Summary

"You do not have to be a deeply spiritual person to understand what the human element is, or how it applies to you, or what you are supposed to do with this book once you read it."

This is the story of becoming, the process of actualization that we all go through, especially when we are most unaware that it's happening. Written with striking familiarity and uncanny understanding, this audiobook will open your heart and touch your soul by putting into words the things that are both deeply rooted and hidden in us that we miss them even when they are most transparent. The human element is the thing that binds us, the thing we have to overcome, how we have to stop standing in our own way and let everything unfold. It is a philosophical take on what it means to overcome humanness by acceptance, initially realized through the experiences of sleep paralysis and other awakenings.

There are better…

Thinking aloud. I like her work but this feels like a reading of her mindfulness journal. There are better.

Sharp tool!

Read this book one chapter a day and give yourself plenty of time to consider, and go back over, what she says. If you just plow through it you will miss a lot…

Worth It

This work is meaningful and deep, but the readers voice and some of the anecdotes were a put off for me at first. Ultimately it is a wonderful work of the truth of life and being - definitely worth it! It is short (about 2 hours to listen to) and direct. Will probably listen again at some point.

I recommend this book

I recommend this book for awareness of our identity, what makes us us. We are who we are not who we or others define us as. Worth a re-read.

Great Short Read.

While it’s not as good as her 101 Essay book, this book offers lots of thought provoking moments that make you pause and evaluate who you are and who you want to be.
