The Conscious Awakening: Gamma Volume
by Greg Kasperek
Authorhouse Books, 222 pages, $13.50.

Greg Kasperek is remarkable. A former dairy farmer, Kasperek studied with a psychic and came to understand his own gifts. Now residing in central Wisconsin, he's a renaissance SAGE who's found greater understanding of the universe. Kasperek has written a five book philosophical treatise, the latest volume of which, The Conscious Awakening: gamma volume has just been published.

Divided into fourteen chapters, plus prologue and epilogue, Kasperek covers far too much material to fit into a review. Among the philosophies explored are the nature of the higher powers, (no matter which beliefs with which the reader was raised), breaking apart our basic understandings and rebuilding them by placing them in a new perspective focused within the history of the universe. He sees the Source as an aspect of nature, made up of collective cells, with unique personalities. He also explores the concept of showing harmony through disharmony, something along the lines of yin and yang.

Following the spiritual path of the Milky Way, Kasperek intelligently explains how, when the universe was being formed, feminine energy's polarized particles were blown out of the center, while masculine energy's polarized particles remained there, confusing their spirit partners. It's really a solid explanation of the nature behind feminism vs. sexism. He further explores aspects of human nature, separating into the Beginners, the Manipulators, the Seekers, the Activators and the Graduates, each area taking a percentage of humanity.

Kasperek's writing is best read with a notepad and highlighter, because he raises so many thoughts, they can't all be comprehended with simple reading. For example, his explanations of the Chakra system, thoughtforms and lifeforms place them in a perspective no one else has quite given them before. His examination of sex and control tells us that sex is the most liked and disliked subject in our vocabulary. According to Kasperek, sex is blamed for our problems and it's the thing we fear most. The interactions of the aforementioned masculine-energies are leery of the feminine energies and vice versa, while it's often difficult to understand that "both energies can express from the same body simultaneously."

He tells us that, while sex's true task is to nurture intimacy, control is the magnetive opposite and creates distrust. In discussing homosexuality or bisexuality, he's found that older "souls" have less trouble with this because they want to "smooth out the inconsistencies between their energies." He also reminds us that ignorance is a powerful tool used against society by the Manipulators, and that if we're raised with respect for the self and have better parental preparation, we'll understand our control of our sexual behavior.

Topics such as Food, Ancient Religions, Ego and Boundaries, Spiritual Evolution and the Tools to Promote Growth are covered, and the book becomes a treasure trove of these philosophical ideas.

If there's a criticism, it's that Kasperek's sentence structure and use of syntax sometimes take flights of fancy, and require a bit more attention from the reader. Still, this is minor. The Conscious Awakening may be only one man's concept of how the world came to be, but he certainly has a fascinating viewpoint.
