Witness how the lies and deceptive ways of this alluring cast are exposed and the merits of cultivating intimacy and integrity are embraced. Along the path, you discover how to face the challenges of sexual addictions, triangle relationships, and emotional turbulence. The Guru: While in an advanced inverted yogic posture, I feel a tingling sensation throughout my body. Then I hear the voice and feel the presence of Swami Sri Yukteswar, a guru of wisdom, who claims to have entered my body. I've acquired some new spiritual gifts, including the ability to speak 50 languages. Pastor R. I. P., John Wayne, a spiritual dowser, and Frenzy, my acupuncturist, all want to perform their version of an exorcism to get this Guru, which I am enjoying, out of my body. Along the way, false impressions arise through all of my senses, leading me to discover I can't rely on what I have always trusted... God's Grace: After my Guru experience, I begin a passionate 10-year quest to find God, Truth, and Love. I am an eager disciple of hundreds of high-gauge spiritual teachers. I plunge into an eclectic yoga practice; experience soul-stirring, guided Sufi retreats; and embrace two Lakota Sioux traditions, the Sweat Lodge and the Peace Pipe. I try to understand Jesus, amidst unsettling friction with my church pastors. In time, the love of Jesus pours out through all my brokenness. Swan Song: This is a love story with a Native American twist. Swan Song mysteriously enters my life. Through a series of dreams and visions, I realize that our life together has begun where our previous Native American life left off. From our past lives, we encounter My Native Brother, and our two children, Lost Son and Feather Maker, whom each convey stunning, life-lessons. Whenever Swan Song and I are together, magic manifests, but trouble is brewing. Swan Song and I weave a web of deception through a secret love affair. When Chief Thunder Cloud uncovers our tryst, it leads to a spiritual showdown.
