PART III: WAKING GOD CHAPTER SUMMARIES




Chapter 21: In the limousine, ANDREW has an amazing dream in which he sees ADAM as a being reflecting all the parts of the universe. The vehicle suddenly comes to a screeching halt, and he finds himself pounding on the back window as he watches a stranger quickly lead MARA down the street under a hail of gunfire.

Chapter 22: ANDREW is taken to a beautiful white stone villa where, to his own shock, he meets MANTRELLA in the flesh.

Chapter 23: Barely recovered from the shock, ANDREW and MANTRELLA talk, and the silver-eyed host relates to the young professor the falsity of religious movements, and touches every nerve in ANDREW’s body with his “dime store theology.” Becoming angry, ANDREW stands to confront MANTRELLA.

Chapter 24: MANTRELLA morphs into a vision of Baphomet, both terrifying and subduing ANDREW. Through further conversation, ANDREW comes to understand that the biblical ADAM is sleeping. We are his dream, existing in and of it. When ADAM comes to realize his own existence through his physical birth into the world of mankind, humanity will move onto the next spiritual plane. He and MARA are god-bloods and the chosen parents of ADAM. The Archangel MICHAEL is noted as the main power that desires to keep ADAM from being born. Finally, ANDREW is briefly shown how the Major Arcana of the Tarot holds the hidden truth of this revelation.

Chapter 25: Escorted by MOLOC, a Dog of Isis, or werewolf, and NILAIHAH, a vie-pyre, ANDREW leaves for Poland on a mission to find MARA. MOLOC and NILAIHAH are partners, each of them representing half of the nature of duality, and are also Watchers, the “troops” of MANTRELLA. Sometime into the trip, the car is intercepted and ANDREW is stolen from his protectors. He awakes in a helicopter surrounded by men in fatigues.

Chapter 26: MARA finds herself in a castle. She discovers that the man who took her from the town and delivered her to safety is called MICHAEL. MICHAEL tells her that MANTRELLA, the man responsible for kidnapping her, is the devil, and that he posed as all the silver-eyed men in her past. Lastly, to her mounting disbelief, he explains how she has been moved all around the world every three years, and that she has been marked as a daughter of the Messiah. He pledges to protect her.

Chapter 27: ANDREW arrives via helicopter at Malbork Castle in Poland.

Chapter 28: MARA begins to have glimpses of who she is, and she comes to identify her grandfather from Boston, as well as ANDREW, as the enemy. MICHAEL receives ANDREW and the professor is held prisoner in the castle for a number of weeks. He and MARA are allowed to meet for brief periods of time, and ANDREW comes to suspect that MICHEAL, who supervises every meeting, is mocking him and showcasing his hold over the distraught girl. In various meetings with the host, ANDREW and MICHAEL converse about the nature of the universe and the apparent lies of MANTRELLA. ANDREW begins to believe that MANTRELLA has told him the truth and that MICHAEL is a maniacal Archangel hell bent on preserving his power in the universe. One morning, ANDREW awakes to find his usually locked bedroom door ajar, and he hurries to MARA’s room hoping to convince her to escape with him. With MARA at his side, he rushes through the castle looking for an escape route, but is drawn to a set of oak doors engulfed in light.

Chapter 29: ANDREW has overheard MICHAEL’s plan to further subdue humanity, and in anger he bursts into the room. If ADAM is allowed to be born, the angels will lose their place in the universe and will subsequently become obsolete. But before ANDREW is allowed to have a full-scale confrontation with the Archangel, MANTRELLA’s Watchers infiltrate the castle grounds, and a violent battle ensues. MICHAEL disappears with MARA.

Chapter 30: ANDREW is reunited with MOLOC and NILAIHAH.
