Cali the Destroyer Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 48 ratings

You know that excitement you get when a paranormal romance suddenly turns ... supernatural?

Edgy, sexy and absolutely visionary, this one-of-a-kind love story will open eyes. The Goddess is afoot and things are about to get medieval in the Fatherland.

Patriarchal banking families with reptilian overlords, racial and sexual divisions, mass surveillance, social decadence ...

Welcome to the future, after the 2nd American Revolution didn't go well.

Here's what readers say:

"One of the best novels I have ever read. One of those books you start and can't put down."

"I can't remember the last time I read a novel this engaging."

"CALI THE DESTROYER entranced and blew me away. This visionary novel was entertaining, fun, and profound."

"This fantasy novel will keep you on the edge of your seat. I could not put it down and have recommended it to friends."

"A great read for young or old adults."

"I read this paranormal romance slowly and savored every minute of it. I hope it becomes a movie one day!"

"A must-read tale in tune with contemporary concerns that it dresses up as an Orwellian future."

"A very well-written dystopian novel absolutely in tune with the present challenges the whole world faces."

"A thought-provoking and absorbing dystopian novel with a New Age touch that balances human relationships with environmental, social, and political issues."

"Sol Luckman ties in history, existentialism, topics of mass relevance today, and an awakening of consciousness—all in one brilliant and inspiring urban fantasy novel."

"An extremely relevant fictional story, rich with revealing depictions of societal control measures, that still manages to highlight our innate power."

"Like some raconteur alchemist, Sol Luckman comingles ancient mysticism, engaging characters, and social issues to sublimate the alchemical gold that is unique but timeless storytelling."

"This uplifting fantasy novel wonderfully describes today's issues and points towards an energetic solution we can all participate in."

"CALI THE DESTROYER presents the Fallen Goddess Scenario in a wonderful fiction format. Every time I turn around the author has garnered another award."

What would happen if everyone suddenly woke up together and realized they were in an invisible prison run by psychopaths? In this amazingly uplifting dystopian thriller for young or old adults, experience the righting of the world in a future gone wrong.

Best friends? Check. Illegal lovers? Check. Mythological entities? Check.

Cali and Juice aren't discovering love; they're discovering they've always been in love—since the dawn of creation.

In this page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in a technocratic future seeded in the uncertain present, resistance to the Archons appears futile ... that is, until the Goddess and her consort spectacularly reappear straight out of ancient Gnosticism to take on the control matrix of the Fatherland.

Will the Luminous Child awaken in humanity before it's too late?

CALI THE DESTROYER was selected as Winner of the 2022 NYC Big Book Award and 2022 National Indie Excellence Award for Visionary Fiction, Silver Medalist for Visionary Fiction in the 2022 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist in both the Paranormal/Supernatural and Fantasy categories of the 2022 IAN Book of the Year Awards, and Distinguished Favorite for Audio Fiction in the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A thought-provoking and absorbing dystopian tale with a New Age touch [that] balances the exploration of human relationships with environmental, social, and political issues ... CALI THE DESTROYER is an illuminating and deep read, and the result is a must-read tale in tune with contemporary concerns that it dresses up as an Orwellian future." --Readers' Favorite

"While [CALI THE DESTROYER] has plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes, it is also a cautionary tale. The Orwellian future Cali and Juice are familiar with may also be what ours looks like in several years. CALI THE DESTROYER shows readers what can happen when evil is allowed to thrive." --Entrada Publishing

"CALI THE DESTROYER shows us our possible future if we allow evil to continue and overcome us. This 'faction'-filled book illuminates from the first chapter. Cali's reality blurs with our own and gives us the vision and hope that, collectively, we have the power to create a beautiful world." --Sean Maguire, Author, OUT OF THE BAG

"Sol Luckman has succeeded at creating a highly enjoyable and compelling narrative about the power of gnosis unlike any fantasy novel I've read in the last 10 years. Packed with humor and a lighthearted tone that makes for an easy page-turner, CALI THE DESTROYER is quickly becoming my most recommended fictional book of 2021!" --Mike Winner, Co-founder, Alfa Vedic

"Like some raconteur alchemist, Luckman comingles ancient mysticism, engaging characters, and social issues to sublimate the alchemical gold that is unique but timeless storytelling. As a dystopia, the work feels like it's happening right now. As a work of fiction, it feels like the perennial trope of man versus God—except it's hard to tell who the villain or hero is. A simultaneously disturbing and amazing read, you'll probably end up finding your own Philosopher's Stone." Miguel Conner, Author, VOICES OF GNOSTICISM & Host, Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio

"This is a book that can be read on different levels. On the first level, it is a real page-turner adventure story. But other levels reveal themselves as the story progresses and, no doubt, on subsequent readings. A real story for our times." --Dawn Lester, Coauthor, WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ILL?

From the Author

The Most Important Story Never Told

This unique novel's primary subject involves the single most censored story in the history of the human race.

That story is the Gnostic telling of the true nature and origins of the earth and humanity. According to scholar and author John Lamb Lash, who first retold the story in the modern era, this empowering, world-altering narrative was the real reason for the holy wars and inquisitions against Goddess-worshiping peoples everywhere that resulted in a genocide count of millions of souls over the centuries.

The story is a rabbit hole full of rabbit holes—and it points the finger directly at the source of evil as we experience it: the proverbial puppet masters manipulating the strings of religions, monarchies, governments, corporations and armies to coordinate a multi-generational inhuman agenda to subjugate, and perhaps even eventually destroy, humanity.

Today the terms "Deep State," "Cabal," "N*w W*rld Order" and "Ill*mi*ati" are employed, rather loosely and interchangeably, to denominate our would-be controllers.

But to the ancient Gnostics—whose teachings were so threatening to the Catholic Church (and presumably true for that very reason) they were systematically destroyed until they were effectively erased from the collective memory—
the ultimate Powers That Be behind these terrestrial tyrants have a specific name: Archons.

Some scholars, unable to contemplate the disturbing implications of the Gnostics' teachings, have suggested this term referred to humanity's worldly enemies. In other words: our so-called leaders who, seemingly impossibly (unless their actions were coordinated by a hidden hand connected to a single undying brain) have led the planet's population steadily down the road to self-annihilation through assimilation into a Borg-like hive mind.

But in his groundbreaking reinterpretation of the Gnostic texts, Lash leaves little room for doubt that by "Archons" the Gnostics meant an extraterrestrial race of virtually immortal thought parasites who over the centuries have controlled our leaders, their terrestrial proxies, through a form of mind control operating through reality simulation.

The ultimate target of the Archons, so it would seem, is not so much humanity as the earth itself, which by any logical interpretation of the Gnostic writings is a divine being called an "Aeon" known as Sophia and not a typical planet at all.

We're literally talking about Mother Earth, the Fallen Goddess demonized by Catholicism in fallen women from Eve to Mary Magdalene out of a twisted desire to separate the Archontically hypnotized masses from their power source in the Divine Feminine.

My contribution in CALI THE DESTROYER has been to take Lash's academic exposition of the Fallen Goddess Scenario and recast it as a fast-paced work of fiction capable of both entertaining and informing.

The novel's epigraph is taken from one of the foundational Gnostic texts known as ON THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD. In this quote, which seems a perfect description of the current historical moment in which nothing is real and everything is lies on this prison planet, Sophia gives the following prophecy to the Lord Archon, who thinks he's God but is actually just an overweening, sightless windbag with little actual power beyond his ability to trick the human mind into believing his enslaving fabrications:

"You are mistaken, blind one. There is an immortal Child of Light who came into this realm before you and who will appear among your duplicate forms, in your simulated world ... And in the consummation of all your works, their entire deficiency of truth will be revealed and dissolved by this Luminous Child."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A longtime researcher of shamanism and spirituality, Sol Luckman is an iconoclastic psychonaut devoted to exploring and exposing the truth about human history and potential—wherever that might lead.

His new novel, CALI THE DESTROYER—a page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian present that radically rewrites Gnosticism as well as the origins of the earth and humanity—was selected as Winner of the 2022 NYC Big Book Award and 2022 National Indie Excellence Award for Visionary Fiction, Silver Medalist for Visionary Fiction in the 2022 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist in both the Paranormal/Supernatural and Fantasy categories of the 2022 IAN Book of the Year Awards, and Distinguished Favorite for Audio Fiction in the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards.

His previous novel, the multi-award-winning SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, was a deep dive into Hindu mysticism, lucid dreaming, parallel universes, and cryptozoology described by INDIE SHAMAN Magazine as “superlative fiction.”

In his two international bestselling nonfiction books on the “revolutionary healing science” (NEXUS Magazine) of his own unique form of sound healing, the Regenetics Method, Luckman examined the critical role played by DNA and consciousness in healing, transformation, and evolution.

On the lighter side, Luckman is also an acclaimed humorist. Of his multi-award-winning satirical lexicon, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY, Readers’ Favorite remarked that he “picked up where writers like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce had left off.”

More recently, Amazon #1 Best Seller artist memoir MUSINGS FROM A SMALL ISLAND combines fascinating autobiography, hilarious comedy and inspirational philosophy in a stunningly self-illustrated coffee table book any Lowcountry lover or contemporary art aficionado would be proud to display. “It was a joy reading the musings of Sol Luckman,” wrote artist Nancy Tobin for Readers’ Favorite. “So joyous, I’ll reread it. I may even buy one of his paintings.”

A real page turner, I truly enjoyed reading this book. The storyline is fantastic, the characters are well developed and the light humor throughout is well appreciated. Sol takes you to a fantasy world that in many respects seems oddly familiar. He brilliantly weaves and meshes together layers of our current and potential future reality, fantasy and even his healing technique he developed and explains in his other books.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed! :)

First, I am compelled to say how within one paragraph I felt pure delight in Mr. Luckman's writing style. It is so smooth, flowing and effortless to read. I never ran into a sentence that felt a bit jarring. Each time I picked up the book I noticed this phenomena so It seems worth a mention.

And the content of the book? It entranced and blew me away. It was entertaining, it was fun, it was profound. Connections and "aha's" that I cannot even verbalize were taking place. It was hard to read slowly and yet I lingered with it as I did not want it to end.

This was my first experience in reading a Sol Luckman book so while Cali has ended, I am comforted to know that he has a few others which I will be reading next.

Thank you Sol for the beautiful gift of this magical luminous child of a book!

Love gnostic philosophy but hate slogging through the Nag Hammadi? This book presents the fallen goddess scenario a la John Lamb Lash in a wonderful fiction format. Every time I turn around the author has garnered another award for this work, so if you're the type that seeks that sort of approval before reading then there you go. Prescient and nearly prophetic this book is absorbing and the story sticks with you long after you turn the last page. A must read in these gnostic times.

I can't remember the last time I read a book this engaging. I was a big fan of Lucman's Snooze as well. Masterfully crafted story and enjoyable characters. So many fun twists and turns. I would have liked more than 1 chapter from Juice's perspective and would love to see part 2 go into depth about him as well as the subterranean world and characters. Definitely makes one think about a frightening future we could be headed towards if we don't stand up for our personal rights and the health freedoms of our children.

I found this book to be too juvenile for me, was the written for young adults? It also felt like I was reading a script rather than a book. It might make a good young adult movie!
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021
A timely book, appropriate for our times. When I say a journey into Gnosticism I mean just that. It certainly is refreshing to read a novel that is educational as well as entertaining. As an author myself, I understand the importance of incorporating an important message into the frame work of a novel. Sol has done this exceptionally well. Take a journey into Gnosticism and other ancient traditions through this novel, and use it as a spring board into further research and enlightenment!
