The Play: An Act of Awakening is a luminous adventure through the dreamscape of existence, where life is revealed as a stage and the self as both actor and audience.
In this introspective and poetic narrative, J. Franco traces the soul's descent from pure awareness into the dense illusions of separation, struggle, and forgetfulness - and its slow, trembling rediscovery of the truth that was never lost. Guided by the haunting inner "voice" of fear and conformity, the protagonist moves through the rites of Infancy, Adolescence, Adulthood, and beyond, searching for something forgotten but not destroyed.
This is esoteric wisdom with a heartfelt literary style, The Play invites the reader to awaken from the hypnotic game of doing and striving, and to return to the effortless presence of being. It speaks to anyone who has felt trapped in cycles of doubt, who has glimpsed the silence beneath the noise, and who longs to reclaim the freedom that lies just beyond the veil.
Most of all, The Play is an act of remembrance and a ritual of return. Out of the shadows of our own creation into the light of our essence.
