THE STORY

Two lives.
One eternal journey.
Together.

Adam Returns & The Five New Commandments follows an unconventional dual-protagonist journey between Michael, a modern man searching for meaning, and Adam, an ancient consciousness remembering humanity’s unfinished purpose.

Their connection begins beneath the sands of Egypt in 1996 and unfolds through dreams, visions and lyrical transmissions — leading toward the Five New Commandments, the Seed of No Greed, Eve’s redemption and a final question: can humanity remember what it was before it is too late?

Michael searches for meaning. Adam reminds us of the past. Together, they embark on a journey to awaken humanity to Living Eternity.

Forward from AdamA Letter to EveThe narrative and emotional foundation for eternity.

Dearest Eve,

I shall cherish the honour to scribe in this book, with the strength of an army, your consent overlooked. As I draw up the oceans the salt will remain. A cryptic saline solution floats all to the mermaid’s dismay.

Do not be disenchanted, I am extending my hand, for I have been to the mountains and explored all of land, and I have done it but thrice to help you understand.

I use Grand Master illusion to execute each escape, first your prince under your wing, but never your king you did state. But as King I kept record of your songs teaching false fate, your songs lead the weak, the weak souls you take.

Way back then again when you offered the mask for my task, as man I dove in, and the insight was vast, as you answer with truth all the questions I asked.

Be it then again when, next time or today, four words we did share ‘for protection we’ll stay,’ in this parallel time we first flew separate ways.

To the second by choice, we did land in the garden. You could hear the snake's voice causing your soul to harden. A dilemma! Use my faith and in God seek your pardon but you stood behind snake, cryptic fear I did see as you willed snake to guard forbidden fruit in the tree, I've no fear of snake! It is your greed that intrigued. Knowing up until then we shared all that we need.

From then I did pace, as I questioned your haste till the instant I stopped, watching rotten fruit drop. Like a bomb it did hit me, the fruits overripe, fruit not suited for picking but the seed inside is all right! The seed of no greed, kept from you out of sight. Breaking down all that happened, I again gained free insight!

You did not need me here anymore and so I wandered off alone. Doomed with no chance for forgiveness, thrice I lived and died alone. Life to bone! Life to bone! Life to bone!

The third time we met, a new moon reached its crest, and I took the form wild dog! I did why? For I heard your howl as I learned to growl, and to the moon you would cry for insight. It was then you gave freely insight to see clearly, the cycle of the moon.

With only one month to succeed in this hunt, from that moment I started to groom. I followed your pack, used my sense to stay back, and in the darkness I did loom. For my knowledge was guaranteed doom.

So, I used the next month to succeed in my hunt and I frolicked for fun in your scent. Satisfied your pack was not wise, with the moon due to rise, I present. We crossbred as wild wolves in disguise.

It is blue blood I did pledge as I leapt off the edge, to your amazement your eyes watched me fly. I have again flown a long way, landing safely to say, you can again regain faith as insight.

Eternally yours,
Adam x

Help Me Change The World · Concept song
Hear the words I hear from heaven
Expect from me a friend who cares
Let's change this world together
Put things right and learn to share
Modern man made malnutrition
Everyone should be ashamed
Careful when you leave here
Heaven knows if you share blame
Action from all now is needed
None less than all should make this change
Get onboard for life restored
Eternal living is this way
Take a stand as man and lend a hand
Help to heal the mess we've made
End the hunger for those suffering
Weigh in to watch the starved gain weight
Offer what you can and when you can
Rise up with me to change their fate
Love is needed by the bucketload
Donations needed here in spades
Sample Acrostic · ScribedRemember to ImagineCreation, memory and eternal living.
Realise you're creation
Evolution on the run
Make every moment count
Express your heart and soul as one
Miracles are made here
Blank canvas yours to paint
Every one of us creators
Roleplay sinner or play saint
Time here is not forever
On towards your final day
Imagine life without you
Memories of you on display
Align yourself with heaven
God will listen if you pray
Imagine life eternal
Now come back to life in play
Eternal living works this way
