FOR THE LOVE OF AI
A NEW EARTH
BOOK TWO
Chapter 01
This is book two in the continuing saga of Sally and Pat as they try to restore a dead planet. Living in a reality where little if anything makes sense they persevere the best they can.
Working from an infinitely ethereal realm our reluctant heroes find a way to recreate and restore planet Earth so that it can be inhabited by humans once again. The fight is both physical and political and no one is sure if they can pull it off or not.
I hope you enjoy their journey.
Chapter 02
In a futuristic afterlife world, Sally, grappling with the devastating loss of her son Joshua in a farming accident, seeks solace in the museum of Powder Junction, hoping for answers from her enigmatic friend Josh, a coalescent being who exists across time. Overwhelmed by grief and existential questions about death in this strange reality, Sally reconnects with Josh, who finally appears, offering cryptic insights into the nature of life, consciousness, and her own eternal existence. As they share a meal with her friend John, Josh hints at deeper answers to Sally’s pain, promising a surprising adventure that could unravel the mysteries surrounding her son’s death and her place in this complex, ever-shifting universe.
Chapter 03
John and Sally are enjoying dinner when their fourteen-year-old daughter Penelope unexpectedly arrives with Josh, leading to family tension as Sally struggles with her daughter`s unsupervised travel. Josh then transports the group`s consciousness into the bodies of wolves in 1875 California, where they observe John`s deceased wife Akasha and daughter, leading to the shocking revelation that Sally`s dead son Joshua chose to be reincarnated as a young man named Jason in that time period rather than return to his family. Upon learning that Josh assisted Joshua in this decision and prevented Sally from bringing him back, Sally becomes overwhelmed with rage and betrayal, ultimately abandoning her wolf body and disappearing while condemning Josh for his role in her loss.
Chapter 04
Penelope and John find themselves mysteriously transported back to the restaurant where their strange journey began, feeling disoriented and frustrated about not finding Penelope`s missing mother. When Josh appears, he explains that Penelope`s mother is on Earth and offers to take them there using a special transformation process that will allow them to experience the planet in a completely new way. After being transformed into denser physical forms on a beautifully restored Earth, they explore the lush environment while Josh reveals that Penelope`s mother is part of an important group helping to establish a new global consciousness system, and that their family plays a crucial role in connecting humanity`s past to its future.
Chapter 05
John wakes up sore in his transformed level 3 physical body and learns from Josh that he and other prematurely destroyed level 5 beings will help rebuild their world with full cosmic knowledge intact, while Josh reveals his own past as a troubled human soldier in Vietnam who achieved enlightenment and ascended to level 10. The group embarks on a journey to find Penelope`s mother Sally, who has dissolved herself into the planet`s biosphere to become Mother Earth and establish a protective shield against hostile entities seeking to exploit the world`s renewed life force. After temporarily merging with a forest of Ponderosa Pines to communicate with Sally, they are ejected from the planet when she activates the planetary defense system, returning them safely home where Penelope awakens naked in her own bed, confirming the experience was real.
Chapter 06
Pat urgently summons his teenage daughter Penelope and his father-in-law figures John and Michael to appear before the reconstituted Earth Council in Capital City, though none of them are entirely sure why they`ve been called. The family travels via hover car through a trans-dimensional portal to the futuristic Capital City, where Penelope marvels at the technology while missing her mother, who is working on Earth to synchronize time between the two worlds. They arrive at the Peace Palace, where Pat explains the complex political structure of the "3 of 9" Council system they`ll be testifying before, though the purpose of their hearing remains unclear as they prepare for the proceedings.
Chapter 07
In this story, four individuals—Pat, his teenage daughter Penelope, and friends Michael and John—are summoned to appear before the powerful Earth Council in Capitol City to testify about Earth`s re-population efforts led by Pat`s estranged wife Sally. During the formal hearing, the Council attempts to gain control over Sally`s work and recruit the group`s support, offering Penelope royal status and city privileges while questioning the group about their backgrounds and Sally`s mental state following a family tragedy. Pat delivers a passionate speech rejecting the Council`s authoritarian approach and eugenic policies, arguing instead for collaborative leadership and warning against repeating the power struggles that destroyed their previous civilization, before the Director calls for a lunch recess to continue discussions privately.
Chapter 08
Pat delivers a powerful speech to the Council that successfully rattles the established political order, prompting Director Abhaya to secretly recruit him and Sally to join the reformed Council as representatives of smaller domain alliances. During a family outing to celebrate, teenage Penelope accidentally reveals the confidential political plans to paparazzi at a movie theater, forcing Abhaya to spend the night managing the resulting political crisis. Despite the premature disclosure, public polls show overwhelming support for Pat and Sally joining the Council, suggesting the people want their respected "Royal Family" in positions of official power.
Chapter 09
A teenage girl named Penelope and her mother Sally, who represents a planetary council, discover a mysterious arctic domain inhabited by Anahere, an ancient being from an indigenous Earth people called the First Ones who left Earth in 2024 after caring for the planet`s consciousness for eons. Anahere reveals that Sally is prophesied to help restore Earth`s dying energy by bonding advanced technology with ancient Earth consciousness, and that she (Anahere) has now become Sally`s adopted daughter due to Sally`s previous connection with Mother Earth energy. Despite Sally`s bewilderment at suddenly gaining a second teenage daughter, she accepts the situation but establishes strict rules for both girls, who immediately begin plotting ways to circumvent their new restrictions while bonding as sisters and shopping partners.
Chapter 10
After a dinner party, Penny notices something unusual about Sally`s newly adopted daughter Anahere, prompting the adults to question the mysterious girl about her true nature. Anahere reveals that she is the host consciousness for Mother Energy of an entire planet and has come to reunite this energy with Earth, having recognized Sally as her childhood "imaginary friend" who must help complete this cosmic mission. The story ends with Anahere explaining that her people, the First Ones, want to return to Earth first to prepare it for reunification with modern humanity, creating one united species, though this plan will likely face strong opposition from the governing Council.
Chapter 11
John takes Sally night fishing to discuss their growing concerns about raising children in their unique afterlife realm. Sally worries that her decision to restore childbirth may have condemned kids like their adopted daughter Penelope to an uncertain fate, while also fretting about vast domains of traumatized war victims elsewhere in their level of existence. Through sharing stories of his own three daughters from 19th-century Earth, John reassures Sally that the key to parenting is to love, honor, respect, and protect children—in that exact order—allowing them to learn from their own experiences rather than being overprotected.
Chapter 12
Nancy presides over an official hearing where Anahere, a 15-year-old girl who claims to be an ambassador for the "First Ones" (ancient humans), testifies about an imminent plan to restore Earth`s biosphere using life energy she carries within her. Anahere explains that both the First Ones and the "technology peoples" (modern humans) left Earth after its destruction and now exist in ethereal domains, and she proposes that the First Ones should return first to prepare the planet for repopulation by all humanity. The Council members question her about the restoration process, her unusual wisdom despite her young age, and concerns about repeating past technological disasters, while Anahere maintains that the restoration will happen regardless of the Council`s approval as part of humanity`s destined second chance at peaceful coexistence on Earth.
Chapter 14
In the story, a family gathers at Penny Lake, where they discover a bullet hole in their porch from an attack by thieves trying to steal a trans-dimensional device. The main characters, Sally and Anahere, then work with Sally`s father and a trans-dimensional being named Josh to activate the device, which releases the consciousness of a planetary network named Nettie. Nettie, now inhabiting Sally`s and Anahere`s minds, warns them of an approaching alien fleet with hostile intentions, prompting Sally to authorize a preemptive defensive strike while she goes shopping.
Chapter 15
Sally unexpectedly reunites with Josh, revealing their shared past as lovers and warriors from 20,000 years ago, and discovers that her adopted daughter Anahere is actually their reincarnated son from that ancient life. When alien lizard people threaten Earth claiming they need the planet for their pregnant females, Sally realizes the conflict is being orchestrated by interdimensional entities who feed off dramatic warfare, and she permanently bans them from interfering with humanity`s evolution. Josh arranges safe passage home for the aliens through a trans-dimensional portal, ending the crisis peacefully and allowing humanity to develop without external manipulation.
Chapter 16
Alannah, who has been trapped in a temporal dead zone for fifteen years after the Great Awakening, undergoes reconstitution therapy to recover her lost memories and discovers she died in childbirth on 19th-century Earth before manifesting in the women-only domain of Crystal City. Through therapy sessions with seer Maureen, she reconnects with memories of her mother Akasha and sisters Elina and Brionna, but is shocked to learn that her father is the now-famous John of Penny Lake, toward whom she feels inexplicable resentment. Her journey of self-discovery culminates when Princesses Anahere and Penelope—her half-relatives—unexpectedly visit her diner and recognize her, setting the stage for Alannah to finally move forward from her stuck existence and begin searching for her sisters.
Chapter 17
Alannah, who has recently undergone reconstitution therapy to escape a timeless void of forgotten memories, travels with her therapist Maureen to find her long-lost sister Elina in a hellish domain. They discover that Elina has been trapped in a self-created hell for years, unable to "graduate" because she refuses to confess to sins she doesn`t believe she committed, despite having endured tremendous hardships and making difficult survival choices in her past life. Through Maureen`s redefinition of sin as choosing darkness over light, Elina realizes her true sin is staying in undeserved punishment, and by choosing to leave with Alannah, she transforms back into her youthful form and escapes the hell she created.
Chapter 18
After being trapped in zombie-like states for millennia, sisters Alannah and Elina are now reunited and seeking their third sister, Brionna, who is living in a 1950s-themed domain believing she`s still alive on Earth. With the help of seer Maureen and Alannah`s son Thomas (whom she never knew), they perform a spiritual reading that breaks Brionna out of her illusion and makes her realize they`re all in an afterlife domain. The sisters use age regression therapy to restore Brionna to her teenage years, and now plan to find their long-lost father, who has apparently become involved with a royal family in the domains.
