Why Does Reality Exist?

How magical your existence is to be alive and reading this line before you... Why does Reality Exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? What happens to you when you die? Through the lens of an altered state of consciousness, a mystic and practicing psychonaut takes a visionary look at life's most magical age-old questions.

As you journey through the pages and open your mind to the wonder of existence, you'll find that the distinction between "me" and "you", "delusion" and "reality", "death" and "birth" becomes increasingly blurred... It is the author's hope that this book helps the reader better integrate the invisible knowledge learned in these "other worlds" upon "return" to this-worldly realm. The purpose of the book is to help provide a guidemap to those who may be undergoing spiritual awakening, validate the glimpses to those who have been "there", and share the wonders of mystical experience to those altogether new to this journey.
