A Great Read

"Hey Nostradamus" by Douglas Coupland

I recieved this book from a friend not long ago. I skimmed through it once already, blown away at it's hidden intent. From religious dogma, to the complexities of human nature, it covers a large range of thought provoking perspectives. Then tonight I picked it up again, feeling the book had more to offer that I had overlooked.
The hair on my neck stands up, at the thought of someone buying me a book that is a reflection of my inner conflicts.
Perhaps I than realized that the world is far to small, we all think, and assume our thoughts our unique of ourselves but in truth much of our programming is innate in all of us. We dwell on the same field of complexities.

"You never said much around the house, but you were a formidable opponent. I could see in your eyes , your were competition. Children are cruel in their ability to instantly identify a fraud, and that especially, was your gift and curse. I was so insecure about my beliefs that I feared being exposed by my own child."

The author writes from many different perspectives, from a young man, woman, from a parent or caregiver. He has mastered not so much his writting skills, but his deepth of understanding human nature.
Although the book is fictional, it is of it's self, a form of healing. Truly enjoyed and highly recommended.

If you are in spiritual limbo, please read, may it help "AWAKEN" you.
