The reader is invited into the core of spiritual and scientific debate; to go on a journey of life, death and transcendence. Possible answers to urgent questions like: ‘Are we all connected?’ and ‘What is spiritual enlightenment?’ are examined with extensive arguments and detailed evidence on a tour of eastern philosophy, shamanism, quantum mechanics, consciousness, meditation, psychedelic therapy, positive psychology and more. The myths of our individual and tribal identities are dismantled while delving into the meaning of existence to uncover a deep remembering of our true nature. The misconception that we are aliens confronted by a hostile universe is debunked and our true reality as one flowing process with all of nature is revealed.

The belief that we exist as independent selves, separate and autonomous from the rest of the world can be useful but is ultimately a detrimental and painful delusion that allows us to harm the planet and other people. Ayahuasca in Peru, storytelling, theoretical physics and dreams are explored in a search for meaning and truth to reveal alternative ways of loving, feeling and thinking.
