Beware, you've entered the territory of hard-core philosophers, politically incorrect misfits and advanced meditators. For beginners, reading this is perhaps a rather disenchanting path to the absolute truth. It should be noted a few chapters are the equivalence of a socio-political reality-check from a psycho-spiritual perspective... So, if you enjoy a decent mind-fuck that'll leave you with a few sobering thoughts, please download for free before purchase.Please be advised that some of the content may be extremely disturbing to the faint-hearted. It contains honest/satirical comments, coarse language, theological thought, politics, consciousness engineering, abuse, murder, death, conspiracies, terra-forming and souls trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth.
