They encounter many intelligent and unusual life-forms and are shocked by nature's amazing awareness and the Guardians of Acronos, two highly-evolved time-travelers, who attempt to share the wisdom of The Seven Harmonies. The Gripps experience one surprising event after another in which time changes, twists and turns until they begin to realize that their thoughts are creating their reality and reality is mirroring who they are and revealing their true nature.There are few times in our lives when we can become lost in a fantasy that can affect our lives in such a meaningful and positive way. You will not forget the characters and the wonder of nature in this story of love, patience, understanding, and redemption that will enhance your life and live in your heart."Portals in Time is a brilliant philosophical New Age novel in which the qualities of two centuries-old classics, Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," are melded into a dynamic futuristic tale. Surpassing dystopian and utopian novels, it is an inspiring spiritual journey that delves into metaphysics and the fundamentals of reality. The time-traveling aspect of the story has the capricious effect of going "down the rabbit hole," and is an enthralling part of the adventure from the first chapter to the last."--Susan Sewell, Readers' Favorite Reviewer"The setting is nothing like I have ever read before, but curiously, it does remind me of something I have known and forgotten, of the sense of being connected to something bigger than myself. Portals in Time: The Quest for Un-Old-Age wakes readers up and provokes in them a reflection on the possibilities of life." --Romuald Dzemo, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer, International Gold Medal

About this title

About the Author:

JOHN TERESSI, a native Californian, began his exploration into human consciousness through the study of psychology and metaphysics. As an intuitive, he experienced a transformational, spiritual event--a suspended moment in time--in the forest of Pebble Beach, CA, when he was still in his twenties.

This memorable experience led him to travel extensively to many, interesting power places throughout Europe and in Mexico, always seeking more answers to satisfy his ever-questioning mind. The wisdom derived from those extensive adventures has been compiled into this lyrical fantasy that is designed to uplift your soul and empower your heart!

"Portals in Time" Captures the Essence of Humanity - It raises profound questions on existence and theories of what is 'Known' and 'Unknown'."--C.J. Jones, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

The book was hard to put down. I spent hours at a time reading it.  Covers society, spirituality, and the mentality of a society weaving it all with quantum physics, and it's so well done I never lost track of the storyline. It made me think about my own existence and belief system." -- Literary Titan 

"Not your ordinary fantasy, Portals in Time has time travel, new and interesting lands, unusual beings, reincarnation, and a philosophy that makes you think beyond the story and look at your own life choices." -- Alex C. Telander, San Francisco Book Review
