The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp

This true story, set in the late 1960s, follows the journey of Kozmos Lovejoy, a young artist living in San Francisco fascinated by psychedelics, spiritual mythology, and Jungian therapy. One night, he dreams of a banquet in a Renaissance castle where he meets a beautiful young woman who seems to know him and a joyous, vibrant man in a toga who blesses the feast with laughter and joy. A few weeks later, while hiking in the jungle near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Koz discovers a spring that flows into a jungle pool. He meets the girl from his dream who shares a spiritual feast of knowledge and wisdom hidden for thousands of years in myths and metaphors buried in books and ancient texts. Thus begins Kozmos Lovejoy's journey of self-discovery, taking him from Puerto Vallarta across the American Southwest and finally high into the French Alps, where he camps with the Sufis and shares in this Feast of Knowledge. Here, the secret of stardust is revealed to him, and he gains a deeper understanding of this transformative period of awakening global consciousness. The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp is an epic adventure that blends Patrick O'Brien's personal experiences with a profound understanding of human potential. It celebrates a remarkable journey of self-awareness, inspiring the hearts, dreams, and imagination of those who dare surrender to the unknown by choice or chance.
