There are powerful groups interacting with Earth that have been working hard to suppress human awareness about extensive changes currently taking place. Their abilities to continue suppressing the truth through the end of 2015 will not be possible. I do not write these words for the sake of creating sensational essays or for entertainment purposes. Nor is this an attempt to grab attention through carefully scripted fiction that is nonsensically supported by doom and gloom scenarios. There are no doom and gloom scenarios attached to any of the forthcoming changes. Everything is happening, universally, because Vast Intelligence has prescribed it this way. It is vitally important that readers understand there is nothing to fear in any of the lifetimes we participate in. Everything sentient beings experience is predicated on garnering knowledge for Vast Intelligence. In this book, Michael Morris explains what the End Game taking place really means for life on Earth.

On the surface, Brandon Willard seems like your average eight-year-old boy. He loves his mama, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and G. I. Joe. But Brandon's life is anything but typical. Wise beyond his years, Brandon understands he's the only one in this world he can count on. It's an outlook that serves him well the day his mama leaves him behind at the Raleigh bus station and sets off to Canada with "her destiny" -- the latest man that she hopes will bring her happiness. The day his mother leaves, Brandon takes the first step toward shaping his own destiny. Soon he sends himself spending pleasant days playing with his cousins on his grandparents' farm and trying to forget the past. In the safety of that place, Brandon finally is able to trust the love of an adult to help iron out the wiry places until his nerves are as steady as any other boy's.But when Sophie Willard shows up a year later with a determined look in her eye and a new man in tow, Brandon's grandparents ignore a judge's ruling and flee the state with Brandon. Creating a new life and identity in a small Florida town, Brandon meets the people who will fill him with self-worth and self-respect. He slowly becomes involved with "God's Hospital," a church run by the gregarious Sister Delores, a woman who is committed to a life of service for all members of the community, black and white, regardless of some townsfolk's disapproval.
