Jonathan and the Ruler of Awareness - A Spiritual Quest by Pnina Elkayam
This spiritual novel is aimed at increasing readers’ consciousness and bringing to light the "Awareness of the Ant Syndrome". This original expression encompasses all types of evil done by human beings, and represents the purest selfishness in its most extreme expression, which results in a total disregard for others. The author has managed to instill in her writing an educational-spiritual system that opposes this devastating syndrome with knowledge based on ancient Jewish traditions and beliefs.
