The Man Who Awoke is a science fiction novel by Laurence Manning.
It was initially serialised in five parts during 1933 in Wonder Stories magazine.
It concerns the story of a man who puts himself to sleep for 5,000 years at a time and his ensuing adventures as he tries to make sense of the world he finds each time he wakes.

 REVIEWS: Science Wonder Stories - May, 1930
The man with the metal mask had been one of the sleepers of the City himself, until he was awakened out of his "perfect world" and given the task of caring for the sleepers and maintaining the machines.
Manning's co-author for "The City of the Living Dead" was Fletcher Pratt, who had originally found work with Gernsback as a translator of German sf stories.
Manning and Pratt were trying to find a reason why these people were so advanced that they created a machine that made their lives in the real world obsolete.

 Genesis - the creation of mankind.
The creationists are primarily those who hold a fundamentalist view of the Bible, and based on that view they believe the world is 6,000 years old.
In a recent message (June 1999) Jesus indicated that man was created by God about 70 million years ago, and that the fossil evidence that indicates evolution is correct in as much as after the fall man rapidly declined to close to being an animal.
If we accept that man has a soul that survives death, and is the only creature in our world to be so blessed, it matters little whether the mortal body evolved or was created instantly.

 New Neural Pathways Formed in Man Who 'Awoke' After 19 Years - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today
Explain to interested patients that in this one-in-300-million case, a man who was in a minimally conscious state regained consciousness and limited control of motor function after 19 years.
They conducted diffusion tensor imaging studies in both Wallis and in a 24-year-old man who had been in a minimally conscious state with no signs of change six years after a car accident, and compared their white matter integrity with that of 20 normal controls.
The investigators found that in both patients, there was widespread alteration of diffusion and decreased anisotropy in the damaged white matter, and that in Wallis' case the findings of white matter damage remained unchanged before the first exam, conducted eight months after he first regained consciousness, and a second study conducted 18 months later.

 Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Man Extraordinarie
Reborn were individual self-consciousness and the conviction that man's life was worthy of study, could be understood, and should be approached as an art.
These ideas challenged the religious dogma that dominated the Middle Ages, such as that man's earthly life is merely to redeem himself from his sinful nature, so that he may enter the next and "perfect" world.
Thus, Leonardo was among a new circle of intellects who held faith as a theoretical form of "knowledge" subservient to or made obsolete by knowledge based on empirical evidence; i.e., on reason.

 Push
The Lord explained to the man that he had to push against the rock with all his might.
Seeing that the man was showing signs of discouragement, the adversary decided it was the ideal time to enter the picture by placing negative thoughts into the man’s weary mind.
Thus, giving the man the impression that the task was an impossible one and that he was a total failure, these thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. He then began to ask himself the question, "Why am I killing myself over this?
