INFINITUDE - Man Discovers Other World
February 28, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
A book based on a true story about Adam Kadmon, a young man in search of the meaning to life and about a mysterious man, Clifford Bias, a renowned psychic medium, who disclosed the secrets of life after death to him. The backdrop is the ghettos of Spanish Harlem in New York City, —a basal plane of Kabbalah, in the days before computers, videos and ATM machines. It was a time unlike any other, and the story could not be written any other way save as it happened. Cullen Dorn attempts to separate himself by writing it in the third person, so as to eke from memory, a concise and accurate tempo of its streets. If at some point some aspects of the story appear to be outlandish, the author offers no apologies, as he himself had seen and later heard, the peculiarities of these remarkable events. “ I come from a time that doesn't exist anymore save in the memories of its survivors,” he mentioned in an interview. “ I grew up in a fifth floor tenement apartment in Spanish Harlem with no air-conditioner, no refrigerator, a transistor radio and a television set that had snowy lines across its screen. I can still hear the old Italian vender hollering and pushing his apple cart down the street and the Puerto Rican piragua man pouring colored syrup on an ice cone for a nickel, amid the tumultuous noise outside. Coming down the stairs one heard the roar of the crowd and felt the vivifying energy of life. A surge of panic would rise in me, as if I might miss out on something. Spittle flew from my mouth as I raced into the street with bold anticipation. It was there that one quickly discovered life and death in a strange Tango, and learnt to embrace both.”
This book is ripe for the era in which we live. Since time immemorial everyone had asked the same question: 'Where has my loved one gone?' 'Is there life after death?' 'Is there a purpose to life. And if so, then what of it?' A young man from the streets of New York City determined to find the answers to these questions began an incredible trek. And what he found behind the veil and brought back will enlighten a grief-broken world and change people's perceptions forever. "We are more than names, properties, country and flags," he stated. "We are an integral part of the greater whole that has no beginning or end. We are an inversion of infinitude." But reader beware! The journey takes one through a riveting, shocking, powerful scenario of urban existence that knew no god or law. And the author employs a most descriptive power making his readers smell and hear the stench and noise of a time that once existed.
