In The Separation, co- authors Antoine Bacha and Liliana Franco explain how a voice spoke to them in broadly differing circumstances and more than twenty years apart. Each co-author explains in gripping terms, how his and her encounter with The Voice unfolded. In this first book from the Cogito series, The Voice portrays how we, humankind, came into existence as limited human forms, while the creator remains an eternal spirit. It takes our mind from its comfortable state of accepting the world as it has been, and forces it to question itself. The Separation is the beginning of The Voice's pronouncements on truth, love, courage, peace and forgiveness.

As you open the pages of Cogito: Part 2, The Dream it will not take you long to realize that you are entering a different world, the world of Cogito. The Dream is the second book in a series of offerings by Antoine Bacha and Liliana Franco. These co-authors are on a mission: to deliver the message conveyed by a spiritual entity they refer to as The Voice; and to help all those besieged by the questions and contradictions that arise in human life., The Dream will take the reader on a journey that will challenge him or her, to consider their physical, mental and spiritual values. It explores the dynamics of the mind and its relationship to the thought system in which the world dwells. The Dream seeks to cover every aspect of existence: how each facet is developed and how it influences us. It unveils the root of action, desire, feelings, thought, emotion, sickness and death. The dream helps us see the world through the veil of "form." It helps us understand where we are to find "who" or what we are. Reading The Separation, the first book of Cogito, will help the reader understand how the authors arrived at the point in which they are, compelled to investigate such impenetrable questions as functions of the consciousness; the predicaments of thought; and the complexity of the self., The past determines the future. Or does it? As humans inhabiting the world, we have many questions about the nature of the universe to ponder. The Dream is one tiny step in the direction of the proverbial light shining at the end of the tunnel.

Chapter Three, This book is about our search for truth, the most dominant facet of our lifetime. It came with a purpose that we may not have found had it not been for an unforeseen chain of events that overtook us. This is our testimony as we continue our search. , If it had not been for the power of creation, which was given from the creator, we would be in an infinite euphoria, all powerful with the creator. You would not be reading this literature as these words would not have been written., Possibly, it was just having everything, like a child being served on a silver platter, which made creation yearn for more. Or was it simply having free will? These types of questions are open-ended and endless in regard to creation. In that case, it may be fruitless to ask what its reason was for separating from its source. , The voice taught Antoine and Liliana that energy is wasted when we dwell in the past. Rarely can we achieve anything of significance when we bar something from existing in the present. "The past has departed, and only now does reality exist." , Often we believe what we think is real when we conclude that what we see and feel is who we really are. When this happens, it is because we have allowed the ego and its form to blind us and to keep us from seeing true reality. , From the beginning of human consciousness, in one fashion or another, man has strived to understand his existence. We wonder what our bloodlines are. To date, the history of humankind is still not very clear on the subject. It is a study that will never end since we were endowed with a trait that has allowed the human race to survive. It is called curiosity. If the answer was as simple as saying "We are just one, " then we could just be done with it. , Is there a definitive answer to the question why, if we view a creator as "love and life, " we live on this earth in sorrow and regret? Could it be that it is because we think that we can love, and then turn around and take away the life that causes this conflict? How can anyone then claim he is carrying out the will of the real creator? The very structure of the human body is limited enough to endure pain, deceit, loss and death, hardly the work of a perfect entity. Perhaps, it is wiser to simply question what we believe and think., "The voice knows our minds and we (Antoine and Liliana) know that the following text will raise questions. And, even though we have listened to the voice and are passing on its message, we are not interpreting what we are delivering to you. We are simply repeating. The will of the voice has chosen for us to tell everything that we learn from its words.", , "In the world of which you think is reality, everything seems like a labyrinth that wherever you turn, you find a wall of what you have already seen before. You keep turning and you find no door or no window with the answer to the ultimate truth. That is because wherever you turn, you see nothing, since where you turn is in your mind, and the mind in which you choose to turn is the mind-asleep." , While this literature holds that the creator recognizes creation, as a parent regards an offspring, the creator is aware that his creation has drifted into other thoughts and does not remember him while sleeping., Now, when observing an infant asleep, watching the innocence and delicateness of his body, we cannot see into his dreams. Nightmares may cause him to scream or have outbursts and tears. Or, if he smiles or coos in his sleep, we believe he is playing with angels. No matter what we observe, we do not know what the infant is dreaming., Likewise, the creator knows when creation sleeps, but cannot know what creation dreams, only that creation is as pure as it is. This child is as innocent as the natural world that resonates the creation of the most innocent dreams. Like your dreams or the infant's dreams, they seem real. , Waking that infant while he dreams could cause him to experience discomfort. The creator would never wake creation, because it knows creation's will is its own extension. , When we wake up from sleeping, we know that our dreams are not real. When creation wakes, it is similarly fascinated and positive that it was dreaming and will inevitably remember what is real., The creator is real and true. Truth does not change; it is what it is. An inspiration comes from a thought and thoughts can only come from the mind. Thoughts that change and contradict truth are unreal, for truth will not contradict itself. , If we believe that love sustains the world, it renders hope and the strength to move forward infinitely. Hence, the creator is love, and love is unconditional and supreme. Therefore, form within the realm of love is superfluous, lending less credence to love., "When you think of love as feelings, it is not real. Feelings are sensations stimulated by the body and the body contradicts the truth in your mind. The truth in your mind is from the creator and love is in the mind. The mind is infinite and what is infinite does not end."
