My Mind and I: The Struggle of Soul and Mind

About this book

Behind silent rooms' walls, and at the deepest point of our souls, a battle rages whose din no one hears. It is no sword battle, but of words the 'soul' whispers at its weak moments, and truths the 'mind' imposes at its stern moments. In the book (My Mind and I), writer Aya Ali takes us on an exceptional journey beginning with a mysterious question: what if you woke to find yourself soaring above your reality? Is it a dream, or is it the soul when freed from the body's shackles to face its truth? The work departs from a pivotal moment in the heroine's life, her thirtieth birthday, where imagination mingles with reality, and she finds herself in direct confrontation with her inner voice, that mind which long was jailer and guide at once. The book progresses between deep human scenes; at times we see the world from a plane window gathering the stranger, the sad, and the optimistic, and at times we dive into the 'subconscious' labyrinths hiding our imprisoned memories and forgotten desires. This work is no mere narration of situations, but an invitation to reconcile with our selves.
