The Tourist From the Light: One Man's Mystical Journey of Disc...

The Tourist From the Light is a paranormal romance that fascinates as it entertains and should appeal to those who enjoy a touching love story and a thought provoking spiritual challenge. Peter Mahoney, a psycho therapist and a confirmed atheist has his training and beliefs scrutinized and tested more than he ever anticipated when, John, a very ordinary, average, elderly client approaches him for treatment for extreme panic attacks. Peter suspects Agoraphobia but after regression hypnotherapy treatments the symptoms just don’t add up and Peter changes his diagnosis to possible Multiple Personality Disorder. But a problem occurs when the ‘switches’ or personalities are appearing to come from different countries and different times; Gaius, a Roman slave boy of the 1st century AD, Terrance the 19th century Australian stock broker, Rupert, the 18th century English highwayman, Jenny, the early 20th century English wife and artist and most surprisingly, the Tourist From the Light, who claims to have lived on Earth at the beginning of our time! Is this some gigantic confidence trick or is he dealing with a religious nut serving his own secret agenda? Parallel to this, Peter is having his own personal problems with his imminent divorce from his ex-wife, Jill, whom he still loves. The problems are compounded when Jill suffers a devastating accident, for which Peter blames himself. The two events, John’s puzzling case and Jill’s accident, seem to become inexorably linked and what transpires throws Peter into a vortex of emotions, guilt and self doubt that threatens to destroy his training, his beliefs and his very existence. Has the client come to be healed or has he come to heal the therapist? In a baffling paranormal epiphany, Peter is forced to face a mind shattering philosophy that could change mankind’s thinking forever.
