities, as they lead to emotional and rational dissociation. In his writing, he asks that, if we are each a representative of God, and from a spiritual perspective, the very Presence of God (or Goddess), how then can any of us ask any other to shut down such an undying love, such a compelling quest, such a profound voice for wisdom and vision? Jess had a traditional public school education, with a fairly common college experience - but his real education is life itself, the curriculum vitae of an unfolding search for personal meaning and purpose, the meandering path of living, a breathing, evolving consciousness (sometimes not so attuned) in a larger culture that seems to conspire against our awakening...
