Hollister Author Encourages Readers to Seek Spiritual Path

Friday, October 07, 2005

Hollister resident Iran Maurice White wanted to tell a tale with a heartfelt spiritual message. His recently published novel shares his story with the world.

“The Mhystery of Everyone’s Guardian Angel” details the story of a young boy named Quaero who takes a spiritual journey to discover the truth within himself.

He grew up in San Jose and his family moved to Hollister when he was 16. He finished his last two years of high school as a Haybaler.

His first name Iran (pronounced EYE-wren) means “guardian angel” in the ancient Aramaic language, he said. This meaning has guided him in his own spiritual quest.

I don't know if there's some sort of Chaldo-Assyrian etc. background in his family, or whether he found this himself, but it does indeed look like an Aramaic word, "our Watcher" (עירן). The Watchers, you will recall, are the angels who descended before the Flood, taught human beings technology, consorted with mortal women, and begat the giants. The story is in the Book of the Watchers in 1 Enoch 1-36. These are not your usual guardian angels, but to each his own.
