Another book that will be published very soon through Google platform—Google Play Books, a 350-page eBook: Does God truly exist? Is there life after death? I embarked further on a spiritual quest, delving into scientific ghost research to find answers and to seek the genuine meaning of spirit, the spirit world, and the afterlife. This journey follows the publication of my book, Sacred Consciousness of the Spirit World, five years ago. Thus, 20 years of my spiritual quest have affirmed the existence of an eternal home awaiting us, a promised sanctuary of everlasting rest, true inner peace, complete knowledge, and boundless love. It is, in essence, the singularity of soul consciousness.

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler | Survival Meets Spirituality Book Review Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower thrusts readers into a harrowing near-future where society has crumbled under the weight of climate change, economic collapse, and rampant violence. This groundbreaking novel follows Lauren Olamina, a young woman with hyperempathy, as she navigates a world in crisis and develops a new belief system that could change humanity's future. Butler's stark prose paints a disturbingly plausible future, drawing parallels to contemporary issues that make the narrative feel eerily prophetic. As Lauren's journey unfolds, readers are challenged to confront difficult questions about survival, community, and the role of belief in shaping human destiny. What sets Parable of the Sower apart is its unique blend of dystopian fiction and spiritual exploration. Butler crafts a tale that is as much about physical survival as it is about the human need for purpose and meaning in the face of chaos. This novel will captivate fans of dystopian fiction, social science fiction, and readers who appreciate thought-provoking explorations of philosophy and religion. If you're ready for a powerful, often unsettling read that offers both a warning and a glimmer of hope for humanity's future, Parable of the Sower is an essential addition to your reading list.
