Author bio:
Dr Hercules Bantas has been teaching and reading political science for the better part of a decade. It is his opinion that he is too often immersed in some weighty tome or other, the authors of which always use one thousand words where one hundred words would suffice. It was while juggling no less than three weighty tomes by the same author and trying to understand what the fellow was trying to say that the idea of The Reluctant Geek Guides was born. He is well aware that publishing clearly written and unambiguous guides to important ideas in the human sciences is frowned upon in some circles, but he's going to do it anyway. Despite his well documented grumpiness, Hercules claims to like people and can be contacted by email at reluctantgeek[at]iinet.net.au.

Author’s solo performance in finding mass less Creator verses world’s 10,000 best scientists who are searching for the mass less God particle which had triggered the mass. Author avers he has beaten the entire scientific establishment to the goal post as he had not only discovered the God particle which is mass less, but had also published his findings of the mass less Creator’s Universe in 2010 which exists separately in a Quantum Universe. i. e. has discovered precious mass less God or Creator and how life unfolds separately from this mass less Universe which adopts a physical life where it acquires a force by entangling with layers of life of various elements which scientists call it as particle physics. Author’s journey resulted in remarkable twists and turns in a true real life story uncovering conspiracy, blackmagic and world of spirits, ghosts, cemeteries and life after death. How do you fight an invisible enemy who is smarter, more powerful than anything author could do to outwit in a field which was new and alien to his clinical expertise. Author’s body was subjected to every kind of torture, was subjected to numerous road traffic accidents and plans were made to make author mad and pop him off. Author had managed to survive 14 difficult years when he lost his house, car, belongings, was penniless, was sleeping rough on roads without any help. He intensified his efforts to find the unknown Original God who could help him from 3.00am in the early morning meditation until one day Creator of this World came down on Earth to help author get out of his difficulties and started a new beginning or awakening which finally culminated in receiving new knowledge in 2009. This new knowledge answers every question about Creator and how he functions and controls our World in a space where time is fixed by the Creator. When the entire World tree of religion is corrupt, with roots extending high up beyond our physical World, one God descended to transform the world into Paradise which will show the power of His might when the entire World will begin to tremble. Author is explaining the inner workings of human body as well as how spirits work. Physical war is easy to see, but spiritual war is even more powerful than human beings are aware of. Anyone can see and meet Creator. Love and truth is the only way to melt Creator along with a sincere prayer. Creator does not live on our Earth. All the physical places of worship are simply starting place to find God. Creator is not found in any places of worship on earth. Instead man has made the mistake of making them the end place. All the scriptures and religions of this world will be destroyed with the onset of Paradise after the World War III. Creator retains absolute veto power to change anything on earth. Creator’s message to deliver to the entire World is leave all the religions of this world and come to his abode where there is peace and happiness. Creator’s World is eternally lit. Only human Quantum light of the Soul can see and meet Creator who can communicate in less than 1 second. Where email cannot reach there G-mail or GQ -mail i.e. God’s Quantum mail was the only safe method to negotiate harmful and dangerous territories. Author urges any genuine seeker to develop their Q-mail power which will unfold many divine secrets about Creator’s world. Significance of 1st and 2nd Pyramids, significance of symbol Oam and Swastica, Washington Monument, eye of the Dollar Bill, Avatar film and the lost symbol is explained by author.

A prolific artist, writer and inventor, Lewis Evans currently lives in Vancouver, Canada, with his wife (author and empowerment coach Olga Sheean) and rather a lot of paintings. In 2009, as the result of a dream, he was inspired to write Hominine, a novel that emerged as a new genre—a geo-political thriller with heart and a social conscience. In fictionalizing tough, real-life issues, political dilemmas and global crises, Evans depicts frighteningly plausible scenarios, while providing refreshingly sane solutions. His second novel is due to be published in 2012.
