Description
The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp. is a riveting story of adventure, enlightenment, love and personal discovery that wants to be told. Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp. sets out to discover the human potential hidden in the American culture during the revolutionary spiritual renaissance of the 1960s and '70s. Kozmos learns at age nine to hitchhike so he doesn't have to walk up a steep hill to get home. Over the years, he discovers that he can go anywhere. He doesn't need a car, or money, or even a destination. He knows he is free.
While attending art school in San Francisco, Kozmos has a dream that awakens him on a journey to enlightenment. Later, when invited to spend a couple of weeks at the beach in Puerto Vallarta, he discovers a pure water spring flowing into a jungle stream where he meets the girl in the dream. She introduces him to the Ancient Wisdom of the arcane human history, hidden for thousands of years in myths and metaphors.
After being arrested and forced to leave Mexico, Kozmos hops on freight trains and hitchhikes home to San Francisco; he recognizes he's not the same. His spiritual experiences in Mexico have transformed him, which leads to spending the summer of 1969 learning more and more about new spiritual possibilities before returning to Vallarta and reconnecting with the girl in the dream.
However, things have changed in Vallarta. Kozmos finds himself on the road again. Not knowing where to go, he just keeps moving. Finally, he finds an abandoned building in Ohio, where he fasts and meditates until he hears a Voice that guides him to Santa Fe, NM. and joins a family of kindred spirits that are building a yoga ashram and vegetarian restaurant.
Inspired by the experiences in Santa Fe, he heads to Denver to open another yoga school and restaurant. But this is becoming all too stable for Kozmos. After a couple of years of spiritual politicking, an arranged marriage that falls apart, and a love affair that opens his heart, he splits and hitchhikes to Chamonix, France. He studies for two summers with the Sufis in the French Alps, living in caves, meadows and tents at 8,000 feet in the French National Forest before returning to Colorado to share the love, light and wisdom of The Adventures.
In addition to being an intimate look back to a great period of awakening consciousness, The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp. celebrates the greater journey of self-discovery. Patrick O'Brien blends his own experiences with his keen understanding of the period to create a story that is adventurous, poignant and transformative - one that will connect with hearts everywhere.
