The Journey to Awakening by Michael Lanfield with music from Moby is a short audiobook about the current state of the world controlled by governments and the monetary system. What is the cause of some of the most serious problems of our time? How can we address them so we can all live in a genuinely free and peaceful world?
Many of us live in cities in society and depend on the monetary system and government city services like water, electricity, and food for survival. We’re stuck in this life, either so dependent or can’t find a way to break free from it. The “system” no longer works for us, so we must find another way to live in harmony with all life. It is not giving us true peace and freedom, nor a real purpose in life.
So what can we do individually and collectively as humans, to raise our consciousness and bring more love and joy into the world? Why have all our efforts to bring about peace and freedom, not work? For thousands of years, we've been trying, without much luck. Can governments and politicians or religion really help us, or do we need to create another completely new world? What about the monetary system? Is this working? Why haven’t we already solved most of the problems in our society?
Is it the fault of the big bankers and the megacorporations? Why are there so many unanswered questions? Why are many people spiritually and mentally wounded and depressed, stressed, and living in constant fear? Is the mainstream media and governments telling us the truth, or are they leaving us in the dark?
There is an age-old saying that if something doesn’t work, do it differently. But instead, we continue living in cities relying on institutions and governments for our water, food, electricity, and money. Should we start to question society, or can we improve it? Why are we killing billions of animals, going to war against each other, and destroying the only home we have? Why do humans love violence and destruction so much? Why can’t we finally live in harmony with all life? Why all this madness?
What about a hunter-gatherer society and self-sufficiency? Are these the answers? How about technology, the medical and pharmaceutical industries? How come we haven’t found a cure for cancer, heart disease or the common cold, or rather, have we? Why are countless people getting sick and dying in hospitals, and taking medications? Billions of people are malnourished, many without access to wholesome food and clean water. Why?
Why are there so many unanswered questions? Why is there so much confusion and contradictions? How can we get out of this whole mess we're in? Can humans really get back to living in The Garden of Eden? Is it possible?
Is there another way to live in a world that conserves the environment and respects other living beings? The Journey to Awakening connects to our natural wisdom and compassion for all life. We no longer rely on or blame others for our problems. Individually, we have the power to uplift and transform this world into Eden. When we have an open-heart and open-mind, meditate, and start to question society, doorways will open for the possibilities of freedom, joy, and happiness. Rather than looking to the external world, governments or religions for the answers, let’s go within and cultivate our intuition. Together, we can make a difference and change the course of history forever.
