Infinity of Being: In the Beyond

“Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation. Everything science has taught me, and continues to teach me strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death.” Wernher von Braun After dying young and violently, Sara Benedict, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, and her friends, Joshua Sorrell, a doctor, Tony Centini, a building contractor, and Bart Heyman, an aspiring actor, all find themselves on the planet Tera in the Plane of Discovery. It is a kind of boot camp from which successful graduates are allowed to move on to higher planes of existence. After the initial difficulty of finding they have actually survived their own death, they come to accept the super reality of life on Tera. All goes well until they are challenged by their leader on Tera, Charles, to use the skills they have learned to aid the people of Earth, which is facing an impending disaster. Nobody wants to delay their promotions to the higher realms, even temporarily. Reluctantly, all sign on for the trip back to Earth on the space ship, the Moby. Freed from the discipline and restrictions of Teranian society, the Earthlings are enabled to love again, but they find themselves becoming entangled in a web of sexual and political intrigue, greed ,murder and forgery, while at the same time facing their own unfinished business on Earth. However, with the guidance of the Moby’s nineteenth and invisible passenger, Smarto, these chosen ones finally come to terms with what the infinity of being means in God’s Universe.
