AlbakiReads Editorial

A memoir of music, crisis, and spiritual inquiry

Edward Jabari frames this first volume as a personal account of a difficult childhood, coming of age, and the path toward an attempted suicide at nineteen. Music serves as a central guide through that history, alongside the author’s explorations of spirituality, consciousness, love, mortality, and free will. The book also presents Jabari’s reflections on astral and timeless dimensions, masculine and feminine integration, and the possibility of choosing a more compassionate and sustainable collective future. As Volume 1, it establishes an autobiographical journey that joins lived experience with expansive questions about reality and belief.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in memoirs about coming of age and personal crisis
  • Those drawn to spiritually oriented autobiographical writing
  • Music-minded readers interested in rock-and-roll culture as a personal lens

Book overview

ONCE AND FOR ALL MANKIND-VOLUME 1: MY ROCK & ROLL DREAM is the detailed account of my tumultuous childhood and raucous coming of age, spiritual awakening, and the events leading up to my attempted suicide at age nineteen, untold in its entirety, even to my closest loved ones, until now.

 

The reader journeys with me and the music, which was guiding me, to previously uncharted reaches of the psyche, collective consciousness, inter-dimensional exploration, transcendental love, and finally to the limits of one man's mortality.

 

The very nature of reality and free will, life and death, our existence in astral and timeless dimensions, the integration of the masculine and feminine within each of us, and the choices we have in what we believe (and collectively over the future of our species) are explored in vivid detail.

 

I challenge readers to go beyond societal programming, reclaim free will, and use their imagination to foster a more compassionate, sustainable, and peaceful existence, both within each of our individual worlds and collectively.

 

This book is an homage to those who create the music and tell the real story in the name of Love. Enjoy the ride!
