Escape From The Shadow

Retired from a career in the United States Navy as a Radioman Chief Petty Officer, William (Bill) Paul Castillo’s return to civilian life brings with him the burden of a brief love affair with a Navy Nurse aboard a United States hospital ship, the USS Sanctuary. His chance encounter with Diane Fulton left her pregnant with his child, something he did not learn until much later in life

Bill lives with the burdens and memories of his Navy profession. The woman he meets who eventually becomes his wife and the mother of his second child, introduces him to one of her friends and mentors, Juan Santos. It is Juan Santos who teaches Bill the burden of ancient archetypes implanted into the collective unconscious first discovered by Carl Gustav Jung and illuminated by Immanuel Velikovsky. Juan Santos is concerned with the consequence of these archetypes for humanity which appears determined to forever involve itself in conflict, wars, suffering, and the destruction of Planet Earth. Bill struggles to realize that he can free himself from the burden and conflicts in his own life by personally understanding the origin of deeply implanted archetypes to achieve his private escape from the shadow of Kukulkan.

If he could escape from the shadow of Kukulkan his life would be filled with love, family and good friends, the gifts of a promising and auspicious future.
