Between Two Worlds is a classic story of self-discovery and adventure that takes the reader across continents into different worlds. A travel guide, a novel of scenery, settings and locations, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge to the Pyramids of Giza, from the Acropolis of Athens to the forbidden streets of Mecca, from the mountains of Northern Greece to the pear orchards of Mendocino County, Between Two Worlds is not limited by time and space, nor is it held captive by historical, political and cultural expectations. Rather it is a physical and spiritual journey of mind, body and soul; an immigration of a living heart beating between two places. A coming of age novel of a reckless teenager, turned thoughtful young adult, a philandering American youth turned loving husband and responsible father; atheist turned believer, it is a fictional story created from a blend of non-fiction, transcending constraints imposed on us by perceived ethnic, cultural and political identities. Between Two Worlds is a groundbreaking novel that challenges our intellectual honesty. It is the classic battle between good and evil, and the choice that we all have to ultimately make whether consciously or subconsciously. It is a mystery novel leading the reader through unexpected places at unexpected times. Imprisoned by ethnic, cultural and social expectations, there is little hope to assert our personal truth and experience out of fear of crossing into the taboo. Projecting onto others, we perpetuate this repressive way of thinking that prevents the human being from setting out on a sincere path of truth-seeking and self-discovery, resulting in a stifled soul suffering without the freedom of expression, creativity and thought. Between Two Worlds is the natural story of our lives, the innate narrative that every human passes through. Some have the courage to reach across perceived boundaries and seize the ultimate truth, while others fail to achieve out of fear of social chastisement, honesty and the consequences of their actions. Subsequently they live their lives essentially trapped by social labels and status. Between Two Worlds challenges the so-called objectivity of free-thinkers and questions their commitment to truth. Tenured suit and tie wearing professors on University Campuses across the world claim to be academically fair and teach from the bird’s eye view of history, but are heavily biased and unable to see outside of their contemporary political environment and historical perspectives. Rather, they stay within their comfort zone and the well-established lines of what is socially acceptable. Likewise it challenges narrow minded traditionalists who fail to see the obvious, blinded by cultural lenses tainted with nationalistic myths and propaganda. The result of this ongoing reality is intellectual oppression and enslavement that draws us according to how others would perceive us, not allowing us to assert who we are. This empowering novel is a spiritual awakening, a reminder of how few have the courage to break out of social parameters, seek out the truth and act on it.
