About this listen

"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 audiobook 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.

“You are not the thought, you are what hears the thought. You are not the feeling, you are what is revealed through the feeling.”

Some books, and some lines hit you to the core and readjust your perceptions.

This is one of them. I will be listening to this again and again.

Poignant and Soothing

I listened to this cover to cover in one sitting. Constantly eager to hear what Brianna had to say next, will probably read a few more times!

Couldn’t put it down.

I can’t possibly give the credit this material deserves. I felt this book. It was like a beautiful, warm hug. Knowing there is an incredible young mind capable of sharing such profound insights to life matters gives me great hope for the future leadership of humanity. I’m really into Brianna’s work. Her material is entirely relatable, incredibly uplifting, and absolutely reassuring. The Human Element has made me make more sense of my life experiences and has left me feeling more connected to people. I’ve fallen, totally and utterly in love with Brianna’s mind. It gives me immense comfort knowing my daughters will have access to her books as an option for understanding and guidance, I thank you!

Thank you
