The Sleeper Must Awaken

Book excerpt: The human condition is a strange one at best. Finding ourselves in a world nearly void of any profound natural predators, with the ability to unconditionally love and solve the most complex problems in the most creative ways; we choose to make the world an ever increasingly dangerous place, in stead of creating Utopia. In our relentless pursuit of happiness and perfection, we create the very opposite. The Sleeper Must Awaken dives deep into the human psyche, exploring from the archetypal dreamscapes of our subconscious minds to the remarkable similarities between Super String Theory and ancient mysticism. It opens the door to a journey within ourselves, searching for the root of this phenomenon and presenting possible solutions to a world on the edge. Author Bio Dr. Jean Erasmus is a South African born medical practitioner. Before moving to the United Kingdom, he has worked mostly with less fortunate souls, managing a wide variety of illnesses, ranging from Tuberculosis to HIV/AIDS. He has also been involved in medical legal work as well as lecturing in Primary Health Care. The world of medicine - where cold, evidence-based science intermingles with the warm, complex, emotional and spiritual human being - has sparked an interest in Jean, leading him to pursue the connection between these two diverse poles of the human condition. This pursuit, offset by the dramatically changing physical, social and spiritual landscape of the world, led him into writing this book in an attempt to finding the missing piece of the current human-led world puzzle, and to present possible solutions.
