Reseña del editor:

This book is designed for the layman as a readable text to expose one's self to the wisdom writings of Ben Sira. It is in a simplified format so as not to be so intellectual that it becomes a scholar's reference. I want the average person to be able to concentrate on the wisdom and its reverberating thought and not other writings which could distract from the essence of thought that Ben Sira is propagating. It is taken from the original text in the King James Version of the Holy Bible and can be used as a family study guide or classroom lesson. It constitutes the wisdom writings of Ben Sira in the Apocrypha, which were translated into Greek by his grandson in the 2nd Century BCE. Unfortunately in life, most people seem to go through a stage where they learn from their hard mistakes, but here Mr. Sira gives you the ability to forgo this process by giving you the formula to avoid it. It can be said that from these writings: "Why experiment with one's own life when the lessons had already been learned and tested many thousands of years ago?" Sira's wisdom, if incorporated at an early age, will help all of us avoid the pitfalls of this wrong decision making process which leads to grief, sorrow, and in many cases a wasted life or death. Do not get frustrated if you do not understand a phrase or saying; be patient and read it again, for the essence of the wisdom will come upon you. It is not to be read as a judgment or condemnation nor should it be construed as ancient babble or chauvinistic idealism, for these wise writings are as pertinent today as they were then. The lessons they teach, together with the powers that emanate from those lessons, will have an everlasting positive effect on one's spiritual being by showing the way to deliverance from the bondage in which this culture attempts to ensnare all. May God bless you, John Eric Sparacio

Biografía del autor:

About three years ago I was diagnosed with a fatal physiological disorder which caused an awakening to come upon me. Instead of reading it as a death sentence, I understood it as a call from grace, God himself telling me to wake up from the false reality I was living. I then started using my valuable time on this earth and in this cherished human state to understand the wisdom of the universe. I redirected my energies from play and the pursuit of materialism to the gaining of knowledge and the understanding of my being. As this process continued, I had different levels of awakening, and to this day I am still growing with new thoughts and ideas streaming out of my consciousness on a daily basis. Reading played an important role for me and enabled my being to attach to the precious process of thought which ignited the rudimentary ideas of understanding of life itself. It has shown me that we are not just a collection of organs encased in flesh and bone that evolved from apes but a greater and more powerful creation which the science community is now just starting to learn and understand. Also, what I read is extremely important in this process; I chose to learn from the ancient stories of creation which tell of the powers in the human being. For as Isaac Newton believed, all ancient stories streamed a breath of wisdom and science which transcended through the word and filtered into the consciousness as enlightenment. Two years after this awakening I wrote my first two books, "Waking the Sleeping Mind" and "Unlocking the Consciousness of a Thought," which are reflections of this process and are delivered in a philosophical way which I feel ignites our sleeping mind in a metaphysical manner. Life has become more exciting for me as I learn of the consciousness in our being. It becomes like a ride on the most fantastic time machine. Every day is a new discovery and challenge. I still have the same emotions as I had, but for some reason they are more apt to be on the side
