Essence: Assault on the Mind - Paperback

by Mario Loomis (Author)

What if your phone could read your mind? A new app, eTelepathy, seems to do just that by creating a wireless interface between your brain and your phone. The app's creator, Dr. Karl Hoffman, uses this connection for widespread thought control with the intention of wielding power and influence on a worldwide scale. After the suspicious death of the doctor's colleague, an investigating FBI team will face telepathic assaults, hallucinations, near-death experiences, and more in this fast-paced paranormal thriller that explores the essence of good and evil, and of faith.At times, the line between science and metaphysics is blurred in this novel, all the better to have a perspective from which to examine the relationship between the two. Does morality reflect the will of God, or is it a by-product of evolution? Is there absolute right and wrong, or does it depend solely on those who have the power to decide? Is Atheism a scientific conclusion, or a religion unto itself? Sincere, intelligent individuals can and do arrive at different answers to these questions, but to even begin to address them adequately, we all need to think for ourselves, something we too often neglect to do.Polarizing news reports and propaganda are today's surreptitious forms of thought control. There is more before us than meets the eye. If you are willing, resist the barrage of thought manipulation, consider unseen realities, and let FBI agent, John Rocco, lead you on a thrilling ride into the hidden dimensions of the mind and soul of Man.
