About the Author

George C. Wallach is the product of a "right-brained" Irish-American mother and a "left-brained" father who immigrated from Europe as a young boy, subsequently worked his way through college doing piecework making umbrellas, and ultimately chose a career in radiological medicine, utilizing exacting logic and parameters based on the laws of physics. The thinking of George's mother was on the other side of the coin. She marched to the beat of her own drummer at a time when not many women did and eventually demonstrated that she was a natural metaphysical healer. That combination, a mother immersed in spiritual healing and a father steeped in medical tradition, produced George, a jazz-drumming, Harley-riding lawyer with three university degrees who ultimately took Joseph Campbell's advice and followed his bliss, morphing into an author with the union of spiritual inquiry and logical examination that sowed the seeds of this unique novel and which, based on the principle that unconditional love is both the immovable object and the irresistible force of existence, infuses Harvest of Illusion with a metaphysical blueprint describing where we were before we got here, why we're here, what we are each capable of doing during our stay here, and where we're going when we leave.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing adventure on many levels, May 27, 2003

This review is from: Harvest of Illusion, A Spiritual Adventure (Paperback)

An amazing adventure is available to everyone; an example of which is the point of this book. Harvest of Illusion may help you to understand your own adventure a little better, or it may simply entertain you.

On the surface you will read about a time in the not too distant future on earth where the security of our knowledge is questioned and proved incomplete. Beginning with Mari who is seemingly abducted by aliens, only to learn that she has agreed to participate in inter-being propagation in a previous life. Don't run off screaming. The author is attempting to open the eyes of the reader through a fantasy, in the most gentle, unobtrusive way possible...the imagination. It is well done.

Mari's husband, Murph, is a psychologist who helps people who believe they have been visited by other beings. When his own wife turns to him and tells him that she has had her own very close encounter he grapples with his beliefs and his desire to know for sure if these things happen. He is given absolute proof when Xanthas, Mari's before unknown half other-being, half sister, is presented to him in need of discovering the E-gene...the ability to feel emotions. It doesn't hurt that her physical form is the ultimate in attractive, and Murph falls in love with her.

It eventually is realized that Mari has "cheated" on Murph in her procreation attempts with Jenoor, another alien being, resulting in Murph's realization and understanding that he is enduring this pain as a lesson he needs to learn, carrying over from his own previous lives. He is tempted to reciprocate with Xanthas, but if he does he will need to repeat this lesson in his next life. Is it worth it?

These beings are not truly aliens, but another life form, of earth. They have lived beneath the surface, and have coexisted on the planet unbeknownst to humans. It is time to reveal themselves, as there is great need to warn the humans of an impending extraterrestrial invasion by the Harvesters: a body of beings who planted the humans here to begin with, along with the gray, subsurface beings. Will the citizens of earth accept these gray Mantid beings as allies? Will the Harvesters reap what they sowed and consume the occupants of Earth?

There is more to the story. It goes much deeper than the fantasy, science fiction that it seems. The souls of the characters are not strangers to each other. They have been reincarnated time and again, together. They are helping each other with lessons in the classroom of life, in order for their souls to grow and graduate to the next levels. The story of the aliens is not the important part of this book; it is after all, all an illusion.

The underlying lessons are what makes it a must read. You will be guided through realizations about your own soul, your own journey. You will come to understand the truly non-fictional concept of the nature of the spirit, the purpose of being. You might come to realize the power of positive thought, or the process of mentally healing the physical body. You may understand the nature of death, or the meaning of life. You may see past all of that and understand the illusion of it all. In the process, you'll read an entertaining, if not enlightening, work of fiction.

This review is from: Harvest of Illusion, A Spiritual Adventure (Paperback)

Harvest Of Illusion is an amzaing book. I have been a teacher of metaphsics and spiritualty for many years and I am always looking for great books to read particuarly good stories that can lift one up and educate and entertain at the same time. This book by George is all of this and more. If you liked the Celestine Prophecy or Conversations With God YOU MUST read this book. I recommend it with 10 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vital message, July 20, 2003

By 

Joe Smyth (Flagstaff, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harvest of Illusion, A Spiritual Adventure (Paperback)

"Harvest of Illusion" is not the kind of book I would usually read. However, a friend recommended it. I finally got around to reading it, and my only regret is that I waited so long. It's a terrific book --- imaginative, stimulating, fun to read, and with a GREAT message about the potential for goodness and fulfillment that resides in all of us. Especially because of the uplifting message, I hope it will be widely read.
