When Nora first began her
research on this project, she knew the story would involve an ancient
Egyptian Pharaoh as she has long been fascinated by the ancient
Egyptian culture. Browsing through the New York Public Library one
day, she accidentally knocked a book off the shelf, which luckily
turned out to be a biography of Akhenaten. His life, at first glance,
appeared so alluring that she spent the next six months researching
his as well as that of his wife Nefertiti. They were both incredibly
enlightened and truly many years ahead of their time, in fact Akhenaten’s
spiritual enlightenment was said to have influenced Moses. Akhenaten
and Nefertiti were also so in love with each other that Akhenaten
never took another wife or concubine, something unheard of in those
days. They turned out to be the perfect characters for which Nora
was able to create a wonderful fantasy. Akhenaten and Nefertiti
have been reincarnating together for the past 3300 years. They have
been entrusted with the mission of The Lightbearers and whose responsibility,
throughout their lifetimes is to be guardians of the human race
and to enlighten any whose path they cross. Through reincarnation,
during each of their lifetimes, they strive to overcome violence,
greed and injustice and in each lifetime, leave pockets of individuals
with whom they’ve shared their secrets of life and death. They have,
as well, been ascribed with the powers of telepathy, astral projection
and psychokinesis. They are highly evolved and highly enlightened.
While they can predetermine their respective genders and time in
which they return, they have no clue as to their identities. In
order to find each other in each lifetime they must determine a
place, a time and a signal by which they can identify each other
as their appearance is also different. The story unfolds in the
21st century where Jean Crystal, Nefertiti’s incarnate, has been
kidnapped by Dr. Natas, whose plan for world domination is temporarily
disrupted by Jean and her husband George, Akhenaten’s incarnate.
Jean and George have discovered a secret about Dr. Natas’s experimental
school, a school completely computerized and roboticized. When Jean
and George are both assassinated, they must reincarnate again and
quickly to save the world from Dr. Natas and his evil plans. In
this particular lifetime, their favorite song was "Imagine" by John
Lennon and so on the first Monday of October, 2024 at 12 noon, they
decide to meet outside the computer science building on the UCLA
campus in Los Angeles. There, she will find him sitting under a
tree near the building with a guitar singing "Imagine." Together
they set out on their mission. Their reunion takes place 20 years
later, albeit not without a hitch.
Preview from the book
The only visible sign of life in the room was the clock on the wall
as it pulsed on and off ... endlessly. The silent clock was behind
the table where Jean Crystal, serene in her beauty, had lain lifeless
for hours. Her soft strawberry-blond curls lay disheveled against
the striking purple silk robe which clad her lean, muscular body
and provided the only color in an otherwise cold and sterile environment.
Still the hours passed slowly. The narcotic used to knock her out
was so potent, she had remained unconscious for nearly thirty-six
hours. An hour later ... suddenly and without warning, her eyelids
began to flutter. The closer to consciousness she came from her
narcosis, the more apparent her efforts. Almost instantly, she realized
the intensity of the light directly above her made it impossible
for her to open her eyes, preventing her from focusing on anything
that might provide a clue as to her whereabouts. All she could surmise
was that she was on her back lying on some kind of table, but where?
Her mind was still reeling from the effects of the drugs she’d been
given. She wondered if she were in a hospital. That seemed to be
the only plausible explanation at that point. But why? She just
couldn’t remember why. She tried to make her mind race from one
thought to another, hoping all the while something would click,
but she couldn’t. And George, where was George? Trying to fight
the lights was not only futile, it was also exhausting and she was
wasting precious time and energy. She had other means.
