Once I was calmer, I slowly lifted my head to gather in all of his features. He was not black and also not white, not red, not yellow, not brown. His skin had an unusual hue. It had a color that was unlike any other skin tone I have seen. Looking at his face was like seeing the faces and features of the entire world carefully and masterfully crafted into one neat package. His hair was uniquely blended… from kinky to straight to curly. His eyes were slightly almond shaped. His lips were full. His nose had a European flare. So there sat the daddy of us all. Put all of us together, black-brown-red-white-and yellow, and you get Adam. He was a composite. Yes, the Genesis man looked like all of us… or we all look like him… or something like that.
His clothing was a little strange. He was wearing what might best be described as a combination of a business suit and a heavenly robe. Funny! What great designer from up there helped him with that outfit, I wondered? I thought you could call his style “Urban Cosmos.” Adam cleared his throat again, breaking the silence. Unknowingly, I had just taken another moment, albeit a much deserved one. I had to say something.
BLURB:
7 Days With Adam is a brilliantly crafted work about Adam, the first man, who visits the author and shatters many of his core beliefs about God, creation, the basic nature of humans and this world. He has astonishing revelations about his and Eve's real legacy. After the 7 day visit, he leaves the author enlightened with actual exercises, prayers and meditative techniques that we can all use to access our Divine Inner Power and achieve mastery in our lives. This book is a testament to the value of storytelling in spirituality, and to disciplined spiritual practice, as well as being attuned to the Higher Self and Divine Inner Light that is in all of us.
