About the Book

"I lay down because of a very painful 'knot' in my stomach. The pain became so intense that I curled up in a fetal position to endure it. I cried out something like: 'Holy mother, help me!' I have no idea where that came from.

Suddenly, I 'stood' at the beginning of a round tunnel, like the undulating inside of a ringworm. I heard a pulsating hum and saw three scenes in succession.

[...]

Then I realized that I might be in the 'tunnel with light at the end,' an archetypal image for dying! I recoiled from it, because I didn't feel like dying yet."

The memory of this experience prompted the author to undertake self-inquiry. After nearly three years, this led to a unity and enlightenment experience. In this book he describes his observations as a self-inquirer and life coach, hoping to offer support to readers interested in personal development.
