Some stories talk about other places and other people, and we can dream about their lives and adventures. But this is a Story like one of the olds. And as every Story does, it talks about you, and me, and this place, and all places. And as you read, you see the Journey within the journey; how inside you lives a mother and a father, a brother and a sister, a neighbour, a friend, an enemy and a circle of trees. How the map is free to explore, and one has their Path of choice, while walking on the same soil. I invite you to take this journey and see which pathways these words might light up inside yourself, already there, waiting to be seen.

Dear Potential Reader, I just want to share with you what an incredible experience it has been to journey through the book Catalyst. It really was a journey. While the story is good, it's really not about that. There is a kind of emanation that appears from this book if you really, really read it. The beginning was a bit slow, but I think that is what life is like before things start to catalyze. This book is basically a mirror for a process. If you're really a seeker, truth over comfort, a solid aim toward awakening, you will see yourself in every part and character of this book. About 1/3 into the book things really pick up, and I believe this must be like how it is with the momentum of actual awakening. Eventually, I started to feel like each chapter was a living entity there to create a sort of tuning fork in the reader. The first 1/3 of the book I read relatively fast. Then I had a feeling that was like, slow down. I read about 1-3 chapters per day and that was perfect. I let myself sit with their potency. And actually, I started to feel like the heart of each chapter would start manifesting in my actual life very soon after or right before. Such a beautiful experience. Some parts move a bit fast and enigmatically, but I think that was probably on purpose. You have to let go of how you're used to reading books. Consuming for entertainment. I suggest you treat this book differently. Like a kind of delicate experience. A tuning fork. Go slow. Let go of the commentary. What I loved about it, is at first you feel like it takes place in modern times, maybe in the USA or another english speaking country... but as the story continues, time becomes more mysterious, and so does place. it starts to feel like the story exists in many different time periods, in many different places, sometimes almost mythical, sometimes more modern. and you never really get to know those things.... it's the heart of the story that matters. Enjoy this read, and happy waking up x

So much wisdom is interwoven with a great story. Simple and precise. I could see myself and others in the characters and situations. At times, I found myself in similar (sometimes in exactly the same) situations in daily life, and the book guided me and helped me help others—not through instructions, but through a story. The book also gives me a similar feeling to watching a great movie with a powerful ending that sits with you. You just be there and think, "Wow." That's how I feel while reading this book—not just at the end, but throughout it.

The depth of this book goes as far as you are willing to allow its profound simple truths to transform your perspective on life and what it means to be awake. The book shatters the common myths and fantasies about spiritual awakening, healing and "shadow work" with the simple direct revelation of working to be here now; furthermore, its simplicity and relatability profoundly mirrors my own life experience and struggles on the spiritual path of liberation. Each chapter feels as though it reflects and deepens my daily efforts to understand how and why I choose selfish and self-destructive habits. I am deeply grateful to the wisdom behind the book for assisting the awakening of deeper, more dynamic, and forgiving Love on this great journey of life. I genuinely and honestly recommended everyone to read this book if you are serious about waking up. And if you're just curious, then also go for it and you will be pleasantly and intimately surprised! Willful Love 🐦‍⬛🌞🕊️
