Assistance from Interdimensional Beings
Belief in the existence of interdimensional beings offering aid to humanity is a common thread across various spiritual, mystical, and esoteric traditions. Within these narratives, such entities are regarded as operating on higher planes of existence, occupying dimensions beyond the limits of ordinary perception. Often portrayed as benevolent guides, angels, or enlightened extraterrestrial intelligences, they are ascribed profound wisdom, compassion, and an overarching desire to uplift humanity. Proponents maintain that these entities exert a subtle but meaningful influence on human consciousness, inspire acts of kindness, provide healing energies, and impart insights that foster both individual growth and collective evolution. How these beings help is said to manifest in numerous ways. Some individuals claim to receive intuitive guidance that steers them away from harmful choices and toward paths of enlightenment. Others report experiences of profound comfort or sudden clarity during moments of despair, crediting these interdimensional presences with restoring hope and direction. Practitioners of energy healing or meditative disciplines often describe sensing supportive presences that facilitate emotional release, spiritual awakening, or physical well-being. While skeptics point to the absence of empirical proof and suggest cultural storytelling or internal psychology as more plausible explanations, the conviction that such helpers exist endures, shaped by personal encounters, metaphysical teachings, and the persistent human longing for transcendent benevolence.
Two Worlds
Imagine a world split in two, like a blade slicing through reality. On one side, there’s a land drenched in golden light, where freedom and love flow like an untamed river. People live with open hearts, embracing the unknown, where dreams aren’t just dreamt—they’re lived. On the other side? A dim, cold world where control and fear rule. The people there are hunched, eyes downcast, their every move dictated by an unseen force. Love is a transaction, freedom a distant memory, and fear creeps into every shadow. Now, here’s the twist—our heroine, standing at the crossroads of these worlds, is receiving messages from her future self, warning her—and us—that a choice must be made. "Freedom and Love or Control and Fear," the message says, loaded with the weight of a thousand lifetimes. The future hangs in the balance, teetering between salvation and ruin. The people of this distant future have seen the destruction that follows when fear takes control. They can send us warnings, but the choice. It’s ours. Time is running out, and the future breathing down our necks. Can we pull ourselves back from the brink, or will we let ourselves fall into the abyss? The clock is ticking, and the world is holding its breath. What will you choose?
Wake Up! It's not as it seems...
It's said the truth will set us free. But how do we know if what is true is really true? Discernment is challenging. We know that gravity is real. We know the sun somes up every morning. We know we must breath to stay alive. This scene from Star Revelations, concerns a helicopter that crashed under mysterious circumstances. It involved the heroine of our story and her search for the truth. How did she survive? Did it really happen? Are her dreams real? Who is the stranger that keeps appearing in her dreams? Is he the same man piloting the craft, prior to plummeting to the ground? This story really makes you think differently and whether what you believe is really true...
Do we have a truth detector within?
In the center of our head is a small gland, called the Pineal which is often known as the third eye and allows us to perceive beyond our normal senses, and even into other worlds and dimensions. They call it the sixth sense. Is it possible that this gland is being targeted and blocked by a controlling force? It makes great fiction unless it's true. If it is true, then what can we do about it? Meditation...
Stop the Hypocrisy Inside and Out
We are in the midst of tremendous global change, and many say this world is bifurcating and may exist as two separate parallel worlds. What is apparent is that there is rampant hypocrisy, and this is being dragged to the surface... How does it impact us individually and collectively when we do not do what we expect others to do or accuse others of misdeeds when we are hiding the truth about our own? In our story, powerful and haunting words are sent telepathically from the future from S.T.A.R (Secret Transmissions Allied Response) to a group gathered at a famous mountainside. Is this communication an important harbinger of things to come?
The Quiet War
It is said that the price you pay for freedom is constant vigilance. What does this mean? Well, I believe it means that we have to be careful of our thoughts; what is in them, what we focus on, and what we allow to enter our minds. I also believe it means to check everything out and question our assumptions. Just because we hear something or see something does not mean it is true. Many aspects of the media assume that we are not verifying what we hear. This is the Quiet War...A battle for control of our minds that happens quietly and gradually... Here, our heroine must find the truth about a mysterious executive who she believes is caught up in a scandal..or is he? Is it true? From here it all starts to unravel into a nightmarish journey of mind control...
Whoever controls the Narrative Wins
During these current times of uncertainty and fear, we are often finding ourselves questioning the truth. The media do their job of controlling the way we think (if we allow it) It is said, "Who controls the narrative wins." It is also worth considering that liars control the truth. If this is accurate, then are those who control the narrative liars? Here in our story, the controllers are plotting their next phase to stop the heroine of our story after she survived their assassination attempt. This time, they can't fail and must try to mentally assassinate her and discredit her. Will she prevail and win this quiet war?

The Bifurcation of Our World
Has the world split into two different worlds? And is there a choice which world we want to be part of? I believe there always is... In this story our heroine's future self is sending messages back in time to warn us that a choice must be made. "Freedom and Love or Control and Fear." What will happen to our world over the next years? What do the people of this distant and future world know? Can they help us before it's too late?
What Breeds the Uncertainty?
How would you describe the current mood in the world? Do we really understand what is going on? I believe that what is apparent is not and what is not apparent is... There is so much that we don't know that is likely going on behind the scenes! The controllers, as I all them in this story, pull the strings and keep the level of control by keeping people in uncertainty... Here in Star Revelations, is a speech by one of the pivotal characters as he proceeds to address a huge gathering and talk about the future of technology and how to overcome uncertainty. Is he one of the good guys? The plot thickens!
Are Dimensions different Frequencies?
Is interdimensional time travel possible? Everything is vibration, energy and frequency. At this point in the story, our Heroine is realizing that she must access a different frequency so that she can communicate and be in a different dimension. How does she change her frequency? What is the secret she must find? The mystery unfolds...
Do Liars Control the Truth?

The Unconscious Mind
Our heroine is remembering what happened to her as a child. Her memory had been erased and 16 years missing. The man she had been investigating for her TV show, and since vanished, reappears through her unconscious memories and must help her wake up in time to find the truth before it's too late... As a writer I am very interested in how the unconscious mind influences our decisons and actions. This unconscious is vast and in a psychological thriller genre it can really provide some riveting plot and story arcs.

Divide and Conquer
The Latin phrase “Divide et impera” was first said by Julius Cesar many centuries ago. Divide and Conquer is as old as war and politics. Our heroine Diana Star and her associates are doing whatever they can, to stay united, just as the evil controllers do whatever they can to stop them. They are in a race against time to solve the mystery of who she is and what she has to do to save the world. The power is in staying together. Strength in numbers!

What Do Our Dreams Become?
Some say they never dream. Others say they know they dream but don't remember their dreams? I believe we all dream and even though I do not profess to be an dream expert, I have discovered there are generally two types of dreams; Normal and Lucid. Lucid dreaming is where you know you are dreaming and it seems very real. I have had many lucid dreams that became very revealing and life changing. I always suggest people do their own research. One way I became more conscious of my dreams was to have an intention to remember them and one way to do that was to have a notepad by my bed so as soon as wake up I can record the dream awareness. Here in the story our heroine is in an altered state. She is in a coma having what appears to be a very profound lucid dream. Or is she?

From here it all starts to unravel into a nightmarish journey of control of her mind...
Are we being controlled?
Are we being controlled? Are we allowing that to happen? If we are, then how? These are questions that seem approproiate during these current times... Here is a scene where the "controllers" as they are known in the story, get clear how they will stop the protagonist as she begins to wake up to her past and the special powers she once had. Our interdimensional ally continues to infiltrate and subvert the plot where and when he can.

Will truth set us free?
It's been said many times, that the Truth will set us free. TV celebrity Diana Willis is forced to confront the truth about her terrifying past and her forgotten childhood. What really happened? Why have 16 years of her life been erased from her memory? Who are her parents? Who are the people that want her dead? With the help of a smitten and reluctant FBI agent and an elusive interdimensional mentor, she unearths a terrifying discovery which begins a race against time for survival and a discovery of a truth of greater importance that must set her and the world free...A message from another world...

Wake Up! It's not as it seems...
It has been said that the truth will set us free. But how do we know what is true from the lies? We know there are some "truths' based on study and investigation such as gravity, the sun and our own breath etc. It can be challenging to have discernment especially during these times of media control. We must slow down and learn to ask more questions and check things out for ourselves. We need to be willing to hear alternative perspectives and remain open that perhaps what we are hearing is what we tell ourselves we want to hear. In other words, confirmation bias. This scene from Star Revelations concerns a helicopter that has crashed under mysterious circumstances. It involves our heroine and her search for the truth...How did she survive? Is it a dream? How does she find what is real and what is a lie?
The journey of a thousand miles...
Edison described Genius as 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. The idea is that no matter the greatness of idea or innovation, it is hard work and dedication that makes the difference. It's also about endurance, the belief to keep on keeping on no matter how difficult the goal. One of the great concepts I have personally used in all this is to break things down into small actions steps. It's been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. When I wrote Star Revelations, I broke it down to 500 words a day for 180 days for the first draft. If I thought about the task of 90,000 words that would create so much resistance I would likely not want to do it, but if I approached it as 500 words today, "I can do that."
The Power of Group Focus
There is power in numbers. One person with a clear focus and the right action can make a difference. And when others join with the same focus and action it can make an even bigger difference. Meditation is an example of this and in group meditation it has proven successful as the power is amplified by the group. Everyone focussing on the same idea, thought our mantra can change the energy around them even in other areas geographically. Here in the story, our hero Diana Star, is waking up to the idea that she must enlist others to help her to bring her message from another world.

What will happen to our world over the next years? The people of this distant world in the future seem to know. What do they know and can they help us before it's too late?
Shifting to a New Paradigm
It's been said when one door closes another opens... Here in our story we are seeing our main protagonist let go of an old paradigm, an old story they had believed to be true. Now there is a twist in the mystery, pivoting the story in a different direction. What if the person missing from the helicopter crash actually walked away? If so where is he? During these current times, many are finding they have to create a new paradigm. I think this is being done individually and collectively. I believe the first step is always the willingness to see things differently!

Two messages
This begins the journey (in this world) of our main character; the TV star, Diana Willis. This strange premonition is the first of a series of revealing messages from another world... A message that must wake her up before it's too late... A mysterious and interdimensional character, begins setting the direction of his mission, to save the TV star from pending doom.
