Download or read book The M A I A Journey written by Tamara and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternating back and forth between spirit and matter, between subject and object, between the many levels of vibration, this book is a fragment of my own never ending quest and of my experience, alive and therefore limited and subject to change. It is an attempt to share what I have discovered so far, using the "weapons" of a seeker tired of dogmas, opinions and impressions, amongst "truths" hidden in old sayings or fragments of ancient texts, by personal revelations based on understanding, comparison and logic and by applying the Universal Laws to the nature of things. The desire for knowledge is not a light burden; it is not easy to want to know and hold on to your goal while going through times when the constant occultation of the answers generates a dose of frustration that goes beyond human endurance. Moreover, it is not easy to share your findings with the world without being considered at least a lunatic, particularly when those findings tend to break well rooted patterns and tear away the ego. The Maia Journey even though so amazing in its uniqueness for each individual has a pattern which I have tried to outline in this book. To those on a personal quest it will be a useful tool, to others just another reading. To me, it is Manifesting Awareness Inside the All. Tamara

Book excerpt: 2020 ALA Alex Award Winner 2020 Stonewall — Israel Fishman Non-fiction Award Honor Book In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write.
