Publisher's Summary

"You do not have to be a deeply spiritual person to understand what the human element is, or how it applies to you, or what you are supposed to do with this book once you read it."

This is the story of becoming, the process of actualization that we all go through, especially when we are most unaware that it's happening. Written with striking familiarity and uncanny understanding, this audiobook will open your heart and touch your soul by putting into words the things that are both deeply rooted and hidden in us that we miss them even when they are most transparent. The human element is the thing that binds us, the thing we have to overcome, how we have to stop standing in our own way and let everything unfold. It is a philosophical take on what it means to overcome humanness by acceptance, initially realized through the experiences of sleep paralysis and other awakenings.

A source of peace and inspiration

I love Brianna Wiest.

I’m convinced she’s meant to be here to guide us. I take her work in during my toughest times. There’s an alchemical purpose to it. I also adore her prose—so seemingly simple, but nuanced. She can pack a punch of meaning. She’s a poet, after all.

I also enjoyed this piece because it was narrated by the author. Always a pleasure to connect with the source.
