A Snail's Tale tells the story of a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening - a dramatic unblocking of energy that originates at the base of the spine and uncoils upward along the spine where one spontaneously experiences total bliss and oneness; an experience where reality shifts and consciousness expands out until you know you are everything and everything is you.. The shattering of a life during its happening and the discovery of the answers to life's biggest questions in its aftermath. Pre-Order it today
By all outward-facing measures, Luke’s life was a roaring success. A top 40 under 40 award recipient for distinction in entrepreneurship in Canada, a relatively harmonious and loving nuclear family life, friends all over the world from years of travel and a romantic love he believed was quite simply the greatest love of all time. He could think of no other relationships on earth as easeful, soulful and perfectly matched as his. By many inward facing measures however, his inner life felt anything but successful. For much of his life, Luke battled depression and a deep sense that he was all alone in the universe; that none of any of existence really mattered. It was only funny that we refer to matter as the contents of existence and then spend a lifetime wondering if it even matters.
Near the end of 2021, Luke experienced an energetic eruption around his perineum that sent energy swirling upward around his spine toward his head where, once the energy reached his crown, gave him an overwhelming sensory perception that he was connected to the entirety of the universe and all of its contents. He could feel everything, including every person, as himself. The energy was so profound that his nervous system felt like a loving atomic explosion had ignited its every fiber. For some time, he couldn’t stop shaking. The entire experience was a pure sense of loving awareness. Among many he had already had in less dramatic fashion and would then come to experience in ever more dramatic fashion. In that exact moment, there was no fear, no anxiety, no linear time and his sense of self eviscerated. Outside of that moment and at that time, it was totally disorienting. Having no context for this event, and many others he experienced, he spent a year in Canada seeking help from many different doctors. He “specialist”-hopped – thinking he was going insane and that his body was failing him. He had no idea what had happened.
Three weeks and two days prior to this event, he would have been overheard saying to a friend “I’m with the love of my life. We never fight, we love the same things and have the same vision for our futures. She’s my person forever and I just know it. I’m so happy with her.” Three weeks after saying this, Luke told that same friend he was now out of the house. He and his beloved had suddenly, out of seemingly nowhere, broken up.
It was two days after leaving the sanctity of a perfect love and their home of 13 of their 15 years together, when Luke experienced what he came to understand was as a spontaneous Kundalini awakening. Luke’s entire world-view, sensory perception of reality and understanding of life completely shifted. In the coming months, having one divine-like experience after another that he would not have believed had he not directly experienced them, Luke came to answer all of his existential questions.
A Snail’s Tale is a creative memoire that documents the events leading up to this overwhelming moment in Luke’s life – and those that followed – as well as how his reality has been shaped ever since. The story is one he believes skeptics of spirit, energy, oneness or any number of “esoteric,” “woo woo”, “unscientific” or “God-like” topics comes to find that there might be something to what some of the hippies, sages and mystics have been saying all along.
We need not be trapped in our suffering in this lifetime. A Snail’s Tale tells the beautiful and true story of one man’s spontaneous awakening and how that has transformed his life from one where consistent depression privately plagued what was publicly seen as a successful life to one where consistent states of flow, oneness, joy and, above all, equanimity are the textures of his daily canvas. A life of speed and pursuing happiness transformed into a life of slowness and being happy; without sacrificing financial nor worldly matters. In a world racing toward technology to extend human life-spans – whilst most human’s perception of time as they age is increasingly speeding along – A Snail’s Tale tells us we can extend our perception of time a lot more easily and without needing to wait for scientific discoveries. Nor anything outside of ourselves. Luke believes that if he lives to 100, it will have felt like 200 or more years at his current pace of experience. He hopes others will be able to slow down and engage with the world with the fullness of their senses as well. This among many surprising revelations, A Snail’s Tale is one man’s accidental discovery of what it is each of us is truly made of, where we come from, why we’re here and what happens when we die: it’s ALL nothing short of magic!
