The Questions

What exactly is the mysterious missing object? Who created it, and why? And how does it relate to the Missing Link?

Why are so many people prepared to kill so casually for it?

Does it really hold the secret of eternal life?

What is the significance of Haiti, the old West African woman, in the unravelling of the mystery? Does she have the answer or is she part of the problem?

What is the true connection between Shango and Gertrude? And why does he refer to her as "the epitome of the deranged European psyche"?

What is Aiysha's big secret?

These are just a few of the questions which are answered in 'The Maãt Mystery: in search of the missing link'.


"What's it about?"
The Story
Introduction

The Maãt Mystery is a journey of discovery through the human mindscape, plumbing the depths of individual and collective depravity, degradation and self-destruction and scaling the heights of supreme enlightenment.

This is a pilgrimage through time and space, spanning three continents. Our quest begins in Europe, with Carol and Hans. In North America we meet the mysterious Aiysha, Fundisi the Teacher and Shango. In Africa, we experience the marvellous, ancient wisdom of Nenen Haiti and learn to see the modern world with different eyes.

This word vision is also a sexpense thriller with real people such as George, the unfortunate victim and Gertrude, the "rude gal", dealing with life's ordinary issues in extraordinary ways. Laugh and cry, live and die with these key characters as they interact with each other, continuing their personal quests for fulfilment, seeking, among other things: acceptance, identity, knowledge, love, material acquisitions, power, more power, sexual satisfaction and vengeance.

Experience the joys and dramas of human transformation as members of a proud, peaceful, loving people, once Gods, attempt to rewrite their destiny (as prescribed by others), dragging themselves out of a pit of subhuman subsistence and stepping boldly onto the path of right living towards eternal life.

If some characters, concepts and/or events appear familiar to you, it is because of your own experience of them. If, on the other hand, they appear new, strange or alien, it may be due to my own inability to overcome intellectual, legal, moral, practical and social constraints and present a clear enough picture and/or it may be due to our current level of collective consciousness.

The Maãt Mystery is written in the spirit of Maãt and presented to you in the name of our great Ancestors, Modin Kane. Thank you for listening. Oyi wala don.

Love and Life
Spartacus R.
