About the Book

It is exactly ten years after graduation. It is 1978. Still full of idealism, two best friends reunite in a local U.C. Berkeley tavern. Still not too far of a walk for Dr. William Argent. He remained and became a professor. Simon did the complete opposite and blazed a wanderlust trail around the world since 1968. Both still had the dreamer’s disease and want to change the world. They dreamt of one day finding the ‘’Axis Mundi’’. In ancient traditional Hindu teachings, it is the spiritual bellybutton of the world. It is said that if one were to make the pilgrimage, the reward would be enlightenment. A chance to meet the first mind, to meet God. Suffering would end. Simon returns and invites Argent to a final quest. He believes he has found the Axis Mundi. Argent’s reoccurring childhood dream has recently revisited him, just prior to Simon’s arrival. He is also very much in love and engaged to Jordan, his garden goddess. If one has a one-of-a-kind invitation to live an extraordinary life, and chooses to not, is this a sin? Sin means to miss your perfect mark. So does Argent stay, or does he go and meet God?

About the Author

Called from an early age to paint, J.L. Fitzharris arrived in 1970. Originally from Pittsburgh PA, he was raised on the south side of the city. He grew up in a very traditional Irish Catholic family. Artists are all born empaths by nature and understand things beyond face value. There was much love in the home. There were also clear examples of human nature. Faith and the ability to grow it, is a gift we are all born with. Painting soon called him naturally to spirituality and the desire to learn the truth of reality’s divine order. For the past 36 years he would paint and listen to books while creating on canvas. The cover of this book is the vision of the one wise shaman that would approach the main character in his reoccurring childhood dream. From reading many books and known ancient spiritual teachings, Fitzharris arrived upon the truth that love is indeed the highest law and universal language of all things alive. Love is the answer that is currently in the process of uniting us all, as we truly are, one human race. Love is the beginning and the end of true faith. ‘’The world is not going to the devil. It is going to God. It is wonderful becoming.’’ Wallace D. Wattles / 1911
