Favorite Lines:

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

“…the only thing you can be certain about is your personal conscious awareness, at this moment.”

“Bottom line: it appears that less brainwork equals greater consciousness.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book serves as an update to Dr. Eisenberg’s 1977 book, Inner Spaces: Parapsychological Explorations of the Mind and, to massively understate its purpose, to explore how reality works. While outside of my usual genre preferences, I was still interested in learning more especially with the pressures and stress brought on in today’s society.

Classified as mental & spiritual  healing, meditation, and spiritual self-help, this book explores the intersection of science and spirituality and I found that I personally enjoyed the inclusion of the sciences. Throughout the book, Eisenberg includes supporting evidence for various topics including alternate realities, brain science and consciousness, how thoughts become things, lucid dreaming, and much more. While there are a variety of interesting and thought provoking topics being covered in this book, Eisenberg still manages to convey his ideals and insights in an easy to understand way for those of us less familiar on the subjects. I especially enjoyed the sections on Emotional Self-Regulation and Meditation. 

As someone who would identify as a more agnostic individual, I found this to be an enthusiastically written and engaging book. Eisenberg’s passion for the subjects he writes about really shines through and I think that is what made this such an intriguing read. I could see this being a great resource for readers to get exposure to a unique blend of spiritual and scientific revelations that could lead to some deep self-reflection and mindfulness practices. 

Summary:

Overall, while outside my usual comfort zone, I found this to be an interesting and thought provoking read – although I will admit that I struggled with a couple of minor existential crises while reading this. Touching on the science and spirituality behind reality and consciousness, this book could be for anyone interested in exploring parapsychology, the human mind, consciousness, reality, meditation and other related practices.  You can check out the book trailer here. Happy reading!

Review: Legacy of the Third Way by Abdul Quayyum Khan Kundi

Synopsis:

I often teased her, saying, “Nour, you’ve chosen the wrong major. How many women philosophers do you know in the history of mankind?” She’d respond by calling me a misogynist, sexist, intolerant, and a woman-hater.

***

“I need some guidance. How will I finance my college tuition? I mean, who will give a job or scholarship to a convicted criminal? Will I be able to get a job after I graduate?” Alex’s concerns reopened my still-fresh wound.

***

Dive into the captivating world of political intrigue and societal evolution in “Legacy of the Third Way,” a compelling novel that takes readers on a thrilling journey through a not-so-distant future. Set against the backdrop of a world in flux, where traditional ideologies clash with the demands of progress, the novel weaves a gripping tale of power, ideals, and the indomitable human spirit.

At the heart of the story is Sher Shah, a family man who is thrown into the limelight to challenge the status quo. The novel unfolds through multiple perspectives, offering a kaleidoscopic view of the characters’ lives as they navigate a world shaped by political upheaval and societal transformation. As Sher Shah grapples with the consequences of their choices, the narrative unfolds like a tapestry, revealing the intricacies of power, loyalty, and the pursuit of a better future.

The novel explores not only the grand stage of political machinations but also the intimate corners of human relationships. Richly developed characters grapple with dilemmas that resonate with the challenges of our own time, creating a narrative that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

“Legacy of the Third Way” is a masterfully crafted exploration of the intersection between ideology and reality, inviting readers to reflect on the choices we make as individuals and as a society. As the pages turn, the novel challenges preconceived notions, posing questions about the nature of progress, the price of change, and the enduring legacy that our decisions leave in the world.

For those seeking a riveting blend of speculative fiction and social commentary, “Legacy of the Third Way” stands as a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the complexities of our shared human experience.

Favorite Lines:

“While Americans are known for their compassion and empathy under normal circumstances, emergencies often bring out the same greed and insecurity inherent in human nature.”

“Humans are failing to learn from past mistakes. We’ve already damaged the climate by polluting the air, water, and soil, leading to man-made disasters such as the disappearance of glaciers due to rising temperatures and rising water levels that have submerged vast areas. Now, we’re disrupting the balance of society by accepting an exception as the norm.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

This books follows Sher Shah, flashing between the present where he has been diagnosed with colon cancer and chooses to recount his life in journals where we, as readers, are taken on a journey through the past with a younger Sher Shah.

I found this book to be really interesting. While it focuses on political themes, there are also notes of rich culture, history, and fascinating philosophy. Kundi did a great job at weaving together a story full of human experiences and ideologies while challenging complex societal issues.

I also really enjoyed the futuristic aspect of this book. At first I was confused on how the storyteller was born in 2020 and telling the story but as we progress further along, I realized that this story takes us to the future where things such as communication IDs and medical history chips are considered normal. Kundi  cleverly uses futuristic technology to illustrate points that are relevant in today’s society.

Summary:

Overall, while this may not be my typical read, I still found it very interesting from a philosophical perspective. If you like political fiction that dives into some complex issues of society in a creative way with notes of romance, drama, and culture while also including futuristic aspects then this book could be for you. Happy reading!
