Mark Twain argued that truth is stranger than fiction. It is certainly more powerful. "The Mystical Odyssey of a Redneck from Texas" will not only shock and intrigue but transform lives as well.
A young redneck—a curious, outdoorsy kid—races crawfish and hunts rabbits for supper in the setting of a rough Texas town that proudly displays its motto: “The Blackest Land, The Whitest People.” An uncomfortable, unwelcome experience upends his intolerant beliefs and provides a glimpse of the miraculous power of thought. Overtime, he learns to control that power to explore and exploit his inner mind.
Illicit teenage adventures and a fight with one of the most notorious criminals in Texas history emphasize his redneck character. From adolescence, psychic experiences invade his subconscious—ill-favored until one saves his life. He learns self-hypnosis and meditation to find the source of these phenomena and encounters the Angel of Death and repressed childhood trauma.
A mentor explains the philosophies of Joseph Campbell, the consummate authority on mythology, and introduces him to the hero journeys of mythological kings and warriors. Surprisingly, he senses the call of the hero’s journey and accepts the challenge. The adventurer departs to an unfamiliar world and survives tests and trials with help from mystical guidance and magical forces just as Campbell had predicted. He returns and completes the last requirement of the hero’s journey—Sharing the Boon.
