What a lovely reading of such an important message!
Your lovely voice has helped me with my university philosophy course, so big thanks!
Thanks for reading slowly. Allows the listener time to process the words, which is something audiobooks don’t always succeed at like books.
Will you be reading any more of this book? It’s an excellent recording
Thank you! 🇺🇸
Grr the ads are setting me right off🫤 Please someone tell me this lady has read the whole book and where to find, DL or buy it please🙏 I havent got on at all with any other readers.. any idea anyone?
Hi there, I'm sorry you're finding the ads annoying. If I could remove them I would. I have permission from Pete Walker to record Chapter One of this book and no more, I cannot legally record another chapter. (If you get RUclips Premium, you can listen and download ad free.)
I can't deal with the moist mouth sounds. I tried, but ironically it's intensely triggering for me. It's so cringy it makes me angry at the narrator. I jave trouble understanding how it doesn't seem to bother others. Anyone else have this issue?
Could you please read the rest? Your voice is beautiful !
SO GOOD! Will you be doing more? 💝💝
Beautiful, thank you. Isthe rest of the book available? Thank you in advance.
Well done! Tired of stodgy old men reading great lit aloud. 🥰
thank you very much, great book and well read
Why have you stopped posting????😢
To all those who are causing suffering in this world, directly or indirectly: Heed your dreams at night, those nightmares that you most assuredly are having are imploring you to change -before it’s too late… The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The “Symbolic Analogy” consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” ( O ) abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎)with the overlapping area representing the dreamstate-like the common area in a Venn Diagram-and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife; and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ~8~
“As I stepped beyond the threshold, I entered another world-like Dorothy walking into Oz. A slight breeze swirled the leaves and branches and blossoms of the garden, brushing the skin on my arms. Soft air and clear light caressed my face. Just then, the music stopped. It took me a moment to realize that the music in my head was actually in my iPod and the iPod must have run out of power. I took out the ear buds and a far more fantastic music flooded in, leaves rustling, birds chirping, insects buzzing, the distant shoosh of tires on the road invisible behind the trees. I sat at the wrought-iron table and put my feet up. The crystalline light astonished me. The air, neither hot nor cold, was invigoratingly dry. I felt energy radiating from my body into the air, mingling with the radiations emanating from all the life surrounding me. I scanned the back yard. The ornamental grasses had begun to shoot out golden tufts; the crepe myrtle, hydrangea, stone crop, petunias and geraniums all had covered themselves in blossoms. Figs grew large and heavy on the fig tree, which exploded tropically in one corner of the yard, and fat red tomatoes swelled on the still leafing vines in another. Tendrils of Virginia creeper and wild grape dripped from the pines across the back fence, persimmons hung from the persimmon tree like Christmas ornaments. I had seen all this the previous morning, and many other mornings before that. But now I had stepped into a page from an illuminated fairy tale. Just as that thought entered my mind, three large yellow butterflies appeared, flitting in spirals around me. I laughed aloud: I was in Oz after all🌄… …I can’t think of any other way to put this but to say the sky opened, and grace poured down all around me. Light itself had transformed into a palpable substance, spilling down as if from a fountain. But it was more than light. It was blessings of every kind, goodness incarnate, flowing inexhaustible and immutable from above. I didn’t say to myself, “What is this?” I didn’t guess. I knew, I saw, I was in the presence of God. This wasn’t a God with whom I could have a conversation, at least not two-way. I think I said, or shouted, “Ok, I am DEFINITELY not an atheist,” but God was mute, or rather, I understood, or perceived, that the only response God would ever make was the boundless bounty of beauty cascading over me. After the shock and awe, my first thought was that this gift absurdly overmatched anything I could possibly have deserved. I thought, and said aloud, “Why me?” Instantly, that seemed too pleased with myself. I could just look at this phenomenon that confronted me, this Niagara Falls of beauty pouring down, and know that I hadn’t been “chosen.” I was no one special. This was just what God was, a permanent condition that somehow had remained invisible to me until this moment..” reset.me/story/tried-psychedelic-mushrooms-35-years-saw-light/🌈 🍂🌄🍄🌄🍂
Oh wow. So beautifully read. I’m going to have to take a moment to deal with that heavenly voice. Wonderful. Just entirely wonderful.
This is such a generous comment. Deeply appreciated, thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing this! Absolutely lovely 🙌
bless you for saying this ❤
hello, you have a beautiful voice! could i use an excerpt of it in an audio edit? i’ll give you credit of course. don’t feel pressured to say yes! thank you :)
of course! :-)
Who picked that voice? Robot again? She can put anyone to sleep
adorei sua voz, e vou ler meu livro preferido ouvindo seu audiobook
Her voice, to me, is kinda nostalgic. Drawing in like a fair tail of sorts kinda soothing. Some have warned it was unsettling to them
What a deluded rant!
Well read, lovely voice
I cannot listen to this whispery voice for 2 seco ds!!!!!!!
The throat swallowing noise is annoying.
Your voice and diction are amazing!
Thank you Cavidan, that means a lot 🙏
@@merelyhuman5295 are you going to do the entire book? plz say you are!! xoxo
George Orwell was a huge gift to the world. Sadly, Russia has gotten worse. The UK and USA have gotten far too complacent and better get their shit together. Any thinking person is OUTRAGED at the current shit show. What weak fools we have become!
It's a shame the reader of the real audio book is absolutely appalling no feeling or understanding of what he's reading it's bizarre
I love the voice of the reader. This book hit home .I feel like this person is describing me.
Thank you for this wonderful upload ❤. I wish it was you who was the narrator of the original audiobook
Thanks.
Thank you!
Superb reading. Narrations of Orwell's essays are helping my pottering about feel less taxing.
A common cult caused my CPTSD and stole my identity in Christ. The Mormons. "The Chrurch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," is an attractive evil. That is what Satan DOES. They are the epitome of deceptive evil. Contempt has no role in following Jesus. None. Grace is the point of Jesus. Life void of grace, no self grace... that's hell.
Thank you
You're the best audiobook reader on RUclips. It feels really nice to listen to your work. Would you consider reading us the Lightning and the Sun by Savitri Devi next? It's a really good book and I listen to it all the time. It would be much better if read by you.
❤️
Giving form to my second shadow and promptly stomping it out with love, I will do so. Thank you, your charming voice can even break a raging storm.
This is great
Needed to hear this 🙌! Become an online boss > P-R-O-M-O-S-M!
Great choice. Thank you
Thanks for sharing this! So many adults suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder!
Hi thank you for reading this book is this just the first part? I only heard of this author today in reference to the Crappy Childhood Fairy who speaks about Childhood PTSD. You have read this so well. And with such a soothing voice and so clear. Thanks you so much I just shared this on my Twitter platform. This makes me want to get the book. I have never heard reference to emotional flashbacks which are just as traumatising as other flashbacks. And dissociation. I’m learning so much. I’m so glad I found ACA Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families. Anyone who has had a traumatic childhood or was raised by alcoholic parents. I have learned so much and felt so supported. I’d definitely recommend ACA. Blessings to us all. 🙏🏽❤️🕊
I find it hard to listen to it I don't like her voice it's so annoying too soft too slow and goodness come on such a good information and it's hard to hear it
Your readings are better than Ambien.
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
thank you. wonderful reading
Terrible flat lifeless reading. Like if reading a shopping list when half asleep,
Kindly don't make comments on my videos which you would not make to my face.
What makes you think I wouldn't say it to your face ? If I met you!
@@merelyhuman5295 But sorry if I appeared rude. Lovely voice just needs to be louder.
@@johnmulvey5121 'Lovely voice just needs to be louder' - this is useful, constructive feedback. Thank you.
Wtf
All of your selections are rad and you've got a real nice reading voice. Bring us more of whatever YOU want and are willing to read aloud. Thx for these : )
Thank you so much, when I can afford this book I will buy, but for now I'm struggling and need this access more than ever so thank you
