Living the Waking Dream

About the Book

TRILOGY BOOK THREE includes three books from my thirty-some published and yet-to-be published works. As a writer and philosopher, I am blessed to be writing books as a full-time occupation, knowing that others who would love to do it, don’t have the luxury. In my journeys, I don’t know if I am getting “warmer” or “colder” towards understanding much of anything. For me, lots of the fun of it is in continuing to discover that which we did not know just yesterday. Living the Waking Dream is the title of the book, and it comes to you along with two others, The Inquisition and Bricks in the Wall. All three were written with you (the reader and fellow life-mate) especially in mind. If you struggle sometimes, wondering what is real and what is in the dream-world, then maybe you will like the basic premises behind Living the Waking Dream (Book One). It’s a highly personal book, written in memoir style. If you have religious and spiritual questions, and struggle with some of the answers, you might find The Inquisition (Book Two) to be of benefit. It is about a man on trial for his life, defending his spiritual point of view against the religious world-view. Many of us have trouble when it comes to conforming to society – to their countless laws and cumbersome rules. Bricks in the Wall addresses three distinct phases of life that millions of us go through. It provides insight into how those processes takes place and can be a real eye-opener for you! I am in high hopes that this three-books-in-one volume will be good reading. On my web site, HowISeeTheWorld.com, I contemplate questions and answers that continue to trouble humans for all these years. Please come and see me at the site!

About the Author

Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut has been writing and publishing for some three decades now but trying to figure out the meaning to life’s deepest questions for even far longer than that. With several years’ background and experience in education, business and real-life circumstances thus-far confronted, the questions, in his mind, still outweigh the answers.

            Michael has spent many years piecing together a worldview that he considers to be livable, effective and reasonable. Failing to find this from the religious and cultural communities, or from many other more traditional means, he set out on a private, eclectic path of personal enlightenment. He now understands that “the path…the journey…” is individual and unique for each of us.

            A working philosophy of everyday life is important for all. Michael knows that, and has been active to date in writing over thirty books in an effort to create a pattern of anthological thought that will provide his readers with all of what they need to encounter life in a successful and meaningful way.

            Michael travels back and forth to work and home, spending two months in the United States, and then leaving for two months to his Costa Rican offices, all year long. He actively labors for his not-for-profit, 501(c)3 corporation (The Center for Health and Human Services) out of offices near the rain forests of Costa Rica, Central America, helping many through various programs who are in need of such help.

With a continuous passion for this written work, his quest to leave behind a comprehensive legacy of philosophy and life, in book summary form, is, by his own admission, an endless one.
