This first book, in the series of eight, leads the reader further into the spiritual dimension. The Cyannian Trilogy, related the story of a cycle of events on a single physical plane. The Voyage to Infinity expands that idea; witnessing the birth of a spirit, and then following it on its journey across several material planes.

For the young soul and its two proven spiritual guides, the implications of this mission are two-fold. As mentors, the spiritual guides' assignment is to chaperone and counsel the young spirit during its search for the truth. If, or when the young soul achieves perfection, the reward for its guides will be the freedom of the Infinite One's Eternal Kingdom. For the young spirit, and its eventual companion, the successful completion of their voyage offers them the mentorship of a new-born soul, leading to a similar opportunity.

In the introductions of these books, I seek to offer ideas, I hope, will raise the curiosity of my readers to explore the reasons for our own purpose here. As with all my books, I make no plans. I simply allow those beyond to use me as their pen; sitting at my computer, typing out their message as the information comes. However, to the sceptic, what is written will appear to express what I believe is taking place around us.

Over the years, I have learned to accept the spiritual world on faith; finding the proof that it exists, manifest from that faith. One of the most over-powering facts I constantly refer to, and which influenced my belief, arose from contemplating the definition of the word 'inevitability'. In the context of the physical existence, it implies how we will all make our transition from this life, and enter the spiritual dimension whether we like it or not? it is a fact that none of us can dispute.

The spiritual inception, portrayed in the opening chapter of this book, describes my understanding of how my sources imply a spirit might be created by an Infinite Being, and then set off on its journey. Whether viewed as fact or fiction, it symbolises the idea for me that we here, have also embarked on a similar journey to learn essential truths.

To illustrate the relationship between the Physical and spiritual dimensions, I have placed text between three asterisks. These transcripts relate the relevance of the observations made by the mentors in the spiritual world. Used in the third book of my trilogy, Avataria, the idea seeks to describe how the physical planes are the arenas where the wills of these young souls are contested. Journeying through each material plane in the Octology, the reader learns how this threat from the dark influence focuses on these worlds; the deeds of the young souls there, governing the final outcome of their ultimate, spiritual achievement.

Another mystery, that has teased humanity's curiosity for centuries, is the lack of alien contact. It prompts me to deliberate on the question; are we unique? My sources tell me not; so why, then, have we not been approached? Answering that question, in sight of our present level of technology, clearly reveals our limitations in achieving viable methods of contact. But when viewed from the spiritual aspect, it would make more sense if advanced planetary civilisations were governed by a Divine protocol; preventing superior ones from interfering with others progressing at more infant levels of existence. I discuss this idea, to some extent, in my autobiography 'Sixty Psychic Years'.

My mother, a practicing spiritual medium of long standing, put forward an intriguing scenario she had learned from her sources. It implied that any physical, alien civilisation, possessing the freedom of the universe, were inhabitants of a higher physical plane; incarnated, proven souls in the service of the supreme Entity. To accept this as an answer to the protocol question, pivots upon an individual's ability to believe in what lies beyond the physical life.

My gut feeling comes down in favour of the Divine protocol theory. The prospect of cruel, greedy, immoral civilisations, existing with the ability to extend their life-styles beyond the barriers of their worlds, places a huge question over the moral success of any developing world. The belief in a supreme entity governing the universe may be viewed as fantasy within a civilisation. But my experiences in life have convinced me of His presence, and that a world's atmosphere is the barrier He places around it, and which can only be breached by a morally, united people...
