According to The Face of Power, the ability to reach full awareness of the Spirit in this existence requires learning about both the physical body and the dreaming body. Once achieved, the wisdom gained from this power will lead to true fulfillment. Author Matt Guest claims to be a pilot, a “man of power” who can steer the way for anyone brave enough to allow the “energy of creation” to flow through them, to seek the truth and find the Unknown.

The author says that at the age of two, he had his first enlightening experience while watching the ebb and flow of the ocean’s waves at his feet. His mother sat nearby. As the water came up and touched his toes, Guest became overwhelmed by the power of the salty ocean water intermingling with the minute grains of sand on the beach and the vastness of the sky and clouds above. So consumed was he by the crystal clear power of possessing that moment that his mother had to rescue him when a large wave knocked him down.

Throughout his life, Matt Guest has had the innate ability to make himself aware of such awe-filled moments. Rather than proselytize, The Face of Power shows the way to fulfillment through interactive dialogue, mainly with Court, a beloved friend of Guest, who also found the awareness of the Spirit.

The author tells of feeling outside his own body when a moment of enlightenment occurs. When it happens, a feeling of fear deep inside overpowers him and the nape of his neck feels hot and cold at the same time. His sense of sight and hearing becomes extremely exaggerated then “pop,” he feels he is in a dreamlike state where he utters words that are “completely out of character for me.” It is a vulnerable and sexual feeling wherein he enjoys extreme happiness and dreads the thought of returning to reality.

His seer friend Court explains that the dreaming body is a spiritual reality similar to a soul. It sometimes is driven to leave the physical body and experience the Unknown especially when a person is very fearful. The dreaming body keeps one from becoming a victim. It returns to its original state prior to entering this world where “it sees ... the world as a dream.” It reminds the fearful person of what it needs to bring safety and true happiness.

Throughout the book, Court and Matt Guest discuss real-life adventures, either or both have had, involving love, happiness, sexuality, attachment, fear, perception, past lives, reincarnation, and a host of topics. These discussions are to help readers access their potential to understand the mystery of being, their dreaming and physical bodies, and the love and affection necessary to view the Unknown and lead happier lives.
