Neon Nirvana: A Romance of the New Age

By Jim Stallings

Book Overview

In what Joseph Campbell might call doing creative mythology, in Neon Nirvana novelist and anthropologist Jim Stallings entered the popular New Age world of "past life regression" therapy; the narrative frames the encounter of a man and woman at a New Age summer retreat in Texas...a screenwriter seeking new directions in his life who is aided by a psychic artist.

The novel uses the ancient mythic plot of the visit to the underworld (here the unconscious stored memories of past lives), as Yvonne Cienfuegos guides Isaac Blackford into his karmic past through his descent into his "life dreams"...

Through this lucid dreaming journey together Isaac and Yvonne discover their soul mate destinies are mysteriously and redemptively intertwined.
