This book is about the Orang Asli, an indigenous minority people inhabiting West Malaysia. The study of three time periods (pre-colonial, colonial, and post-independence) reveals that the Orang Asli have developed a common pan-Orang Asli identity and political consciousness. This study contributes to applied political science by identifying a polity among the Orang Asli, and thus refutes earlier scholarly work portraying the Orang Asli as a fragmented people void of political import. Specifically two issues land and Islam are identified as the motivational forces behind Orang Asli ethnogenesis and politization. Land suitable to their quasi nomadic lifestyle has gradually become scarce and state sponsored Islam is increasingly omnipresent. Thus, Orang Asli's concerns about their land rights and religious freedom have over time compelled them to negotiate their existence with the Malaysian state. This ongoing relationship substantiates the coherent political force of the Orang Asli in Malaysia. This case study also addresses broader issues of race relations in Malaysia, Islam in Southeast Asia, and regime relations with indigenous minority groups in the region.

When read superficially, the opening chapter of this text tells of a great war between opposing factions. When interpreted as an allegory the esoteric meaning portrays a drama far more significant than any transitory historical event. What is revealed: (1) the progress of the soul's awakening from self-conscious involvements with physical and psychological circumstances to realisation of its true nature as pure consciousness; (2) the challenges commonly confronted during the process; (3) liberating knowledge that removes awareness from all that is suppressive and restrictive.

In these pages I have shared methods and procedures found useful by successful people worldwide. How do I know this? Because I know nature is supported and continues due to inborn principles and laws. The inclination of nature, of life, is in the direction of awakening, unfoldment, creative expression, and the fulfillment of destined ends. We have but to look about us in any natural setting to see this is so. Nature is driven by a powerful force in the direction of function and growth. The Soul of us, the real essence and being of us, is likewise driven in the direction of function and growth. We may attempt to deny the urge, but the urge will persist. We may, in many ways, try to remain unconscious of what is obvious but, sooner or later, we will have to confront the truth.
