2012: The Awakening with author, Bill Douglas.
Truth activist, FBI Whistleblower, and TIME Magazine Woman of the Year, Coleen Rowley; and spiritual author Deepak Chopra have given high praise to Bill's new edu-tainment novel...
“Visionary ... The unique value of the type of combined science fiction-social commentary in 2012: The Awakening lies in its ability to educate about some of the current dark and harsh truths of the way so many people are currently being victimized and manipulated.” Coleen Rowley
“What a gift it is to see fictional entertainment tackling the large issues of humanity!” Deepak Chopra
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a calm, peaceful, political and spiritual awakening in 2012, and human energy and attention was diverted from war and making money, to healing our selves and our planet? Bill Douglas has led a very unusual life. He never had any great ambitions to be a writer, but he did have a "spiritual awakening" years ago when he lost his mother, his father and his youngest son within a one year time period, and he began to write. Years later a publishing company contacted him and asked him to write a book on Tai Chi & Qigong meditation, which became a #1 best seller in that field, and was published in several languages. That book was instrumental in creating World Healing Day.
Bill Douglas and his wife, Angela, miraculously showed up at my home when I needed them the most, back in 2004. Both of us were struggling to get out the facts about 9/11, while the official 9/11 Commission was holding hearings, and orchestrating a major cover-up. We have worked together and stayed in touch over the years and Bill sent me a copy of his novel. I wrote a review about it here. Bill knows how hard it is to get out critical information through the front door of the corporate media, and we have both discovered that art, literature, film can be powerful vehicles to engage people's attention and educate them at the same time. I was pulled into Bill's novel by the characters, the drama, and the questions that I have been trying to deal with over the technologies that can be used to heal or to harm, those devices constructed by men and the processes harnessed and unleashed within our own hearts and minds. Bill's novel explores possibilities that I had never imagined, and in this interview we discuss the evolution of his novel, the boundaries between truth and fiction, the real and the imagination, and the possibilities of the novel being turned into a film, someday.
