The Human Element

In her second collection of prose, Brianna Wiest explores the areas in which the physical and metaphysical meet. Her storytelling and poetic reflections are thought-provoking, soul-stirring, and a simple guide for those on a journey of awakening to their innermost truths.

You do not have to be a deeply spiritual person to understand what the human element is, or how it applies to you, or what you are supposed to do with this book once you read it.

This is the story of becoming, the process of actualization that we all go through, especially when we are most unaware that it’s happening. Written with striking familiarity and uncanny understanding, this book will open your heart and touch your soul by putting into words the things that are both deeply rooted and hidden in us that we miss them even when they are most transparent.

The human element is the thing that binds us, the thing we have to overcome, how we have to stop standing in our own way and let everything unfold. It is a philosophical take on what it means to overcome humanness by acceptance, initially realized through the experiences of sleep paralysis and other awakenings.
