Hijacked is the fifth book in the Lifelight series-and a teaching about what we do with our minds when we need a break but don't know how to rest in a way that truly restores us. Through the grounded guidance of Mrs. Loon, readers learn that hijacking our minds isn't random or "bad"-it's often an attempt to escape discomfort, pressure, or overwhelm when we've lost touch with Source. This book introduces a key distinction: some hijacking is healthy and temporary-a brief mental break that's easy to return from. Other hijacking is much harder to come back from because it is designed to hold our attention. When we rely on those forms of hijacking to escape or cope, we can slide into habits that feel soothing in the moment but gradually disconnect us from ourselves, our relationships, and what matters most. At its core, Hijacked is about freedom. It teaches readers to fully live their life experience on the surface without falling victim to compulsive escapes-to use hijacking intentionally rather than unconsciously, and to come back to Source when they need steadiness, rest, and perspective. That shift leads to better choices, healthier habits, and a stronger connection to life. In the wider Lifelight curriculum, this book also becomes a springboard for teaching about modern technology-especially social media and AI-and how these tools can amplify hijacking by pulling attention, reinforcing mind-made stories, and activating our attachment drive. Written for kids and teens-and used in families, classrooms, and group programs-this story helps readers understand hijacking and make wiser choices with technology and attention.The goal isn't fear or avoidance. It's discernment: understanding the effects so readers can make better choices, protect their attention, and stay connected to what's real beneath the noise.
