Love, Pain, Deceit, and Other Life's Mysteries: Poems and Songs

Description

This book is about taking a trip into a human condition of love, pain, and deceit. It also looks into other mysteries and unexplained phenomenon. Love can be fascinating and intriguing and it also can be painful at the same time. In addition, we as humans are capable to manipulate others by deceptive motives and disguising intentions. Daily we wear a mask of social expectations, yet our shadow always lurks in the background. But in dealing with our daily entrapments, we dissociate and are able to look into our soul, as well as endless bounds of our universe. As we strive for the higher enlightenment, we reach into the unknown. This collection of poems and songs, is a bit unusual. Author chose this structure because most songs are be read as poetry and many poems can be sung as songs. Some of these poems and songs are mildly metaphorical, yet others are surrealistic and a reader may apply extreme imagination. The intention of the author is to evoke emotions and fascinate thought.

He became interested in human consciousness and exploring it through music and poetry. At the same time, he practiced Martial Arts, where he met his teacher and mentor. The basic idea of learning was not to limit yourself and to reach the highest level at whatever one tries to reach, which meant that there would be no end or limit to learning. As a result of this mindset, he had accomplished some of the most difficult tasks. Dr. Reznik's philosophy is to never have limitations and each complex task can be broken down to simplicity, learned, and executed.
