Description:

A Nation of Mystics
In this epic trilogy of intimacy, metaphysical exploration, and coming of age, author Pamela Johnson deftly explores the youth subculture in San Francisco and Berkeley in the mid-1960s. Although set in the Sixties, A Nation of Mystics is strikingly relevant, examining the beginnings of ideas that have become the cornerstone of visionary culture and progressive politics.
Book 1: Intentions
1967. The Summer of Love. The Haight-Ashbury becomes home to characters arriving from around the world with all the initial goodwill and naiveté of youth ready to change the world. Forming a communal family, the story follows their growing commitment to the creation of a new culture, one based on social action, expanded awareness, new insights into the nature of mind, and the courage to make change.
Christian Brooks, haunted by a fiery riot in India, arrives in Berkeley after leaving the ministry, seeking a new path to God. Kathleen Murray hitches to San Francisco with best friend, Marcelle Arceneaux, and exchanges picket lines for a more direct method of altering consciousness. After an arrest for a small amount of marijuana, Myles Corbet must choose between prison and betraying his oldest friend. Seeking knowledge through science, brilliant young botany student Jerry Putnam discovers the shamanic calling. Lisa leaves the man she loves to enter an ashram to become a celibate, a bramachari, and study with a Hindu Master. Attorney Lance Bormann carefully walks between worlds to defend his young clients. Opposing them, drug agent Dolph Bremer vows to crush the counterculture movement through any means necessary.
Book One: Intentions significantly addresses contemporary issues of relevance--those conflicts between political idealism and the old order, violent police overreach, and the beginnings of America's failed War on Drugs.
