SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING Is Now Available!
Sol Luckman
While my new novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, was composed with young adult and young-at-heart readers in mind, the book recently proved its literary merit by receiving an Honorable Mention in the 2014 Beach Book Festival Prize competition in the general fiction category.
Here are some excerpts from the stellar reviews that have already come in …
“SNOOZE is without doubt one of the best coming-of-age, awakening books that I have ever read, and it had me entranced from beginning to end.” —Ingrid Hall, Author & Freelance Editor
“SNOOZE is a book for readers ready to awaken from our mass cultural illusion before we self-destruct.” —Merry Hall, Co-Host of ENVISION THIS
“This is a good read. One to share across generations, across space and time—or time and space.” —Dr. Janet Graham, Kalamazoo, Michigan
“A literary treasure. SNOOZE is a beautiful and fascinating depiction of the awakening process that will touch your heart.” —Liliana Cartagena
“This is a book that, when many people read it, will be instrumental in the world being a better place to live.” —Jennifer Churchill
In a recent essay, I describe some of the how and why SNOOZE came about:
I had in mind to write something indeed like a superhero story—but a believable one, a far cry from the standard stretched affairs currently gracing so many silver screens.
I also had a notion to write a book about how real magic, as opposed to a load of hocus pocus involving wizards and wands, might function in—and ultimately change—the real world.
By “real magic,” I mean just that. Specifically, I’m referring to the longstanding tradition of seemingly miraculous abilities called siddhis in Vedic lore—which are understood not as superhuman capacities so much as inherent to, if submerged in, human nature.
Siddhis come in a number of varieties, but common ones, witnessed by thousands of people over the ages, include telekinesis (moving objects with the mind), telepathy (ESP), and levitation or flying.
Historically documented in numerous individuals, from Indian gurus to the Catholic priest, Padre Pio, such powers are said to emerge organically from within the human being, often in connection with pineal gland activation and lucid dreaming.
The idea of siddhis had fascinated me ever since I first learned of them in college. It was mind-blowing that one of the oldest systems of personal development on the planet—the Vedic tradition of India—insisted, in essence, that everyone inherits the capability of becoming a superhero!
Begging the question … What would it actually be like to experience the sprouting and flowering of these inborn occult powers in oneself?
SNOOZE is finally available—in both paperback and ebook formats—at most online retailers, including Amazon, Amazon (UK), Amazon (Canada), Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Lulu, and my own website, where you can also peruse or download the first fourteen chapters ...

“The Cutting-edge of the Cutting-edge”: Doctor Raves about POTENTIATE YOUR DNA
Sol Luckman
Yet another fantastic reader review (below) of my empowering self-help book on DNA activation, POTENTIATE YOUR DNA, was recently posted to the book’s Amazon page, where both the paperback and Kindle versions are available.
The first DNA activation in the “revolutionary healing science” (NEXUS) of the Regenetics Method, Potentiation employs linguistic codes-produced vocally and mentally-to stimulate a self-healing and transformational ability in DNA.
In this exploration of sound healing, learn how to activate your genetic potential-in a single, 30-minute session!
Besides teaching you a technique you can perform for your family, friends and even pets, POTENTIATE YOUR DNA also: 1) provides tried and true supplemental tools for maximizing your results; and 2) outlines a pioneering theory linking genetics, energy and consciousness.
Writes Dr. David Kamnitzer in his five-star review of the book,
It is obvious that in POTENTIATE YOUR DNA Sol Luckman has seen clearly through much of the miasma that constitutes the “water” that our society swims in. This book presents a way of being with DNA that points to a path to and vision of wholeness that stirs the soul. He uses the term “meta-genetics” as a handle for this new paradigm—a paradigm that goes to the Heart of the Matter—literally! I resonated deeply with much of his message, including 1) the primacy of Love … expressing first as Sound … then moving into Light as the dimensional worlds appear; 2) the use of Solfeggio frequencies and specific vowel sound sequences to activate dormant potentialities of Being and DNA; and 3) a new model of the interface between planes and chakras that allows for and even illuminates the unique individual responses to common stresses. If you love the cutting-edge of the cutting-edge … read this book!

SNOOZE: A Blueprint for Merging Worlds
Sol Luckman
“I not only liked [SNOOZE]. I loved it … SNOOZE … is so much more than a story about a young man’s awakening … SNOOZE is as critical to spiritual seekers today as the CELESTINE PROPHECY in its time.” —Laura Walker, OracleReport.com
Check out this wide-ranging interview this wide-ranging interview focused on my Amazon bestselling novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING.
Indie Reader had this to say about this latest sensation in speculative fiction that is taking the metaphysical and consciousness crowd by storm:
“SNOOZE is a captivating coming-of-age tale about a gifted boy traveling to a fantastical realm to save his father … Thanks to author Sol Luckman’s writing ability, SNOOZE can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, despite being aimed at young adults. Right off the bat, the writing is engaging and captures the attention.”
Readers’ Favorite was even more enthusiastic:
“Luckman’s dazzling abilities as a novelist abound with lyrical prose … Although [SNOOZE] chronicles a boy’s transition into manhood, I would not consider it young adult. The provocative subject matter of science and spirituality is very mature … If you enjoy colorful characters, a fast-paced plot and stories that tug at your heart, this novel in eighty-four chapters is anything but a yawn.”
Join Laura Walker in conversation with yours truly for an in-depth look at Sacred Masculinity, the Divine Feminine, the importance of art in social transformation, awakening to one’s own inner power, undoing the parasitic influence of the Archons—and much more!

Dream Big with This Pair of Fantastic Interviews on SNOOZE
Sol Luckman
“I, Chuang Chou, dreamed I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, for all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware I was Chou. Soon I awakened, and there I was, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was a man dreaming I was a butterfly—or whether I am a butterfly dreaming I am a man.” Zhuangzi
Zhuangzi’s famous quote serves as the epigraph to my Amazon bestselling paranormal novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, the epic metaphysical tale of one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the reality-altering quality of his dreams.
Reviews have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Indie Reader had this to say about this newest sensation in visionary fiction that is taking the new age crowd by storm:

Readers’ Favorite was even more effusive:
“Luckman’s dazzling abilities as a novelist abound with lyrical prose … Although [SNOOZE] chronicles a boys transition into manhood, I would not consider it young adult. The provocative subject matter of science and spirituality is very mature … If you enjoy colorful characters, a fast-paced plot and stories that tug at your heart, this novel in eighty-four chapters is anything but a yawn.”

More recently, I joined Lance White, author of TALES OF A ZANY MYSTIC, for a Fireside Chat about SNOOZE on BBS Radio.
Lance and I covered a lot of ground in less than an hour, placing special emphasis on the manner in which SNOOZE touches on a plethora of conspiracy theories (many of which are proving true even as a I write for those willing to … awaken).
Lance summarized our chat this way:
Sol Luckman shared the story about how his latest book, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, came about. It’s a moving story, and the book is a multi-dimensional, many-faceted gem of a read. From mysteries to metaphysics, entering the dream world, Bigfoot, high magic and daring feats of courage, this book has it all … This is a delightful show, which opens up the person behind the writing, and I must admit he’s a very likeable fellow! I highly recommend [SNOOZE] for all ages. It’s an exciting journey within. Don’t miss it!

Was Historical Russian “Apewoman” Really a Sasquatch?
Sol Luckman
I wish to take this opportunity to share with readers interested in the paranormal and cryptozoology this recent fascinating article from the INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES:
Russian “Apewoman” Could Have Been a Yeti, According to DNA Tests
Squatch skeptics love to point out the lack of verifiable evidence of Bigfoot and its arctic cousin, the Yeti. Then again, skeptics love to sweep the existing evidence of hominid cryptids under the carpet, as brilliantly pointed out by the late Lloyd Pye in the following seminal lecture from 1999 ...
