AWARENESS THE PASSAGE TO HAPPINESS JOURNEY

The journey of Tanxian Zhe, better known as “Tan,” begins aboard the Conscious Awareness. His allegorical ship takes you to different ports within your own heart, soul, and mind. Alongside Tan, you’ll explore places and meet characters that symbolize different emotional states—some that hold you back from happiness, and others that move you closer to it.
Through the lens of each character’s point of view, you’ll uncover how the power of thought, perspective, and conscious choice can guide you toward a more fulfilling life. This voyage isn’t just Tan’s—it’s yours, too. Ask yourself: Where are your thoughts, beliefs, and decisions steering you?
Awareness Journey is more than a story; it’s one of today’s Highly Recommended Self-Improvement Books, praised for being “inspirational,” “a clear fictional journey to discovering joy,” “an understandable read,” and “a valuable parable for our day.”
Excerpts
“The entire trip started with a walk down to the harbor where I often went to gather my thoughts and dream of a better life. My imagination took me to places all around the globe. I visited ancient cities or tropical islands, and everywhere in between. In my mind, I lived the good life, solved the world’s problems, or became a super hero.”
“They directed me towards their boat. The Conscious Awareness looked like it was made from mother-of-pearl with immaculate black and silver accents. Someone must have polished it for several days, because it shone brighter than any boat I had ever seen. When we reached the vessel, the two men stepped aside to let me board first, I felt like royalty as they both motioned for me to step on deck.”
“Danielle explained it a little further to help me understand. She said, at the lowest levels of awareness, our ego is very weak in self-esteem. We don’t feel good about ourselves at all. We look only outside ourselves. In reality, our ego is one hundred percent in control of us. We believe we are powerless and have absolutely no control over anything. We are at the mercy of our environment, and our focus is merely survival. Something or someone – or, actually, everything and everyone – has power over us. As we take on more of the higher spiritual attractor fields, we begin to realize we do have control, but along with that control comes responsibility. “
