Featuring Mr. ((($hhh…)))
THE CRAWL SPACE GUIDEBOOK
(THE CRAWL SPACE Lifestyle Series)
THE CRAWL SPACE GUIDEBOOK serves as a companion piece to THE ATTENTION WARS, the first book published in THE CRAWL SPACE Lifestyle Series.
Essentially, the guidebook provides background for the setting of the entire visionary landscape presented by the series, along with detailed explanations about the concepts that aim to offer remedies for distraction, distortion, and disconnection (in other words, strategies promoting focus, self-awareness, and connection). Although intended as a foundational guidebook for THE CRAWL SPACE, the text can be read as a stand-alone document that will provide readers with life enhancing content that will transform the present moment into the miracle that it is.
THE ATTENTION WARS ARE DEFINITELY HERE!
The Attention Wars has been launched! This is the first installment in what promises to be an enlightening, magnetic book series that could only be produced by THE CRAWL SPACE.
THE ATTENTION WARS – An introduction
Eckhart Tolle once asked a question that set off an intimate little fire in my brain… a fire that I knew I had to try to put out, to extinguish (to some degree, or another…especially since I identify as water). And the question is this: “Can human beings lose the density of their conditioned mind structures and become like crystals or precious stones, so to speak, transparent to the light of consciousness?”
Well, whether that question means anything to you or not, the answer is a definite (or shall I say, infinite) YES!!! It is very much possible to lose that density, or else to temporarily escape from the grasp of that most personal imprisonment. Yes, it is possible; but for it to be possible, for it to happen, one must learn how to place GAPS in the TRAPS using the RAILS.
And it is with confidence I make the following claim that contained within the structure of that phrase is the answer to everything you need to make your life radiate with relationship awareness, with miracle and perfection, with beauty and peace, trust me; GAPS in the TRAPS using the RAILS. And I guarantee you this experience—Enter THE CRAWL SPACE—but only if you come, follow me…

EXCERPTS
#1. (Page 7)
These young pupils of mine were actually audacious enough
to be performing an autopsy on me—centerstage, propped up.
That’s right, Me…Dead in the middle.
And it didn’t seem to matter to them that I had regained consciousness,
looking at them flush in the face with live and direct eye contact—
or should I perhaps more accurately say
surgical strikes ‘cause that’s how they continued to operate—
(especially on the residuals of my Bell’s palsy)
where they poked and prodded and picked,
dissecting me with names like Cyclops and Little Eye Lewis, the Lopsided One,
Blinky and of course Popeye (with a side of chapped bottom lip)…
No, they just wouldn’t quit…
#2. (Page 14)
Famous because a student of mine one time took a couple of snap shots of me
when I was looking like the result of a mob hit—a stylish execution—
but it went wild, and it circulated among the student ranks—yes, it went viral
and it was eventually filed under the title:
“The Long Term Effects of Mr. Lewis’ Grueling Routine…”
“…see him as he drools down his chin, his green Truman polo turned into a bib…”
I went beddy-bye as I once did as a child in the back seat of my dad’s little blue ride
around the boulevards and avenues which abruptly turned into the stations and stops
of a transportation transfer soon after the divorce settlement meant
only transit tokens (of a father’s love) permanently traded into a slot;
it was such an agonizing flip then a consoling flop at 7 years old—
the brand new mobile mattress for me was laying coma-style stress upon my mother’s ribs—
during long trips—that subway trained me well—
simulating the soothing and hypnotic motion of a rocking crib…
#3. (Page 16)
“But before you are given the keys… Before you are given the keys
that will permit you to return to your true organic home of origin, the very first thing
you must know is that every human being once born is thrust into what has now
come to be called, “THE ATTENTION WARS.” And it is called The Attention Wars
because from Day 1, upon immediate arrival, each living being experiences
the aggressive competition for their attention that is relentlessly waged by
the external world—from extraction, to mommy’s first hug, to wipe him off,
to can I get a peek? To peek-a-boo, time for his shots, time for her bath, coochie coo,
say cheese, he looks better in blue, she looks better in pink, can I hold him, to hey,
guess what hand it’s in? now you see it now you don’t, time for din-din, let’s see if
you’re ticklish, anything in your diaper? do you have to make stink stink?
Open your mouth, have a little taste of this, have a little taste of that, give her the
bottle, no give him the pacifier, say bye-bye, now close your eyes,
please fall asleep…Shhhh.”
