 I highly recommend this book to everyone.! Mar 08, 2007
By S. M. Knight
A Language Unconscious is a uniquely profound book of literature. It blends a storyline of love, politics and religion into passages of poetry. At times the story stirs you to pause and reflect on its meaning (hidden or otherwise). The insight, imagination and love for writing is evident with this new author. I highly recommend this book to intellectuals who have a desire to move beyond the conscious mind into the world of a not so impossible future.

Excellent first work from a very talented writer Mar 09, 2007
By J. GREEN
This is a phenomenal piece of literary work. It is provocative, inspired, and relentlessly entertaining. The more I read the more I wanted to explore the hidden meanings and thoughts of the author. I was highly intrigued, impressed, and equally inspired. I feel sure this is the first of many works to come from this young author.

 A Book By Any Other Name Just Wouldn't Be The Same Feb 26, 2007
By Joseph P. Mcguinness
This review is by the book's author:
It is essentially Beowulf meets The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test with a religious twist.
Names play a big role in this book.
Lila Seraphina is a name I made up, but it comes from the word seraphim which was an order of angels with six wings known as "the fiery ones". I learned that word when I was researching the title of a book I had called Codex Seraphinianus by luigi serafini. It is absolutely from another world and you should look it up. Lila, comes from a Native American legend about a snake that eats its own tail.
Lila's father's name is Ramandu. It's an obscure reference to a character in The Chronicles of Narnia. In it, Ramandu is said to have the most beautiful daughter in the universe, but she is never given a name.
The main characters name is Sol, which is sun in spanish, but it was also a play on the sound in english as he was supposed to represent what I felt in my soul when I wrote the book. His girlfriend is Luna, because that's moon in Spanish.
If there were a "thesis statement" to this book, this would be it:
Solar Eclipse
The Atheists are right,
There is a God,
And in all this confusion
No peace has yet been found.
?Unbelieve
?out-rationalize religion
We will never meet god unmasked,
But to deny the essence of faith
Is to walk blindly through fields of inner vision
And lose yourself.
God is not real to the five senses.
Those who have experienced hir presence
Hold no photographs,
But unlocked in their minds
Is the sum of being,
A new potential,
Unavailable to those too sensible to find it.
Mysteries and truths
Fallacies and passion
Many have yet to find the light.
Many never will.
Some who have, have not.
Some who have not
Know their own way,
And to shun a man
Who has found his light
For his method of retrieval
Is the greatest mistake one can make;
For it is not truth which we pursue in religion,
It is inspiration and beauty,
Security and love;
We pursue the great gifts of humanity,
Those gifts that were granted us by time
To hold for this one brief moment
That we call life.

 naive Jun 22, 2010
By Dale
Very interesting title. Stumbled across this. Reading the product description and the author's own 4-star review I have to say he is very naive. His philosophy amounts to "believe whatever you want, even if you want to make up something new. Anything goes." Well, that's not really new, is it? If he really wants to consider the big question of existence, then what if there is a God and what does that answer mean as to how we live? Because the world is messy and people disagree, he wants to simplify things to everyone is right and let's all get along. I wish life were so simple. If this book was written for entertainment and the author is as clever as he seems then it might be a good read. But as his description sounds like his serious attempt at processing life I'm not interested in opening the cover on this naivete.

Why not to buy this book. May 24, 2007
By Roger Carlson
The author of this book posted his own review of his book here and surprise, surprise, he gave himself four stars. I will never buy any book where the author is so egotistical that he or she is unwilling to let the book stand on its own merits. This author is so insecure that he tried to manipulate the rating system. This is not ethical and no one should patronize anyone who cheats in such a blatant and pathetic manner.
