When the World Forgot to Feel

When the World Forgot to Feel

A Journey Back to Emotional Wisdom and Authentic Connection

About This Book

Reclaim Your Feelings as Sacred Intelligence

We live in a world that's learned to numb itself. We're told our emotions make us weak, our sensitivity is a burden, and that feelings are obstacles to overcome rather than wisdom to embrace.

This book challenges that narrative.

Following the journey of spiritual awakening in When the World Forgot to Listen, this second book in The Great Remembering Series explores something equally vital: the wisdom of authentic feeling.

Through personal stories, cultural insights, and practical wisdom, you'll discover how to transform your sensitivity from something you hide into a superpower for authentic connection.

Drawing from both Eastern emotional concepts (like pakiramdam - deep body sensing) and Western emotional intelligence, this guide reveals how your emotions aren't broken—they're trying to communicate something sacred.

Perfect for: Empaths navigating an insensitive world, sensitive men reclaiming emotional depth, anyone learning that their heart is just as intelligent as their mind.

A Note from the Author

This book came from personal necessity. After years of intellectual awakening, I realized I'd learned to think my way through life but had forgotten how to feel it. I was successful by conventional measures, yet emotionally empty—and I know I'm not alone in this experience.

The world doesn't need more brilliant minds detached from their hearts. It needs people willing to feel deeply, connect authentically, and use their sensitivity as a force for healing.

Whether you're recovering from emotional numbness, learning to trust your heart again, or discovering that your sensitivity is actually a superpower—this book is an invitation home to yourself.

Because here's the truth: when we remember to feel, the world remembers to heal.

With deep feeling,
Ray
