Beyond the Horse's Eye -- A Fantasy Out of Time Janet Rose

J, a troubled five-year-old living in Washington Heights, has a life-long, daunting mission: use her mind-bending powers against NASA scientists planning a premature leap for earth from the Atomic to the Empath Age, harnessing the energy of empathy to colonize other planets. J is the protégé of Telmx, a young woman Imari warrior from an outside galaxy who arrives on Earth following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, endows J with powerful empathy, and eventually transforms from savior into extraterrestrial lover. Through the time-traveling nightmares and hallucinations of J, the anti-war demonstrations of the sixties, and Telmx?s battle with the violent Raymond, a rogue ?Imari-turned-bad,? the struggle for peace in the universe ensues. Beyond the Horse?s Eye?a Fantasy Out of Time is only the start of a daring and controversial journey, a race against time all too close to our own. Troubled children often create imaginary friends and secret worlds to cope with an impossible reality. But what if the imaginary friend became real and the secret worlds could be visited? Beyond the Horse?s Eye?a Fantasy Out of Time is built around a fascinating concept: empathy for all living things can be channeled into a powerful energy force. A period of rich ferment?the 1960s in the U. S.?with opposition to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the movement for sexual liberation, revisited, as species beyond humans, join forces with young earthlings, now with empath power, and cooperate to change history. Worlds, energy forms and loves collide with unexpected results. An exciting read that is wise and full of intuitions on pain, survival, rehabilitation and change.
