The Guardians ascended.  Millennia ago they had finally reached the apex of loving and cherishing one another, enabling them to transcend their old ways and become the Guardians. They had learned to love all equally, pouring out all of the love that they held in their hearts to all.  Never cherishing one above another, and set to Guard the Authentics of earth, they had built for them a world in which they could live, grow, love, and ultimately to ascend themselves.So, the earth of 'Continuity' by C. Allen Brown is not as it seems.  There are only 3,137 Authentic human souls, that have ever existed.  The rest of 'humanity' are simply 'skins', made to be a backdrop for the Authentics to interact with.  All created by the Guardians.Until the day Mason Fiske has his seizure, and wakes up in the hospital....with the ability to heal!  The Guardians recognize that, somehow, another soul has been born.  A soul that they did not create.  A new Authentic that should not exist.  An Authentic who, inexplicably has the power to not only heal, but to create other souls as well.But, can an Authentic create another soul out of nothing?  If not, where are these souls coming from?  And can an ascended being like a Guardian, who remembers what it is like to love one above all others truly deny himself that kind of love again...throughout eternity?  And if a Guardian should break that barrier, and choose to love one....what would happen to the world that they had created?Beautiful, fast paced, exciting and thought provoking.  Wonderful idea and smartly written.
