The body is a miracle of establishment and intelligence in which life is continually renewed and energy continually refilled so that the total organism may carry on to live. Sleeping involves share of this renewal, and is a procedure through which the higher vibrations of light are permitted more outstanding access to the physical body because the aroused and mental constituents of personality that are ofttimes limiting elements in the awake state are no longer present while one sleeps. Although dreaming formulates mental and aroused content and hence produces aroused states, the content of these is portion of the sleep state itself and not a barrier to the energies that would restore, heal, and rejuvenate.

The quality of sleeping has a outstanding deal to do with the amount of restoration that may take place. Deep sleep develops not only dissimilar brainwave patterns, but likewise permits a more outstanding influx of light energy into the cells and tissues so that toxins may be got rid of and more outstanding energy may be infused on a cellular level. This does not take place in any kind of conscious way. It happens because of the nature of the humane body which has never veritably been disunited from the higher realms of light, in spite of one’s waking experience. At night, this body rejoins it is higher counterparts that are the non-physical energy bodies, and a more seamless union of dissimilar distinct elements of one’s being takes place than may normally take place for the duration of daytime functioning.

The infusion of light is not the only thing that may occur for the duration of sleep, however. It is also possible for a soul to determine to carry on their experiences with other realms while they sleep or to receive teachings from Beings with whom they have had an ongoing soul relationship. Such nighttime experiences are not strange even if not recalled, and a heap of persons gain for the duration of the daytime from learning acquired at night which is unknown to them, but which occurs to their conscious mind as clear or deep perception or inspiration later on. Much of this clear or deep perception has taken place for the duration of the sleep state, when access to one’s own higher intelligence as well as to the aid and teachings of others, may infuse the mind and the understanding and be kept there till such time as the conscious mind may retrieve the info or inspiration.

For those who have sleeping difficulties, there is very many times a preceding difficultness that has occurred in relation to connecting with the spiritual realms. Often, something has occurred for the duration of former lifetimes which has developed a dandier separation amid one’s embodied self and the higher self and higher energy bodies that subsist on other planes. Because of this preceding separation, for the duration of the night when one wants to be asleep, it is ofttimes difficult to do so because the seamless transmission of energy from one level of being to another cannot with no problems or difficulties take place. Where this is the case, there may be longstanding troubles with sleep and much wonderment in regards to what the cause might be. Often, the cause is not physical but spiritual and energetic, that is, it is related to the sensed separation of physical life from spiritual life and the manifestation of that sense of separation through sleeplessness.

Much healing is possible at night, including healing of sleep disturbances as well. If there is a possibleness for one in need of healing to relax, and rather of attempting to sleep, rather to try to enter an intermediate ‘twilight’ zone of being partly asleep and partly awake, it is possible to rest in this state and to gain much of the nourishment from the upper realms that one would ordinarily gain for the duration of deeper sleep. Healing of other kinds is also possible, for the kinship with the spiritual realms proceeds whether one grasps it to be so or not, indeed, whether one seeks it or not, and helpers of all kinds are available when called upon to support address problems, both aroused and physical, that may be troubling for the duration of the day.

The capacity to enter a deeper state of sleep is one that needs to be cherished as portion of the extraordinary complexity and beauty of the way the humane body has been fashioned, for there is a self-maintaining function built into the body itself which renews itself, heals itself, and restores a sufficient amount of energy after it has been depleted so that the body may stay in a viable state for experiencing life within the physical realm for a good deal of years. As more light becomes present on world and infuses the cellular structure of people’s bodies, this capacity for renewal and sustenance will become much more available, and a heap of of the ailments that are presently produced by insufficient energy or insufficient life-force will vanish in the presence of more outstanding light.

Review”Dr. Dawn Huebner has devised a exclusively accessible, easy-to-understand book to show worrying children a new way of life. Kids will breathe a sigh of relief to learn solutions that genuinely work.” — Tamar Chansky, PhD, Author of Freeing Your Child from Anxiety

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.Introduction to Parents and Caregivers –

If you are the parent or caregiver of an anxious child, you recognise what it feels like to be kept hostage. So does your child. Children who worry too much are kept captive by their fears. They go to great lengths to keep out of the way of frightening situations, and ask the same anxiety-based questions over and over again. Yet the answers give them nearly no relief. Parents and caregivers find themselves spending huge amounts of time reassuring, coaxing, accommodating, and doing whatsoever else they may think of to denigrate their child’s distress.

But it doesn’t work. The anxiety remains in control. As you have undoubtedly discovered, plainly telling an anxious child to stop worrying doesnÂ’t help at all. Nor does applying adult logic, or permitting your child to keep out of the way of dire situations, or providing reassurance each time the fears are expressed.

Anxiety has a way of growing, spreading, shifting in form, and in general resisting attempts to talk it out of existence. But there is hope. What to Do When You Worry Too Much will instruct you and your child a new and more successful way to think in regards to and manage anxiety. The proficiencies described in this book will aid your child take control.

Kids may relate to the ideas in the book.
By Andrea L. Polk
When your child’s anxiety overtakes and consumes their joy, you’d buy 200 books if they’d aid your child to feel better. Don’t buy 200 books… BUY THIS ONE for your child.

My daughter is 9, but reads at 8th grade level, so I was a bit apprehensive when it comes to getting this book for her; fearing she’d think it was too baby-ish. Much to my surprise and delight, she loves the book! She says “I love the pictures. It’s kind of amusive and I like that it has activenesses to do. The book has good ideas regarding how to fix my worries.”

The book does have outstanding kid-friendly conceptions like: Worry Time and Worry Bully, with places to draw and write down thoughts. It not only addresses how worries may take over, but empowers kids to fight back and reassures them that when they do, the worries will get littler and smaller, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…LOSE THEIR POWER OVER YOUR CHILD.

The book talks when it comes to the positives of getting rid of worries, like giving kids more time to play with their friends rather of worrying. Simple conceptions perhaps, but written in a way that kids relate. The conceptions are ones that both kids and parents may effortlessly do not forget and refer to, which also helps when the Worry Bully shows up unexpectedly.

Other books that have helped my daughter:
Worried No More Worried No More – Second Edition: Help and Hope for Anxious Children by Aureen Wagner, PHD (this is an splendid resource for Cognitive-Behavioral therapy support; workbook pages in the back…) and the meditations books for children by Maureen Garth: StarbrightStarbright–Meditations for Children, Moonbeam Moonbeam: A Book of Meditations for Children, and Earthlight Earthlight (read together before bedtime to aid your child visualize a safe, quiet place before they fall asleep…).

I found this one disappointing
By Hannah
The idea is a good one — to explain anxiety at a level that most kids may perceive and give them a good deal of steps to take to help them win a victory over their worries. Unfortunately, at one point in the book, the author makes the point that worries pick on weak people. What? If you buy this book, you’re attempting to aid your child cope with worry, not scold them for being too weak to conquer it.

How awake are you in your dream state? What are your dreams and aspiration? Can you stay awake long sufficient to find out. Most of us go with regards to our lives unmindful to precisely what our intention is and why we are here on this earth.

When we die, people will say so a good deal of wondrous things when it comes to us because they are unfeigned or just to please our grieving families. The accolades that accompany the threshold of life is being staged as a home-going gift to an individual who is not competent to listen them and if they could listen would in all likelihood wish they had done more with their lives. Will that be you?

When you go to bed at nights, you take along with you all the thoughts that you had for that day and all the sensations that go along with them. These occasionally come in form of dreams that may become rather overpowering if your thoughts had been sporadic that day. You may detect that you may jump from one dream to the next in a matter of minutes or even seconds. During your dream state, you have sensations and emotions that are similar in your awakened state even altho the dreams are only illusions. When you at long last awake, you have to think cautiously if the dream had been real or not.

The same thing applies to thoughts. They invoke sensations in you and are most prominent in your awakened state. It is these sensations that construct your world. Therefore, since your thoughts go to bed with you, how may you find a way to let your awakened state take over?

Well, the solution is to make sure you have control over your thoughts and you may surely have control. This is where your power lies. All negative thoughts may be substituted with positive thoughts while you are in your awakened state. During the day, your thoughts dictate the physical actions that you will take. At night, those same thoughts if not resolved or put away, take over your sleep state and manufacture more of what you don’t want. They take you places that you wish you did not have to go.

Have you ever been in a dream state where you are running from an individual and you are fearful for your life? I bet everyone has had those dreams. In your awakened state, you have interpreted that your life is in danger or you may have thought that you don’t want your life to be in peril and this is manifested in your dream state. This may not inevitably be physical danger, but possible a decision that is very difficult to make where you have to come out of your ease zone. If you have not come to a solution (or interpretation) for the duration of your awakened state of what you want to do, then it will appear again very forcibly in your dream state as something you are attempting to evade or run away from.

Your thoughts need to be very decisive, positive, and creatively focused. You ought to think on purpose on the things that you want to manifest in your awakened state. This is the place of manifestation where dreams and visions happen; not as illusions, but as physical experiences that fetch pleasure and joy.

It is odd to be so excessively affected emotionally regarding an eye mask, but…
By S. Andersen
This is an idealisti eye mask, it is big in surface area, so it will have no difficultness covering your eyes, it is soft, and padded, with a wide, adjustable, comfortable headband to keep it in place. There is a faint smell of peppermint that emanates from the mask, which is great for a headache, but may be a turn off for you if you dislike mint. I am not sure that this scent is intended by the manufacturer, but for me it is a nice bonus. I purchased two as gifts, and was so impressed I am back to buy two more for my wife and I. The price is rather low, but the quality is not.

Outstanding eye sleep mask
By Vladimir Talskiy
For sensible persons like myself this mask is a lifesaver. First of all it causes no allergic response. The velcro strip is very lightweight, narrow and soft. I use this mask for night sleep and capable to achieve deeper 8 hr sleep. Sometimes I go to bed late in the night (3-5 am), but still sleep full length wich was out of the question before. Good luck for those who will get it!

Sleep Mask
By Shannon M. Breshears
Since I purchased this mask my sleep life has changed dramatically. I used to wake up at any bit of light shining through the bedroom window. This was a problem for the duration of windy nights because our neighbors motion sensor spotlight would shine on our window each five minutes allround the night. Now,if I wake up in the middle of the night I place the mask over my eyes and sleep soundly. When my husband gets up before me in the morning I put the mask on after he rises and fall back asleep within minutes. I wish I would have purchased a sleep mask years ago.

I. Exposition

In the movie “Shattered” (1991), Dan Merrick survives an accident and develops total amnesia with regards to his past. His battered face is reconstructed by plastic surgeons and, with the help of his loving wife, he gradually recovers his will to live. But he never formulates a proper sense of identity. It is as though he is constantly ill at ease in his own body. As the plot unravels, Dan is led to believe that he may have murdered his wife’s lover, Jack. This adventure story offers further and added twists and turns but, allround it all, we face this question:

Dan has no recollection of being Dan. Dan does not do not forget murdering Jack. It seems as altho Dan’s very identity has been erased. Yet, Dan is in sound mind and may tell right from wrong. Should Dan be kept (morally and, as a result, perhaps legally as well) accountable for Jack’s murder?

Would the answer to this question still be the same had Dan erased from his memory ONLY the crime -but recalled everything else (in an act of selective dissociation)? Do our moral and legal accountability and obligation spring from the integrity of our memories? If Dan were to be punished for a crime he doesn’t have the faintest recollection of committing – wouldn’t he feel horribly wronged? Wouldn’t he be justified in sentiment so?

There are a lot of states of consciousness that implicate dissociation and selective amnesia: hypnosis, trance and possession, hallucination, illusion, memory disorders (like organic, or functional amnesia), depersonalization disorder, dissociative fugue, dreaming, psychosis, post traumatic stress disorder, and drug-induced psychotomimetic states.

Consider this, for instance:

What if Dan were the victim of a Multiple Personality Disorder (now known as “Dissociative Identity Disorder”)? What if one of his “alters” (i.e., one of the multitude of “identities” sharing Dan’s mind and body) devoted the crime? Should Dan still be held responsible? What if the change “John” devoted the crime and then “vanished”, leaving behind another change (let us say, “Joseph”) in control? Should “Joseph” be held responsible for the crime “John” committed? What if “John” were to reappear 10 years after he “vanished”? What if he were to reappear 50 years after he “vanished”? What if he were to reappear for a amount of time of 90 days – only to “vanish” again? And what is Dan’s role in all this? Who, exactly, then, is Dan?

II. Who is Dan?

Buddhism compares Man to a river. Both retain their identity in spite of the fact that their person composition is dissimilar at dissimilar moments. The possession of a body as the foundation of a self-identity is a dubious proposition. Bodies modify drasti in time (consider a baby equated to an adult). Almost all the cells in a humane body are substituted each few years. Changing one’s brain (by transplantation) – also changes one’s identity, even if the rest of the body remains the same.

Thus, the only thing that binds a “person” together (i.e., gives him a self and an identity) is time, or, more precisely, memory. By “memory” I also mean: personality, skills, habits, retrospected emotions – in short: all long term imprints and behavioural patterns. The body is not an accidental and not significant container, of course. It constitutes an crucial portion of one’s self-image, self-esteem, sense of self-worth, and sense of existence (spatial, temporal, and social). But one may effortlessly imagine a brain in vitro as having the same identity as when it resided in a body. One cannot imagine a body without a brain (or with a dissimilar brain) as having the same identity it had before the brain was got rid of or replaced.

What if the brain in vitro (in the above example) could not commune with us at all? Would we still think it is possessed of a self? The biological functions of persons in coma are maintained. But do they have an identity, a self? If yes, why do we “pull the plug” on them so often?

It would seem (as it did to Locke) that we receive that an individual has a self-identity if: (a) He has the same hardware as we do (notably, a brain) and (b) He communicates his humanly recognizable and comprehensive inner world to us and manipulates his environment. We receive that he has a given (i.e., the same continuous) self-identity if (c) He shows consistent intentional (i.e., willed) patterns (“memory”) in doing (b) for a long amount of time of time.

It seems that we receive that we have a self-identity (i.e., we are self-conscious) if (a) We tell apart (usually through introspection) long term consistent intentional (i.e., willed) patterns (“memory”) in our manipulation (“relating to”) of our surroundings and (b) Others receive that we have a self-identity (Herbert Mead, Feuerbach).

Dan (probably) has the same hardware as we do (a brain). He communicates his (humanly recognizable and comprehensible) inner world to us (which is how he manipulates us and his environment). Thus, Dan without doubt or question has a self-identity. But he is inconsistent. His intentional (willed) patterns, his memory, are incompatible with those demonstrated by Dan before the accident. Though he without doubt or question is possessed of a self-identity, we can not say that he has the SAME self-identity he possessed before the crash. In other words, we cannot say that he, indeed, is Dan.

Dan himself does not feel that he has a self-identity at all. He discerns intentional (willed) patterns in his manipulation of his environs but, due to his amnesia, he can not tell if these are consistent, or long term. In other words, Dan has no memory. Moreover, others do not receive him as Dan (or have their doubts) because they have no memory of Dan as he is now.

Interim conclusion:

Having a memory is a necessary and sufficient condition for possessing a self-identity.

III. Repression

Yet, resorting to memory to define identity may appear to be a circular (even tautological) argument. When we postulate memory – don’t we already presuppose the existence of a “remembering agent” with an traditionalisti self-identity?

Moreover, we keep talking regarding “discerning”, “intentional”, or “willed” patterns. But isn’t a big portion of our self (in the form of the unconscious, full of repressed memories) unavailable to us? Don’t we give rise to defence mechanisms versus repressed memories and fantasies, versus unconscious content incongruent with our self-image? Even worse, this hidden, inaccessible, dynamically active portion of our self is thought responsible for our recurrent discernible patterns of behaviour. The phenomenon of posthypnotic suggestion seems to indicate that this may be the case. The existence of a self-identity is, therefore, determined through introspection (by oneself) and observation (by others) of merely the conscious portion of the self.

But the unconscious is as much a part of one’s self-identity as one’s conscious. What if, due to a mishap, the roles were reversed? What if Dan’s conscious share were to become his unconscious and his unconscious percentage – his conscious? What if all his conscious memories, drives, fears, wishes, fantasies, and hopes – were to become unconscious while his repressed memories, drives, etc. – were to become conscious? Would we still say that it is “the same” Dan and that he retains his self-identity? Not very likely. And yet, one’s (unremembered) unconscious – for instance, the conflict amidst id and ego – determines one’s personality and self-identity.

The main contribution of psychoanalysis and later psychodynamic schools is the understanding that self-identity is a dynamic, evolving, ever-changing construct – and not a static, inertial, and passive entity. It casts doubt over the meaningfulness of the question with which we ended the exposition: “Who, exactly, then, is Dan?” Dan is dissimilar at dissimilar stages of his life (Erikson) and he perpetually evolves in accordance with his innate nature (Jung), past history (Adler), drives (Freud), cultural milieu (Horney), upbringing (Klein, Winnicott), needs (Murray), or the interplay with his genetic makeup. Dan is not a thing – he is a process. Even Dan’s personality traits and cognitive style, which may well be stable, are ofttimes influenced by Dan’s social setting and by his social interactions.

It would seem that having a memory is a necessary but insufficient condition for possessing a self-identity. One cannot do not forget one’s unconscious states (though one may do not forget their outcomes). One often times forgets events, names, and other data even if it was conscious at a given time in one’s past. Yet, one’s (unremembered) unconscious is an integral and indispensable share of one’s identity and one’s self. The remembered as well as the unremembered constitute one’s self-identity.

IV. The Memory Link

Hume said that to be considered in possession of a mind, a creature needs to have a few states of consciousness linked by memory in a kind of narrative or personal mythology. Can this conjecture be evenly applied to unconscious mental states (e.g. subliminal perceptions, beliefs, drives, emotions, desires, etc.)?

In other words, may we rephrase Hume and say that to be considered in possession of a mind, a creature needs to have a few states of cognizance and a few states of the unconscious – all linked by memory into a personal narrative? Isn’t it a contradiction in terms to do not forget the unconscious?

The unconscious and the subliminal are instance of the usual category of mental phenomena which are not states of knowingness (i.e., are not conscious). Sleep and hypnosis are two others. But so are “background mental phenomena” – e.g., one holds onto one’s beliefs and cognition even when one is not conscious (conscious) of them at each given moment. We recognise that an apple will fall towards the earth, we know how to drive a car (“automatically”), and we believe that the sun will rise tomorrow, even though we do not spend each second of our waking life consciously thinking in regards to falling apples, driving cars, or the position of the sun.

Yet, the fact that noesis and beliefs and other background mental phenomena are not perpetually conscious – does not mean that they can not be remembered. They may be remembered either by an act of will, or in (sometimes an involuntary) response to changes in the environment. The same applies to all other unconscious content. Unconscious content may be recalled. Psychoanalysis, for instance, is regarding re-introducing repressed unconscious content to the patient’s conscious memory and therefore making it “remembered”.

In fact, one’s self-identity may be such a background mental phenomenon (always there, not always conscious, not always remembered). The acts of will which fetch it to the surface are what we call “memory” and “introspection”.

This would seem to infer that having a self-identity is independent of having a memory (or the capacity to introspect). Memory is just the mechanism by which one becomes conscious of one’s background, “always-on”, and omnipresent (all-pervasive) self-identity. Self-identity is the object and predicate of memory and introspection. It is as altho self-identity were an emergent broad parameter of the complex humane scheme – measurable by the dual proficiencies of memory and introspection.

We, therefore, have to modify our former conclusions:

Having a memory is not a necessary nor a sufficient condition for possessing a self-identity.

We are back to square one. The poor souls in Oliver Sacks’ tome, “The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat” are unable to develop and retain memories. They occupy an eternal present, with no past. They are therefore unable to access (or invoke) their self-identity by remembering it. Their self-identity is unavailable to them (though it is available to those who detect them over a good deal of years) – but it exists for sure. Therapy many times succeeds in restoring pre-amnesiac memories and self-identity.

V. The Incorrigible Self

Self-identity is not only always-on and all-pervasive – but likewise incorrigible. In other words, no one – neither an observer, nor the person himself – may “disprove” the existence of his self-identity. No one may prove that a report regarding the existence of his (or another’s) self-identity is mistaken.

Is it evenly safe to say that no one – neither an observer, nor the person himself – may prove (or disprove) the non-existence of his self-identity? Would it be rectify to say that no one may prove that a report when it comes to the non-existence of his (or another’s) self-identity is unfeigned or false?

Dan’s criminal obligation crucially depends on the answers to these questions. Dan can not be held responsible for Jack’s murder if he may prove that he is ignorant of the facts of his action (i.e., if he may prove the non-existence of his self-identity). If he has no access to his (former) self-identity – he may scarcely be expected to be conscious and cognizant of these facts.

What is in question is not Dan’s mens rea, nor the application of the McNaghten tests (did Dan recognise the nature and quality of his act or could he tell right from wrong) to determine whether Dan was insane when he consecrated the crime. A much broader issue is at stake: is it the same person? Is the murderous Dan the same person as the current Dan? Even altho Dan seems to own the same body and brain and is manifestly sane – he patently has no access to his (former) self-identity. He has changed so drasti that it is arguable whether he is still the same person – he has been “replaced”.

Finally, we may undertake to unite all the strands of our discourse into this double definition:

It would seem that we receive that someone has a self-identity if: (a) He has the same hardware as we do (notably, a brain) and, by implication, the same software as we do (an all-pervasive, omnipresent self-identity) and (b) He communicates his humanly recognizable and comprehensive inner world to us and manipulates his environment. We receive that he has a specific (i.e., the same continuous) self-identity if (c) He shows consistent intentional (i.e., willed) patterns (“memory”) in doing (b) for a long amount of time of time.

It seems that we receive that we have a specific self-identity (i.e., we are self-conscious of a specific identity) if (a) We discern (usually through memory and introspection) long term consistent intentional (i.e., willed) patterns (“memory”) in our manipulation (“relating to”) of our environs and (b) Others receive that we have a specific self-identity.

In conclusion: Dan undoubtedly has a self-identity (being humane and, thus, endowed with a brain). Equally undoubtedly, this self-identity is not Dan’s (but a new, unfamiliar, one).

Such is the stuff of our nightmares – body snatching, demonic possession, waking up in a strange place, not knowing who we are. Without a continuous personal history – we are not. It is what binds our respective bodies, states of mind, memories, skills, emotions, and cognitions – into a consistent bundle of identity. Dan speaks, drinks, dances, talks, and makes love – but allround that time, he is not present because he does not do not forget Dan and how it is to be Dan. He may have murdered Jake – but, by all philosophical and ethical criteria, it was most unquestionably not his fault.

From BooklistIn this comic fantasy debut, 12-year-old Becker Drane is recruited as a Fixer in the Seems, a mirror world that constructs and maintains our own world. Becker’s firstborn mission is to find and repair the Glitch in Sleep and become the hero of the Seems. Wyman effortlessly switches from voicing a seemingly normal American teen to a potpourri of otherworldly characters. All characters are delineated creatively, even robots and dream bubbles. Wyman’s easygoing deliverance makes descriptions of Seems’ philosophy, gadgets, and missions seem realistic. He brings humor, excitement, and an occasional satirical twist to scenes involving the fascinating substitute universe. Becker comes throughout as a sympathetic and resonant hero in this primary title in an imaginative fantasy series. Grades 5-8. –Lolly Gepson

About the Author

John Hulme and Michael Wexler without intention stumbled upon the existence of The Seems after opening an unlocked Door in Wilmington, North Carolina, for the duration of the summer of 1995. From that moment on, they were obsessed with the curious realm and sought to pen a book series based on their discovery. Though the project was held up in administrative Red Tape for closely eleven years, the Powers That Be at long last signed off on it is release, resulting in the text you now hold.

            Hulme lives with his wife, Jennifer, and son, Jack, in a little New Jersey town with crookety sidewalks and tree-lined streets.

            Wexler’s whereabouts stay unknown.

A whole new world, and it resides behind the world
By T. Pryde
First, a caveat emptor: I know the writers and count them as friends. That said, if I hadn’t in truth enjoyed The Seems I plainly wouldn’t have written anything here at all. Luckily this was not the case. This a book with a grand and cinematic flare. Meet Becker Drane, he’s a very cool kid who just happens to have the coolest occupation in the world that entails him using James Bond by way of Willy Wonka appliances and the sage words of those that have trained him for the tasks at hand. Highly unpredictable, and full of skewed humor that made me laugh right out piercing various times, the book is a outstanding stepping off point with a great deal of promise for what’s to come in the series. Take a prospect on this one…

Fascinate your Grandchildren
By Tony G.
THE SEEMS

As a grandparent thinking of books to fascinate the hearts and minds of grandchildren, “The Seems” is high on my list. Like Winnie-the-Pooh sixty or so years ago (I hate to confess it), this book has the capacity to feed the imagination of an entire generation of young people. And like Winnie the Pooh, behind the wondrously child’s tale lies an adult perspective that is full of tender humor, irony, and an likeable system of belief of life.
Becker Drane is a twelve year old boy from Highland Park, New Jersey who, having employed for the “Best Job in the World,” finds himself a “Fixer” in the “Seems,” the invisible world behind our own that keeps things here on world running according to the “Plan.” When a Glitch occurs in the Department of Sleep, and no one on world is getting the shut-eye they need, Becker gets the call to “Fix” the situation. In the highly capable company of senior Fixer Cassiopia Lake, an engaging and gutsy twenty-some year old girl, he sets out to save the world. The adventure is fast paced and taut sufficient to keep young readers on the edge of their chairs. Adults will love the sophisticated humor, word play, and above all the deeper humane values which, for a reader like me, are the book’s firmest retail point.
