People are reliant on technology to maintain their health, provide entertainment, and for the authorities to secure their lives - the year is 2088. Earth is not a post-apocalyptic planet, instead there has been some reprieve from such a destructive path, but is it only temporary. No longer are the traits of an apocalypse viewed as the main threat to humanity - it is the incursion of technology into every facet of life that is causing concern for humanity.
A small group of intelligent and compassionate people investigate the balance between a life dependent on technology, in contrast to life with a strong heart and mind connection, within a world of futuristic vehicles, hypersonic jet flights, and holographic projectors. Humanity has ventured further into space with Moon and Mars bases, and to the Asteroid Belt, in search of raw minerals.
Troiuble is brewing as a clamp down on life style for all is beginning and this small group must hurry as the authorities are planning to restrict individual liberty using identification microchips and nano robots - a move to strengthen the public’s dependency on them as providers. Carefully constructed events generating fear have been orchestrated to affect a general consensus of a planet descending into chaos.
As the group embark on a trip across the world, they are guided by a Chinese man who provides clues about what they discover in historical sites, he introduces concepts of life in balance according to the principles of harmonious living. They encounter values for living in harmony with nature through cleansing oneself of ego based traits of negativity, they explore artistic appreciation, discuss elemental geometric patterns in nature, the properties of music, living geometry, and imagery connected to evoking feeling and recollection of their true elemental and natural selves.
During these travels they come across the idea of a Torus of Eternity as an object representing the awakening of compassion and alignment with the elemental flow of life patterns with a strong heart and mind connection. The Torus can also be used as a means to amplify natural energy, as it is a pure crystal that could enhance the authority’s technological powers and capacity. Then there are the others - a dark sect who seek the Torus for use in their vortex amplifier which is a machine of unimaginable potential and terror
As the Earth population is further lead into fear through dramatic global events and the introduction of computer viruses into their injected nano technology by the dark sect group, the authorities place further restraint on living as individual liberty is eroded.
Delving deep into the properties and philosophy of life naturally aligned with the elements and intentions away from consumption of technology and fear generated by the ego, the group look to activate their lives with a strong heart and mind connection. It is hoped this energy will then spread to others to counteract the dark visions of human evolution now coming into play
Agents of enforcement are dispatched with an army of invisible robots in locations throughout the cities, brings fear to many and also are in pursuit of this group as they strive to develop faster than light technology to surpass the authorities - a technology the authorities also want.
The group discover the potentially life changing affects of aligned existence with the elemental intentions residing in the hearts of all, but others are there to stop them...mostly Agent Eight.
Can this group assist the entire human race to stay out of darkness, or will the powers to be, overwhelm their intentions? The first installment of the Torus novels, First Light introduces the world as it could come to be, as the forces of negativity are at the brink of affecting human evolution into the trans-human state forever.
