Souljourner

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey we are spiritual beings on a human journey. - this quote from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin appears at the start of this extraordinary novel and sets the tone for everything thats to come.David Rockwood Worthington is in prison serving a life sentence for the murder of his 3rd wife and his incarceration is not going smoothly. Hes being terrorised by rival gangs who insist he owes them each $6 million dollars - debts of which David claims to be entirely unaware. This perilous situation is complicated by the fact that the Internal Revenue Service wants to talk to him about the $18 million dollars he has stashed in secret Cayman Island accounts - accounts which David also claims to be entirely unaware of. On top of all that his prison psychologist doesnt seem to like him very much. The central premise of this novel - if it is indeed a novel (the narrator insists it is in fact a warning letter from your souls previous incarnation) - is that our souls make their eternal journey towards enlightenment in the company of a single unchanging karmic pod of companion souls who take on different roles in each of our incarnations.In one life a soul may appear as your mother in the next your best friend in the next your sworn enemy in the next your lover and so on for eternity. The identities of the souls in your karmic pod are hidden from you in life - this letter/novel seeks to wise you up to whos who in your karmic pod to help you avoid making the same mistakes that landed our David in prison.Souljourner is a cult-classic in the making. It is by turns bizarre bewildering hilarious infuriating and utterly engaging - strap yourself in and prepare to be swept up in this extraordinary karmic rollercoaster of a book.
