Works of fiction are interesting contradictions. While not literally true, they can intuit and express a level of truth that is deeper than empirical fact. Stories are another form of truth, providing an aesthetic knowing about life that is already whole. Fictional stories of great vibrancy, such as this work, provide a compass for the heart to navigate in the world that is far more focused and facile than mere pragmatism. Adams has been able to articulate a language and conception of this consciousness that has a tangible feel of its own reality. This work pierces the veil of illusion and looks behind the blind curtain to reveal a world of wonder and revelation, amidst the turmoil and angst of the human conditions of life.

As a creatrix, Adams has touched the realm of the muse with this visionary tale of mythological proportions, inviting us into the inner sanctum of the earth mother and the unified field of feminine archetypal creative consciousness. Keepers of the Dream is a story that involves three lead femmes; each in her own search for the elusive feminine; Eartha Mae, her sixteen year-old daughter Evangeline, and Betina, an archeologist in a mid-life crisis. These three women make up a trinity, each in her own throes of an initiatory journey to find the holy grail of the heart and return to the sovereignty of the sacred earth feminine that is spirit embodied.

The lead character, Eartha Mae, is herself a human undergoing a tremendous metamorphosis into becoming an archetypal conduit for spiritual potency, acting capably in favor of life. The author Riane Eisler wrote many years ago that the highest power on the planet is the ability to affirm life, and Eartha Mae goes through the initiate's journey of moving away from the mundane world and submitting to processes of surrender and change that allow this higher purpose to become infused in her form.

Eartha Mae is an embodiment of the Great Earth Mother in an advanced human form. As her body becomes more receptively tuned to receive and hold the new energies, it begins to grow more mammaries, so as an earth mother, she has a greater capacity to nourish life. She enters a quantum reality, moving beyond the current conception of possibility. She suffuses a 'calming light' and her many breasts are a fountain, pouring the milk of love and giving nurturing sustenance to people in deeply divided conflict, immediately rendering a profound change. The power of the human mother to affirm life and create kinship bonds, is one of the most lucid examples of earth ecology possible, of the interconnected web of life in harmony.

This work brilliantly illuminates the ability of creation to reorganize itself. Creation is local, we are each the site of creative unfolding, and this archetypal, ecological tale provides a bountiful vision of what is possible now. The mysterium tremendum, the potency of creation to become another form of itself, is portrayed with perceptive astuteness in this work. As Eartha Mae is able to move through the process of reorganizing, she comes more in alignment with the living system of the larger body of intelligent earth.

By coming into an inner alignment with earth unity, she awakens to the powers of creation that she is in direct contact with. She realizes the ability to use her thoughts to positively create or destroy life. Eartha Mae has become far more powerful and makes a conscious commitment to be a vehicle to affirm life, and is finally able to finish the initiatory round that she began, including to be reunited with her own daughter. The book describes the kinship between them as a 'luminous thread' a cord of continuity that connects them through their painful and despairing ten-year separation. Like her mother, Evangeline holds an amazing capacity to resonate with spirit and express its qualities of coherence, beauty and wonder, other expressions of the magic that exists from being in direct contact with the sacredness of life. While searching for her lost mother, Evangeline faces many conflicts, primarily with her father and a psychiatrist who seek to subjugate her with fear. Both men have lost their vision and exert their powers to control and censor her natural ability to see deeply into the vital intelligent nature of life and the beauty that exists within.

The third member of this passionate threesome; Betina, is spiraling around the globe and into inner realms, hearing the call and following the winds of change that beckon. The wind is a form of air, also representing the deeper quality of the 'breath of life.' This 'Swirling Holy Wind' vitalizes life as it moves through all things, causing them to reshape themselves. Betina is in her own form of mysterium tremendum, with her life transforming through a whirlwind of destruction, as the old is removed to make way for the new. Through it, she is in contact with an ancient order of the feminine 'keepers of the dream,' These women spirits, lead by Marletta, sustain her quest with the subtle substance of spiritual essence, profound and lucid otherworldly experiences to help her find her way back to a place of remembering what is true.

Ms. Adams has commented that she sees the cycles of evolution as a dance in which different energies emerge to lead the way for a time. Now is the time for the continuing vision of the feminine that affirms life to reemerge and provide momentum for new cycles of growth and expansion. This work addresses the poignant call for the time, to be able to perceive, acknowledge and cooperate with the living system of intelligence that has existed upon the earth for billions of years, evolving to a high level of refinement. The living system of creation that is earth provides incredible bounty as a foundation for life here.

The challenge of our time that the feminine archetypal principle is addressing is to honor the earth as a living intelligence and inhabit this great garden and become aware of the extraordinary design that already exists to sustain us so we may thrive in harmony. In a transition from a Piscean age to another era, Ms. Adams' work is leading the way, providing a powerful and palpable vision to meet the purpose of an Aquarian age, bringing forth innovative and creative ideas for the benefit of the earth.

In Paul Ray and Sherrie Ruth Anderson's provocative work, The Cultural Creatives, they distilled enormous volumes of social data to illuminate what is needed for the cultural collective to step forward with positive ecological momentum. Although they provided enormous data to show that a great shift has occurred and that a vast majority of the public is concerned with our ecological situation, the real value of this book is their identification of critical qualities that we must cultivate in our collective consciousness in order to create a positive and productive way of life on this planet. Key qualities include moral imagination, wisdom of the heart and a positive and creative vision of the future. Keepers of the Dream is a work that embodies these qualities. Ray and Anderson write, "A vision of the future that is true at the soul level of a culture can inspire the creation of a new way of life."

A revelatory work that is a conduit for shifting consciousness, Keepers of the Dream provides a true compass of the heart, an inspired knowing of what is true for the future seeking to emerge. Creation is inherent and cannot be denied. A torch flame of truth, this book is full of spiritual potency that sets off tremors of knowing within. A creatrix of considerable authenticity, Celeste Allegrea Adams has brought forth a work to captivate us with the truth of spirit and compel us to see the everyday world through the eyes of magic. Through lifting the veil, we can see the highly spirited sacredness that exists. A work of kaleidoscopic lushness, it offers us a coherent, lively tale to tickle us into a more expanded way of perceiving the world as a unified magical web of life. With a bold vision that uplifts and rejoices, we are all invited to celebrate the enormous potency of creation.
