About this ebook

A tale of karma, reincarnation and redemption, here is a love story. But not the usual kind of love story; this is about the kind of love that can send the world spinning in new directions without the world even knowing it was done. A discovered manuscript tells of a life that bridges the spirit world and the physical world, and of the young woman who attempts to repair the rift between them. 

After a near death experience, Dawn Bang, a young Chinese girl living in Hawaii, develops the ability to observe and affect events at a distance. These new psychic talents have the power to change the world for good or evil. While traveling out of her body, Dawn, who will soon be known as Xiao Chen, among many other names, becomes involved in the heroic struggle of incarnate spiritual beings to undo a terrible mistake - a mistake of a previous life that is having a devastating effect in this one. This is a fantastic adventure that takes place in the real world of today. It is a tale of the undercurrents of existence of which most of us are totally unaware, and how the growing awareness of the reality behind reality can profoundly change an individual. This book includes "The Dakini" and "The Bodhisattva", complete in one volume.

About the author

J E Murphy, author, poet, philosopher, credologist, student of natural history, anthropology, sociology, genetics, and politics. Novels include A VIEW FROM A HEIGHT, THE GOD VIRUS, THE NEXT BUDDHA, CONFESSIONS OF A CHIMPMANZEE, and AFRICA'S CHILDREN.

A credologist is a person who studies belief systems. I cannot say I have studied all belief systems, because I am sure there are some I have never heard of, but I have studied most of them. What I can say I have learned from this is that the world is a mystery and nobody knows enough about it to even head off in the direction of an answer. Yet still we demand that everyone else stop and look at our own broken compass.

I have been around the world. I have been to Tibet, China, Nepal, India, half of the countries in Europe, a few in Africa, the Solomon Islands, the Galapagos Islands and parts of South and Central America. What I have learned from these travels is that, at heart, we are all the same; we are all cousins; we all want the same things out of life. As children, our souls are as free as angels, but we grow into the molds that our cultures have shaped for us.

I have always enjoyed most the books that expanded my horizons and showed me new ways to look at the world, a way to discard a broken compass, a way to break the mold of culture and belief. I hope that someday, people will say my books did that for them.
