April 21, 201230 years ago reading a book by Gene Savoy changed my life.
Today I read the following news item:
Explorer who found lost Peru cities dies Sun Sep 16, 2:44 AM ET
RENO, Nev. - Douglas Eugene "Gene" Savoy, an explorer who discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru and led long-distance sailing adventures to learn more about ancient cultures, has died. He was 80.
In 1977 Gene Savoy published Project X: The Search for the Secrets of Immortality. My wife and I were in the middle of a three-year battle with infertility that eventually broke up our marriage. I had wanted to name a boy child Orion and started to research this mythical man. I learned that he had been blinded and had been sent to the eastern shore to watch Apollo (the Sun) rise from the sea to regain his sight. I had been reading about sun-worshippers for years but had just started to understand that sun worship was often practiced as sun staring. Project X is about Savoy's theories about sun staring by the pre-Columbian Peruvians.
I never had that boy child but reading Savoy's book helped me find the personal strength to change my own name to Orion and to absorb the healing strength of the story into my life.
I now see that this one book is just a minor aspect of this great man's work. So I wonder, as I read of his passing, if others have also been changed by their contact with his writings.
