Shamans of San Damiano

Book Cover & Preview Text
Not since the time of Martin Luther, has one man alone laid the groundwork for what might be most appropriately designated as a spiritual and religious revolution. Had Martin Luther possibly lived in our time of such noble scientific discoveries and above all, our almost total access to the seemingly infinite amount of present as well as historical information, that seemingly lies at our fingertips on that more than infamous home computer, then the very true spirit of one, Martin Luther, might just as well be known to all as J. Lamah Walker. Dr. Walker, who prefers to be simply be called by his middle name of “Lamah” or “J. Lamah”, has only recently finished his life's literary manuscripts on the coming of this Age of Reality. He had opted to put off any publication of his dedicated works until he had finished all six books on the Age of Reality along with a thorough autobiography, mostly because he simply did not want to be burdened with the demands of some very anxious literary agent or publisher trying to meet some unknown deadlines. Lamah has chosen to publish first what he feels to be the very least objectionable subject matter to the conservative establishment, titled "Shamans of San Damiano." One Baptist minister said after reading this particular book, that it was one of the best takes on his theology that he had ever encountered and had asked Lamah to please consider writing a sequel. As this minister put it, “I am already missing this very unique cast of characters and their spiritual mission.” This being only the second of the seven to have been written, it was impossible for Lamah to consider putting off the writing of the, then, remaining five. Lamah being the very serious and dedicated academic that he has always aspired to be and with his four college degrees, his first book entitled, The Illiberal Manifesto, is written in that academic model, and as such, is the broad statement of the real and serious problems within our own Judeo-Christian Culture. Lamah feels that many of these same problems are just as likely to exist beyond our own guarded borders that separate us from the rest of the world. In our Western American culture we are already experiencing a big change in the way that we all view ourselves when we are now asked, as part of some personal profile, “What Religion are You?” The choices available has expanded to include an ever increasing number of those individuals that decree and truly understand and believe that, “I am spiritual, but (most certainly) not religious.” The ever increasing numbers of these given individuals will often and very emphatically state and believe that they have little or no real need for an affiliation with any of the traditional churches or religions. Lamah, most simply contends that the reality of this change is just a further proof that, “This newer and legitimate option is only another symptom of the advance of this Age of Reality.” It is also proposed by J. Lamah to recreate a truer and more viable alternative for these truly “spiritual” individuals in that original exacting model of just what Jesus of Nazareth had once proposed when he first elaborated the foundation for his one and only commandment as the only true basis for the Feast of Agapé, and, of course, experiencing the great joy found in one’s life. “There is no need to create a new religion; we just need to return to a time and place of honoring Jesus’ only request of practicing the Feast of Agapé.” There is another recognizable strong indication of this Age of Reality; the very humbling fact that a good and firm proportion of Americans cast their vote in the last presidential election, clearly for a president that is a man of color. And, it was Lamah who had already entertained many of his own family and friends with the timely celebration of the 16th birthday of this Age of Reality. It was held October 31, 2008, at his home, called San Damiano, located in Cedar Crest, NM. Anyone need only read the titles of the other six books, to have a good indication of just why Lamah is so concerned and passionate to write and share with you this Age of Reality: 1. The Illiberal Manifesto, 3. Interview with Jesus in the Hot Tub, 4. Political Socio-Psychology of Religion, 5. Phoenix Rising from the Ashes of God, 6. Age of Reality: A Manual for Living in an Age of Love, and lastly, 7. Father of the Age of Reality: An Autobiography.

About the Book
A Truly All-American Renaissance Prophet Even without any actual historical references, Lamah contends that the contents of this narrative is a true story in reality. And after all, what is reality? This poignant book is, in essence, a story that is all about the power and significance of love. It begins at the closing years of the 18th century and has its final installment of inspirational spiritual muse manifested during the early to mid-19th Century. The source of this loving tale is an earthbound disembodied soul of unprecedented spiritual substance, who remained in spirit close to the geographic origins of this prophetic story until the end of the 20th Century. It was then that several conspiring, sometimes tragic circumstances brought together two initiate, spiritually gifted Medicine Men whose lives in this Garden of Eden were necessarily separated by the passage of more than a hundred years. They would dedicate their modest lives to the healing of others’ spirits through that immutable power of love, a love that was and should always remain necessarily unconditional, and always boundless.
About the Author
J. Lamah Walker was ordained at nineteen and later received four college degrees in Religion, Psychology, Sociology, History of Mankind’s Education (PhD) and Counseling (M.Ed.). It was his life’s experiences and his unique possession of a powerful command of his own genetic memory that all combined with his extensive education that from which he wrote about his groundbreaking concept of the Age of Reality. Lamah had seriously researched the history of mankind’s religions and their various effects on man’s spiritual maturity, but only AFTER initially writing about this Age of Reality. All that he has written was guided by a youth thought enbeded in one of his poems, “I’m not here to read what others write, nor to see with a guilding light. For that youthful thought alone signafies the reality that J. Lamah’s writings are entirely of his own unique personage.
