The purpose of this book is to open your eyes to the realisation that you are a spiritual being in a physical world. Just like the physical world has its rules and regulations so does the spiritual one. One has to come first before the other. The order of process from our perspective is from natural to spiritual, but from the order of origin it's spiritual to physical. You have been placed here to discover that what you see physically is only a blindfold to the reality of what's behind it all. What's behind cannot be seen with the physical eyes but can only be seen with spiritual eyes. This book bridges that gap!
