Domatarious????



When I Am Adam was published, the one question that kept coming up was, "Who is Domatarious"? I've been told I was communing with spirit guides and that action, depending on who I was talking with at the time, was either wonderful or terrible.

In all honesty, Domatarious came to me as a guiding character when I began to write Chapter 1. My thought was to portray how a creation existed on earth prior to the human species and how it failed to complete the objective of propagation. The character of Domatarious appeared in the first chapter and never retreated. As I spent more time with Domatarious I began to think of him as very real part of my journey. This became an even greater relationship experience as I wrote the sequel to I Am Adam, "The Light and the Shadow", which is another Domatarious book.

For the purpose of this blog's excursions, let's just say he is a strong expression of some spiritual insights. Much like Neale Donald Walsch's experience in his books "Conversations with God", I will let you draw your own conclusions. I do ask that you not speak negatively about my journey unless you speak it directly to me here in the blog. I am not offended by opinions, but I do like to listen to others opinions and exchange my opinions in the same manner. Besides, in ten years we will probably all change our opinions somewhat, so why take them so personally. As for me, I just like Light more than Shadow.

Which is a cleaver way to take us to the core thought in I Am Adam :  the Law of the Power of Love and Light. The essence of this "law" is simple: there is not enough shadow in the universe to put out light, but whenever light comes forward, shadow will always disappear. Thus, if we continue to think and dwell in negativity (Shadow), it will produce more negativity. However, if we begin to think positive (Light) then the negative will begin to disappear.

This basic formula impacts every aspect of life, for the creative premise of all life is found in the power of sowing and reaping. If you sow positive, you will harvest positive and vice versa. Call it Karma, Law of Attraction, bread on the waters, or the law of physics "for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction"; the principle is the same.

 The book called the "Secret" was not really about a secret, as every major religion demonstrates some component of sowing and reaping. If you plant beans in your garden, don't be upset if corn doesn't grow; what you sow is what you reap.
Give us your thoughts on this. Ever have Light disperse Shadow? Do you agree with the concept? Have you had a spiritual or mystical experience that transformed your thoughts? What does "Sowing and Reaping" mean in your life? Place a comment on the page below or email me at JTTwerell@JTTwerell.com. Let's talk about this together and see what harmony we can find in our diversity. You can also join us at our blog Relationships and Romance: Some continuing thoughts.

Why I wrote, “I AM ADAM”.

I am Adam is a fictional story about the creation of the human species. The core to the book comes from the bible verse in Genisis 5: 1,2 "This is the book of generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God Made he him: Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

I found this an interesting statement. It is in the Judeo/Christian writings, but generally overlooked. It is a statement of true equality between male and female - they both were called Adam. This was a true proclamation of harmony and oneness in the creation that greatly lost its significance as the patriarchal overtone began to consume theological understanding. If original concepts avoided the duality of understanding that dominates our society today, how different would the creation story be? I think it would be a love story reflecting the beauty of the love of the creator toward creation and the creations love for each other. Fantasy? Yes, but much kinder than some of the reality facing us today.

I decided to start a story about creation formulated around this theme of unity and equality. The book had no outline; I simply let it write itself. As it took on its own life, it became a mystical experiece in which thoughts and concepts I had never considered began to appear before me. Since its publication, I am Adam has been a sourse of inspiration and conflict, depending upon who was reading the material. Over the next weeks, I will dialogue on the book and give my thoughts on what I believe the story is saying, and provide a place for discussion and questions.

Obviously, it will help if you have a copy to read. If you want a copy Click Here. . Email to mailto:mJTTwerell@JTTwerell.com.

I hope you will join me as we explore true love, harmony, and joy in the first romance story ever written; the story of creation.
