The Big Event: At the Better Life Convention

By Frank Passalaqua

Follow the main characters as they travel to a world where the essence of time has been punctured, spilling history onto the landscape like a patchwork quilt. Cities are juxtaposed next to each other, like the pyramids of Egypt, the Coliseum of Rome, and other locations from many other time periods, as if large chunks of these metropolitan areas have been excavated and relocated on one giant landscape. These are not anthropological or archeological ruins, but instead, the living, breathing existence of someone else's now. The greatest spiritual teachers, inventors, philanthropists, and scientists of all time, leave these cities and travel to this centrally located convention as they share the same spiritual teachings and philosophies on living a better life. Jesus, Buddha, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein and many others attend, as they share how they have created a world that works for everyone.Did you know . . . . . . the author of one of the twentieth century's best selling books on making money used spiritual principles to achieve his goals? . . . techniques adopted by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci help explain ancient mystical teachings?. . . the basic principle behind hypnosis can be found in a teaching of Jesus? . . . the String Theory is considered the greatest discovery since Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and has reached conclusions revealed and accepted by ancient religions thousands of years ago? . . . by studying the universe, Einstein arrived at a conclusion that parallels the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, and many other great spiritual leaders?What does God and a baseball have in common? How can a croissant help us experience life in the present? Enjoy this humorous and poignant adventure as Frank and his wife travel to a convention and meet quirky characters along the way, including Helen, the amnesiac who takes a vacation she no longer remembers planning, Jim Pudge, a gambler who never gambles with money, and Olaku, his twelfth-century Anasazi guide.They encounter unusual situations and off-beat characters along the way and travel through time to figure out what all this has to do with living a better life.This will be considered as spiritual fiction, but most of what you will read is true. Spoken words and history of famous people will be combined with real life situations that are written in a fictional story that includes both humor and drama with visual imagery that makes spiritual concepts easier to understand.
