From birth to death, we pass the same milestones, forks in the road, and dead ends. Each next step may lead us to disaster. Dennis Noel, a native of the dual-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, shares lessons from his own journey in book one of his life story. His prime directive is to show the interconnectivity of everything in the universe, between universes, and between beings. His story is connected to othersand their stories are all part of a much bigger story. He reveals regrets many of us choose to ignore. Some of these lie buried deep in the recesses of our minds to be forgotten or diluted with enough justifications to dissolve any real ownership, but he seeks to move toward a more enlightened path. He also looks back at the many times in his life that help was given, sometimes in the form of angels disguised as strangers or via doors opened with whispers urging him closer to faith.

In the end Ben acquires immense power, and through his consuming obsession almost becomes the very thing he seeks to destroy.

He typically starts out from a realistic situation, then introduces a twist in the psyche of the main character that launches the rest of the action - for example, in The Magnanimous Cuckold a suspected glimmer of lust in Petrus's eye suffices to incite Bruno and to subjugate the other figures in the play to his expression of folly - and the realistic is soon overtaken by the obsessional and finally the absurd.
