Mirrors of Illusion

Every emotion is born out of either love or fear. At any single moment, the presence of one is the absence of another. Our fear based emotions (anger, hatred, fear etc) are driven by our basic instinct to survive and they trigger the body's automatic fight or flight reaction. The trouble with fight or flight is that it will be triggered with 'perceived' danger too and perception is subject to our experiences so in effect we become prisoners of those experiences trapped behind fear and the illusion of danger. To break free from this prison, Jonathan must learn to love himself, his neighbor and his enemy.Mirrors of Illusion is a story about Jonathan's journey. His deep affection for his family and Emilie are only matched by the feelings of anxiety and apprehension that they also evoke. As he works hard to make something of himself and take care of his alcoholic brother and mother, he chooses to end his relationship with Emilie - a decision that leaves both of them in immeasurable pain. He then meets Peter, his new belligerent boss but loving father with a troubled soul. Peter unwittingly forces Jonathan to reflect on himself, his family and Emilie while asking himself one question...which part of them and his life is actually real?
