Waking the Sleeping Mind John Eric Sparacio

ABOUT THE BOOK This book is a streaming verbal form of consciousness inspired by my own unfolding perceptions of the world around me. Since each page is limited to a single thought or statement, it is this simplicity of word that gives the reader a vast amount of thought to debate within one's self or group. It is a reflection of the beginning thought patterns I have experienced, which helped my mind awaken and ignite my desire for learning. I hope this book will have the same effect on you, the reader. It also combines art with literature inasmuch as the design is centered- a place all of us strive to be, a place I see as the ultimate place of peace. The reader should also feel free to make his or her own notes in the blank spaces around each thought as his or her consciousness unfolds. The black-and-white design represents the duality of life, and the circular light form on the cover is the eternal image of God. The reader will notice the name under my birth name (a birth name is assigned to us). This is my chosen name and means "message of hope" in Hindi. The entire book is a single conscious thought void of any structural distractions, such as page numbers, too many words that can lead to thought exhaustion, and colors that confuse the concept. I hope everyone has a great experience in his or her journey through my mind's eye and will walk away a bit more enlightened, for I believe that through knowledge and wisdom one gains enlightenment. Good journey JES (Aedesh Amal)
