How to Stay Awake in a Deluded World:

A guide to spiritual clarity in times of confusion

It starts with a simple but uncomfortable realization: most of what we feel isn’t random. It’s the result of patterns we’ve absorbed our entire lives - expectations, beliefs, and ideas about what life is supposed to look like. And at some point, those patterns stop fitting. How to Stay Awake in a Deluded World explores that moment - when things that once felt normal start to feel heavy, confusing, or out of place. Not because something is wrong with you, but because something in you is changing. Instead of offering systems, steps, or spiritual shortcuts, this book stays close to real experience. It looks at the noise, the pressure, the constant need to keep up - and what happens when you pause long enough to actually notice it. It’s not about escaping the world. It’s about seeing it more clearly. And maybe, for the first time, seeing yourself without all the layers you were taught to carry.

Astara is Born: Under the Hollywood Sign…the Quantum Novel

 

Astara is Born:

Under the Hollywood Sign…the Quantum Novel

Quantum narrative of the 80s indie film/New Age zeitgeist. This is the second volume in the Kundalini Awakening trilogy following “Champagne Tango” (1992) and preceding “Wolf in the Bottle”. There will be a promotion on NetGalley in April. A reluctant Icon tries out her new name Astara Dawn on an irresistible English actor while stuck in a holding pattern on a flight into Los Angeles. Awaiting her on the ground is a Hollywood studio sublet filled with mystical books and a freelance job as a script reader. As she settles into her new home and starts to explore the city, Astara stumbles into the zeitgeist of 1980s New Age Movement and the birth of a dynamic new Hollywood era of the indie film.

Astara’s freelance lifestyle is guided by a universal vision—to become the writer, director, producer, and star of her own movie. However, she learns that outer success in achieving this goal is predicated by the inner process of awakening; as Astara begins to see herself as the heroine of her original Hollywood story, she is rewarded with an evolving consciousness guiding her into a quantum reality: consciousness becoming aware of itself. This is where the new quantum era of the transformative novel comes in play. The quest for freedom busts through all existing categories…forcing the protagonist to invent a new literature chronicling an ever-evolving consciousness. As she pushes through obstacles with the help of a healer, she begins to understand the affliction propelling her to the edge of psychosis was actually a kundalini awakening. The awareness of the Self gains a new holistic perspective on the dynamic between inner and outer informed by a steady trail of synchronicities providing a linear structure to her creation of her new identity summed up in the title of her script, “Astara is Born.” Surmounting the obstacles on the path of Self-mastery has a requirement: newly defining the contemporary literary heroine as Bringer of the Dawn, filtering the new value of an evolving consciousness sourced in the twenty-first century icon of the hieros gamos (sacred marriage). Kundalini Awakening trilogy of meta-novels pioneer a quantum style of storytelling in which a female protagonist becomes aware of her evolving consciousness, a higher form of intelligence scientists now refer to as metacognition.

The Fables of Maui and Momma Cat

 

 

The Fables of Maui and Momma Cat

By Dr. Walter R. Hoge

What if the smallest creatures in your backyard were quietly rewriting your understanding of love?

The Fables of Maui and Momma Cat begins with a simple scene: a feral kitten, a mourning dove, a nest hidden just out of sight. But what unfolds is not merely a chain of events—it’s a meditation on instinct, survival, and the strange mercy woven into everyday life.

At its heart is Momma Cat—untamed, watchful, fiercely independent. She lives on the edges of human kindness, slipping in and out of sight, raising her kittens in tin sheds and shadowed corners. Opposite her stands Maui, a beautifully trained yellow Labrador Retriever who enters the story during a season of personal grief. One is wild. One is disciplined. Somehow, they choose each other.

Set between a quiet suburban yard and the rooms of Camden Pet Hospital, the book moves through years of shared space—feeding rituals, cautious trust, unlikely companionship. A trap is set, not out of cruelty, but concern. A feral cat resists taming for years, then slowly—almost imperceptibly—leans into a human touch. A dog accustomed to crates and commands learns to share her deck with a creature who owes her nothing.

What makes this story linger is not drama, but devotion. Medical charts list failing kidneys and enlarged hearts. Age creeps in. Goodbyes come quietly. Yet even in decline, there is dignity—staff members who brush fragile fur, hands that offer lunch scraps, a final whisper before an injection meant not to harm, but to release.

This is a story about stewardship in its purest form: the responsibility to care without controlling, to love without demanding return. It’s about animals who remain themselves—never fully owned, never fully understood—yet somehow become family.

By the time you reach the image of two small urns, stacked one atop the other, you realize this was never just about a cat and a dog.

It’s about the quiet, holy work of showing up—again and again—for the lives that wander into ours.

ORIGIN OF MIND: The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

 

ORIGIN OF MIND:

The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

Fully illustrated throughout with challenging 3-D illusions and some of the most extreme examples of the “spooky action” of the brain from bizarre beliefs we still hold true, to ideas of sexual attraction, this book takes us through a new perspective on how words create our very perception of reality, from the point where consciousness and cognition of our mind kick in, to the study of how easily any stimulus, even pain, can be associated with any response, even pleasure. This accounts for the 700 named phobias and the 547 sexual paraphilias identified by Anil Aggrawal.  In a review of old and new evidence, we find explanations for the "spooky action" of the conscious mind and how the mind is deceived by the brain.
This sets the stage for a journey through your own mind. The first ideas embedded in our brain by others, like the language we speak, become the criteria by which we judge all things. All of this is learned through a process so subtle and so unconscious that it is taken for granted. We see this daily in our politics, our religions, our sports, and our personal relationships.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, scans the internet, picking up relevant facts, images, and ideas, and presents them in an organized form. The brain has its own version of AI that scans our memories, selects relevant information, and presents reality to our conscious mind as reality. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER I ORIGIN OF THE BRAIN. Learning does not just give the brain information to use in processing, as a computer; it changes the brain itself so completely that it creates a new reality in the brain. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER II PSYCHOLOGY’S THEORY OF RELATIVITY Learning, at its core, goes beyond merely associating two stimuli. It involves forming an impression in the brain of all the visual, auditory, and sensory experiences happening at the same time. Through repeated exposure to the same stimuli, these experiences can create a perception. By connecting multiple perceptions, one can develop a concept (or a learning set, or an algorithm, or a heuristic) into a concept. Perception Can Determine Experience
CHAPTER III Learning happens with no conscious awareness, and we have limited ability to change our brain’s perception.
CHAPTER IV Origin of the Individual We are not born knowing who we are. We are not born knowing who our mother is. We have no clue even what species we are. We have no language to speak. We are the center of our own unique world of experience. Everything relates to us. This gives us the perception of a separate and self-conscious mind.
CHAPTER V THE CONSCIOUS MIND The relatively high speed of the Beta waves of our brain, which scan across the cortex, linked to areas deep inside, combined with our focus of attention, is what makes consciousness possible. Our learned experiences allow the brain to anticipate whatever will come next.
CHAPTER VI THE ILLUSION OF THOUGHT, RELATIVITY: The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think.
CHAPTER VII INVISIBLE PERCEPTION Learning is so profoundly important that it changes the biology of your brain.
CHAPTER VIII PERMUTATIONS The Third Variable of Relativity
CHAPTER IX THE CONSCIOUS MIND AND THE PROGRAMMED MIND

Get It Done — NOW!:

How to Align Who You're Becoming with What You're Doing Every Day

Most productivity systems fail — not because you lack discipline, but because they weren't built for you.

Get It Done — NOW! is different. Instead of forcing you into someone else's framework, this book helps you build a personal operating system designed around how you're actually wired — your thinking style, your energy type, your instinctive action mode, and the patterns that have been running your life.

JB Glossinger, founder of MorningCoach® and host of one of the longest-running personal development podcasts in history, has spent nearly two decades helping professionals stop drifting and start operating with intention. This book distills everything he's learned into a practical system anyone can use.

Inside, you'll discover:

- Why willpower fails and what to build instead
- The Gap — the space between stimulus and response where real change happens
- The Four Operating Modes and how to spend less time in reactive mode
- The Spectrum of Thought — how your brain processes information and why it matters
- A 5-step morning ritual built on professional infrastructure, not motivational hype
- The Six Stages of Change and how to break the downward loop
- How to use the Enneagram, Kolbe A, and other frameworks to understand your wiring
- Mission, Vision, and Values — the three components of direction that eliminate drift
- The Strategic Hierarchy of Achievement — from mission to daily tasks
- The Sacred Six — why you should never have more than six active projects

This isn't a book about trying harder. It's a book about building smarter — a system so good you don't need discipline to follow it.

Whether you're a CEO managing a team, an entrepreneur building something from scratch, or a professional ready to stop operating on autopilot, Get It Done — NOW! gives you the framework to design a life that works with you, not against you.

The companion Belt System (available at MorningCoach.com) takes you deeper — with video training, professional workbooks, AI coaching companions, and a community of professionals doing the work alongside you.
