It's Time to Wake Up

I wrote the article about Frank Herbert's Dune as a response to a challenge to the Squidoo Book Club. After that site closed down, I took on the massive task of moving it to the Crossroads. The book has had a profound affect on the way I view the world. The words “the sleeper must awaken” mean ever more to me after many years of spiritual seeking.

It is a lengthy article, and I realize that many won't stick around to read the whole thing. That is okay. I know a few will be attracted to the message and find some nuggets of inspiration from it. If you are one of those few, thank you for sticking with it.

Writing is a lonely profession so I love when readers leave comments. For some odd reason, this platform does not provide a comment box for pages like that. I started this blog so that visitors would have a venue to express their ideas or just say hi.

Please feel free to tell me what you think. Are you a fan of Dune? Do you like the movie or book better? What do you think about the concept of spiritual awakening? All opinions are valued, please be polite and considerate.

Thanks for this wonderful article! It's great to find people tuned into such pathways.
I grew up watching the Dune movie. I could say I have been on a 'spiritual quest' more and more consciously through-out my life.

It was Buddhism that really began to open up my awareness, but I have been rotating through a whole spectrum of related knowledge and systems. I've become interested in connecting my unconscious to my conscious mind, receiving messages from myself when half asleep and writing them down. Last night 'the sleeper must awaken' came back to me. I had listened to Eckhart Tolle in the morning. This fed a whole night of interesting connections and visualisations! I was sure that I would be able to read about these connections and found your post. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt comment. You have inspired me to keep going. When I started this website I decided not to worry about whether I got a lot of traffic or not. I felt that those people that needed to read what I write would be drawn to it. And you have just proven that to be true.

The Sleeper Must Awaken has been part of my consciousness for a long time. I am happy to meet a kindred spirit.

    I am a storyteller. I like to wrap inspirational messages inside little vignettes of my life or the lives of others. I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and am now living full time in an RV. Everything I've experienced in my 65 years in this incarnation is fair game to be written about.
