The Multiverse comprises different realms of reality as apparent in its
map.
The first realm is made up of different kinds of substances with
specific powers. These range from the world of pure matter (quantum fields) to
various embodied forms of life, consciousness and rational thought (microbial,
botanical, mammalian, et al.) to the world of pure spirit (angelic).
The second realm encompasses the agents who "operate" the substances.
These range from unicellular microbes to plants to animals to human beings to
angels.
Then there is the realm of purpose, beauty, the virtues, right and
wrong, good and evil.
Finally, we have the worlds that will never end: Plenitude on the one
side, Heaven; and Void on the other, Hell.
Our journey through the Multiverse begins with the Mission Control
Center.
Here we find the Source of all that exists, we discover that Its Life
has no beginning or end and, finally, that It is Tri-personal, Three Centers
in One infinite Mind and Will.
Next, we explore the Metaverse of Mind, the cosmos in which we live with
its five domains of mind.
Underlying the Metaverse is the MindField, infinite-eternal Mind.
We then move to the world of Homo sapiens, the highest form of mind in
the physical world.
From there we go to the realm of pure minds, the world of good and evil
spirits/angels.
Next up is the religious history of humanity that culminates in the
Incarnation of Infinity and the descent of the divine Spirit.
The Incarnation bestowed on Homo sapiens the God Gene, the Life of God.
Those who live with the divine Life offered to them enter into eternal
ecstasy; those who reject it suffer the endless agony of separation.
Finally, you will meet your Secret Lover.

Zane Carter and his sons, eleven-year-old Ty and thirteen-year-old
Joseph, venture one hundred miles into the Idaho wilderness with only a knife
and the knowledge of their Nez Perce ancestors. Danger awaits at every
deadfall and lurks in every snowy shadow as the boys hunt, fish, make weapons,
and build shelter, learning to survive, taking only what they need from the
land, and leaving no trace.
During their eighteen-day journey, Zane’s determination to fulfill a
promise to his grandfather, an Indigenous warrior who exemplified the tenets
of a wise and spiritual existence, is thwarted by a fatal encounter that
transports Zane into an ancient realm as he straddles the thin line between
life and death.
He wonders what has become of his boys. Have they learned enough patience,
resourcefulness, and courage to complete this rite of passage? Will they make
it out of the wildlands alive? Or will the unforgiving forces of the natural
world take them too far from home to ever return?

Excerpt
Opening Scene
By noon, the autumn sky had turned from blue to the color of road
asphalt. Treetops bent in the winds funneling into the canyon from the
high peaks. Stray snowflakes splattered the windshield, turned into tiny
droplets, and in an instant were gone. My best friend and new
boss, Dalton Cummings, pulled his pick-up into a parking spot at the back of
the big, white hotel and killed the engine. “The truck with the
paintings is supposed to be here in about an hour.” He pulled up
the sleeve of his flannel shirt and checked his Timex for the tenth
time. “We’ll leave our gear in the pickup. I’ll
let the hotel manager know we’re here. You see if you can
find,”--He snatched a clipboard from the dashboard and flipped through
the pages–-“damn it, I can never remember her...”
“Porsche Hurt,” I told
him. “Porsche. Like the car. Hurt, like
ouch.” “That’s one of those damn made-up New York
City names if I’ve ever heard one. Her folks never gave it to
her.” “You’ve said that before.” Then it
hit me. I held back the smile. “I know what’s going
on. Ex-game warden Dalton Cummings is nervous about his first paying job
since retirement. What could it be?” I enjoyed the edge I
had over my friend. Cummings turned toward the window. His breath
painted a gray haze on the glass. “Let me guess.”
I wanted to see his face, but he wouldn’t turn back. “The
man who fought forest fires, rescued lost campers, and saved fish and wildlife
for generations to come is afraid of a New York woman.” “That
ain’t it.” “Then what?” He shook his
head, and the brim of his Stetson left a mark on the fogged window.
“I don’t like hotels,” he mumbled. “What?” “Hotels.”
He clamped both hands on the steering wheel. “I’d rather be
in my own bed.” He stared straight ahead. “I do fine
in a sleepin’ bag in the backcountry. But there’s
somethin’ about a little old mint on a fluffy pillow and turned-down
sheets that makes me all crawly.” He shook like he was cold.
“It’s all too fancy.” “Don’t worry.”
I bit back a laugh. “It’s just two nights. You probably
won’t get any sleep anyway.” I couldn’t resist adding one
more thing. “The ghosts will keep you awake.” Cummings
jerked up on the door handle and glanced sideways at me. He raised his
middle finger. “Screw you, Hogan.”

Meet the Invisible Guest in your wealth-biased relationships
Non-Fiction
Publication Date: October 10, 2025
Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing
Successful families and business owners tolerate far too much angst and
pain surrounding their material assets and cherished relationships. What if
hope for a better way was closer than you knew to be possible?
Packed with uncommon insights, boots on the ground exercises, and real client
stories, you will emerge from the experience with a profound exhale of relief,
and practical steps to make the journey from friction to ease.
Excerpt
In the pages that follow, I have endeavored to create more of an experience than a traditional book. Some people will power through attempting a quick read, and others will find the popcorn of a new idea in the pauses we have carefully infused throughout.
One of my favorite mottos is, “Hope is a great conversation.” Through a combination of compassionate sarcasm, tender truths, and dense prose, my hope is that families read for what they haven’t heard and not what they already know. At times you’ll find yourself rereading a sentence or a paragraph. When you do, please know that I have attempted to embed deeper nuance into those nuggets of compassion and contemplation.
Each chapter offers deep thinking exercises, audio overviews of our counseling concepts, and real client stories. In our decades of counseling and teaching families and advisors, we know that personal interaction with the material has a dramatic effect on the depth of influence, and the speed and durability of progress. Beyond reading or hearing a presentation, this deeper engagement helps families chip away at change. If you are holding an actual 3D book, versus an e-book, you’ll find blank journal pages at the back on which to capture your thinking from the exercises. If you don’t have a hard copy, you’ll want to allocate a notebook or journal to do the work.

Perry Prete was born in Sudbury, Ontario 1962, the middle
child of three. His father passed away in 1972, leaving only his mother and two
siblings. His mother re-married years after, and they moved to a small town
just outside Sudbury, where he completed grade school. He finished grades nine
and part of grade ten at Ecole Secondaire Franco-Jeunesse before moving to
London, Ontario, in 1976. He transferred to G.A. Wheable H.S. for the final two
and a half years. For most of his high school years in London, he worked at
McDonald's on Wellington Road. After graduating high school, Perry decided on a
television career and went to Fanshawe College for Television Broadcasting and
worked for CICI and CKNC, CTV and CBC affiliates for a short time in Sudbury.
He moved back to London and worked for a few months before returning to
Fanshawe for the Paramedic program, where he met his wife.
After graduating from Paramedicine, he worked as a
medic in St. Mary's, Stratford, London, and Windsor before relocating to
Brockville, Ontario, in 1984 to work full-time as a Paramedic. While working as
a Paramedic, he was injured in a stationary bike accident which put his arm in
a cast, giving him the time he needed to write his first novel, "All Good
Things." He wrote his second novel shortly after, "The More Things
Change."
In between novels, he briefly taught part of the
Paramedic program at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall.
Perry wrote the third novel in the series, "The
Things That Matter Most," "Highway 7," "The Mind's
Eye," and "The Infected." He has three unfinished novels and
several completed works.
Perry continues to work as a Paramedic for Leeds
Grenville Paramedic Services. With over 40 years of experience and counting,
those calls have provided ample material for his future books.

Excerpt
Drina inhaled the warm air. The vast canvas of glass, concrete, and steel spread toward the harsh, craggy desert where hazy mountains melded with the horizon. Rubén ruled his empire from one of the highest mountains in the area. Rather, the land was more of a gigantic, shrub-covered hill than a true mountain, the perfect vantage point for his citadel.
“Nice view.”
“Oh!” She whipped around and glared at Rubén. “Haven’t you heard of knocking?”
“Not in my own house.” He stuffed his key ring into his pants pocket and crossed the threshold. His mouth twitched up and revealed his dimple. “The doctor says you’re in excellent health. I want you desperate for me. So needy you will say or do anything I demand.”
Excellent health—good. Though if she had a disease, Rubén would probably keep his distance. She notched up her chin. “If I refuse?”
He seized the space between them and cupped her face.
“Stop.” She jerked away and twitched her nose. The irritating stench of cloves and menthol clung to his skin and clothes as though someone had smoked around him. “I’m not your property, no matter how much money you spend.”
“You’re more than that, Drina. You’re the only woman who has ever dumped me. Now, you will never escape me again.”
She gulped, trapped between her captor and the balcony rail. If he tossed her over, the fall probably wouldn’t kill her as long as she didn’t land on a cactus or tumble down the hill. The breeze whipped at her hair, carrying the fresh aroma of sun-heated earth and desert flowers. Dogs barked from somewhere on the premises while the sounds of muted gunfire rent the air. The rumble of distant traffic reverberated in her ears.
As he stroked her blemished cheek, she bit her nails against her palms. “Why do you always touch the scarred one?”
“Because you’re a survivor. Strength turns me on,” he admitted. “When you’re ready, I want you to tell me everything that happened the night the Tronco de la Muertes grabbed you.”
“Why do you care?”
He feathered his thumb across her bottom lip. “You are mine—body and soul. Your history is mine to know.”
She swallowed hard. How would she escape this nightmare? She’d tried twice to flee the distribution center, and Soler’s thugs beat her for her efforts. Would Rubén order Calvillo or someone else to slap her around? Would he do it himself? The nuts, granola, and toast in her belly churned.
A hint of sadness dwelt in the bottomless pools of his hazel-green irises, the unusual shade a mirror to Sera’s. Then a shield fell over his face, hardening him into the beast of a man she didn’t know. Didn’t want to know. “Rubén, I—”
