‘The Dons Who Rocked My World’

Emerging writer Dasun Abeysekera launched his maiden novel – ‘The Dons Who Rocked My World’ – last month, under the distinguished patronage of Founder and President of the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne.

The Guest Speaker at the launch was Senior Lecturer, Department of English of the University of Sri Jayawardenepura Shamara Ransirini. The writer’s website, www.dasun.lk, was also launched on the same evening.

A Sarasavi publication, this is a compilation of essays on a theory of intelligent design. The book chronicles how the author’s love of music and his musical heroes take him on a fascinating journey of discovery, where he follows his own insights and inspirations to decipher the truth while questioning the dictates of popular culture and mainstream opinion. The author believes humanity is now at her greatest threshold of evolution: we are given only two choices – liberty or slavery – but the choice is still ours to make.

According to the writer, “Earth is a spiritual battleground. While forces of darkness relentlessly conspire to enslave the soul of man, forces of light courageously challenge them to liberate man from the clutches of oppression. This epic struggle for the coveted human heart, mind and soul drives the evolution of human awareness of life and liberty.”

In today’s complex world, overwhelmed with a myriad of choices and alternative viewpoints, how does any man come to know the truth about reality? Should he follow the dictates of popular culture and mainstream opinion without investigation and verification? Or should he follow the directions of his own insights in deciphering the truth for himself?

Under the patronage of global financial oligarchs, modern day scientists and social engineers have crafted sophisticated mechanisms with the intention of violating man’s natural instincts, in order to subvert society for their gain; under their patronage, popular media fronts have weaved a web of deception to mislead the public into acceding to these oligarchs’ self-interested designs.

“Fortunately, brave pioneering journalists and thinkers are raising awareness globally to a conspiracy of monstrous proportions to enslave all of mankind under a tyrannical centralised global government. While a growing stream of men, worldwide, are following them and realising the true state of reality, and are liberating themselves from mass hypnosis cast by social engineering, pressures of conformity, fears of alienation and cognitive dissonance have imprisoned the natural desires of many others from expressing and sharing what they truly feel,” the writer adds.

The author Dasun is an emerging writer who closely follows global geo-political events and trends and writes about their psychological and philosophical undertones and implications to moulding human behaviour.

His passion is to bring to the foreground suppressed knowledge and history, as well as share his perceptions of the undercurrents of behaviour and creativity in both personal and sociological spheres, to create higher awareness and understanding of global citizenship. Expansion of consciousness, he believes, is the key to unearthing immense hidden human potential and the fostering of a new era of peace and prosperity.

He had his primary and secondary education at Royal College, Colombo and then pursued his higher education in Computer Science at the Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. The tragic events of 11 September 2001 opened his eyes to an occult dimension of reality and sparked his interest in American and global geo-politics.  

Nine years later, he returned to Sri Lanka with a higher education that was vastly different from his originally intended path, and that had transformed his perception of global power structures and geo-politics that chart the course of human events.

“This first publication is a stepping-stone to a number of other research works and creative writing which would be made available in the near future,” he says.
