A Separate Reality: Nine days on a secret island that turned my world view upside down
What if there was an island that is not on any map - and where people have abilities that we can only dream of?
Richard Neubersch receives an invitation to a place that nobody knows about. He spends nine days in the midst of a hidden community that lives in harmony with nature, love and the powers of the spirit. What he experiences there not only challenges his view of sexuality, relationships and freedom - it shakes the foundations of his world view.
Mind reading, time manipulation, a radically free society - and a new way of living
This journey changes everything.
But what if what Richard has experienced is far more than just a story?
A novel that inspires - and won't let you go.

I can honestly say that A Separate Reality is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It starts with a premise that immediately piques your curiosity an uncharted island, an invitation shrouded in mystery, and a protagonist who willingly leaves the known world behind. But what begins as a journey into the unknown quickly unfolds into something far deeper: an exploration of the very fabric of reality itself.
Richard Neubersch writes with such conviction, vulnerability, and raw emotional presence that it's hard to believe this book is labeled fiction. Every moment on the island feels rich with insight. The community he describes is nothing short of extraordinary people who live in harmony with nature, who treat love and sexuality as sacred, who communicate with energy rather than words, and who operate in a time-fluid existence that challenges everything we believe about cause and effect.
But what truly sets this book apart is how it feels. The sensations, the emotional resonance, the internal awakenings. I found myself questioning my own assumptions about life, relationships, time, and consciousness. I had to put the book down multiple times just to process what I was reading. It’s not just thought-provoking, it’s soul-provoking.
This isn’t a typical novel. It’s an initiation into a different worldview. It’s a glimpse into a parallel way of being that’s not only inspiring, but also strangely familiar like something I’ve always known but forgot. I finished the last page with tears in my eyes and a strange sense of peace in my heart.
If you're even a little bit curious about human potential, consciousness, or spiritual transformation, A Separate Reality is a must-read. It's a story that dares to ask: What if we’ve had it wrong all along?

What if the impossible was simply unpracticed? That’s the question that lingered in my mind long after finishing A Separate Reality. Richard Neubersch doesn’t just invite us into a fictional world, he breaks open the walls of what we believe to be real and possible.
The story begins innocently enough: a mysterious invitation to a secret island. But what unfolds is a full-blown expedition into the edges of human consciousness and capacity. The people on the island live by principles that feel radical in the best way telepathy, time fluidity, collective love, deep spiritual intimacy and yet, Neubersch renders them so clearly, so compassionately, that they feel not only believable, but right.
I was deeply moved by how the book approaches freedom not the superficial kind we associate with doing whatever we want, but a deeper, soul-level liberation from fear, ego, and conditioned limitation. It’s the kind of freedom that allows for radical love, spiritual insight, and emotional authenticity.
What impressed me most was the way Neubersch seamlessly weaves philosophy, psychology, mysticism, and narrative together. The plot is compelling, but the real journey is internal. I found myself reflecting constantly on how I live, love, and engage with the world.
This book reminded me that another world isn’t just possible, it might already be here, waiting for us to remember it. Bold, brave, and bursting with vision, A Separate Reality is a book I will return to again and again, especially when I need to remember who I truly am.

Reading A Separate Reality felt like waking up from a long, dull dream into a vibrant, electric awareness. I came in expecting an adventure story and left with a completely restructured inner landscape. This book is not just a novel, it’s a spiritual experience, wrapped in poetic storytelling.
Richard’s nine days on the hidden island are filled with wonder, mystery, and revelation. The way the islanders live with openness, empathy, unfiltered emotional presence, and mystical abilities is not just intriguing; it's inspiring. There is no hierarchy, no coercion, no power games, only conscious living in its purest form. These people embody a level of freedom that feels both alien and deeply natural.
I found myself challenged and even confronted by some of the ideas especially around sexuality, telepathic communication, and energetic exchange. But that discomfort gave way to curiosity, then awe, and eventually a sense of remembering. Because at its core, this book is about reconnecting to something ancient and true: the innate magic of being alive and aware.
Neubersch writes with the heart of a seeker and the clarity of someone who’s actually lived what he writes. Whether this story is fact, fiction, or something in between doesn’t really matter because the impact is real. I cried. I reflected. I felt something shift inside me.
This is a book for those who are ready to see beyond the veil. To question their assumptions. To open themselves to something radically beautiful. A spiritual wake-up disguised as fiction and one I’m profoundly grateful to have read.

I can only describe A Separate Reality as a transformative experience in book form. From the first chapter, I was pulled into a world that feels like a mirror of our own but brighter, freer, more conscious. Richard Neubersch has done something incredibly rare: he’s created a fictional story that acts as a vehicle for profound spiritual insight.
The island he visits is a place we all secretly long for untouched by fear, rich in connection, and governed not by rules but by awareness. The inhabitants aren’t “characters” in the usual sense; they feel like archetypes of what humanity could become if we lived from the heart rather than the head.
This book taught me about time in a new way, how it can stretch, bend, and dissolve when we’re deeply present. It opened my mind to the possibility of shared consciousness and reminded me that love doesn’t have to be possessive or limited. Most of all, it invited me to remember what true freedom feels like: the kind that doesn’t come from rebellion but from deep alignment with who we are.
The writing is lyrical, yet grounded. Philosophical, yet accessible. Every page pulses with authenticity and a desire to wake readers up to their true potential.
If you’ve ever felt like you were born for something more, something magical, mysterious, and deeply human, this book will feel like coming home. I cannot recommend it enough. It is the kind of book that doesn’t just stay on your shelf, it stays in your soul.

I’ll be honest, what first pulled me toward A Separate Reality was the cover. There was something about it that felt mysterious and inviting, like it was holding a secret just for me. I’m glad I trusted that instinct, because what I found inside was far more beautiful than any image could show.
Richard Neubersch’s story of a hidden island, Libidos, is full of wonder mind reading, time bending, self-healing, but what stayed with me wasn’t the abilities. It was the way the people there lived. They were free in a way I’ve never seen in real life: free from shame, free from fear, and trust completely.
That’s the lesson I walked away with, freedom isn’t about escaping to another place, it’s about changing how we see and treat each other here, now. We can choose to drop the walls we build around ourselves. We can choose openness. We can choose love over control.
This book is worth reading, not just because it’s imaginative, but because it quietly dares you to live differently when you put it down.
Richard, if you’re reading this, more people need to see this book. It’s worth it. Do whatever you can to get it into more hands, because the world could use this reminder of what’s possible.

Sometimes we don’t even realize we’re living by rules we never agreed to, until a story like A Separate Reality makes us stop and notice them.
Richard Neubersch’s novel begins simply: an unexpected invitation to a hidden island. But once the narrator arrives, it’s clear this is no ordinary place. People here live without the limits we consider “normal.” They’ve built a society free from fear and shame, where connection is deep, love is honest, and abilities like telepathy and self-healing are just part of daily life.
The big lesson for me? We spend so much time adjusting ourselves to fit the world when maybe we should be adjusting the world to fit us. The people on this island aren’t “special” because of magic tricks; they’re special because they decided to live on their own terms, no matter what the rest of the world thinks.
That’s a reminder I’m carrying with me: the rules aren’t set in stone. Many of them are just habits we’ve accepted without question. And if they’re not serving us, we can change them.
Richard Neubersch has created a story that entertains, yes, but also gives you a little shove toward freedom. And that, in my opinion, is the best kind of book.

Some books entertain you. Others change you. Separate Reality is the second kind.
From the moment Richard steps onto that mysterious island, you can feel that this isn’t just another adventure, it’s an invitation. For nine days, he lives among people who can do things we only dream of read minds, bend time, live in complete freedom. But the real magic isn’t in the powers, it’s in how they see life, love, and each other.
Reading this book made me stop and think: What if we’ve been living with blinders on? What if there’s a way to live where fear, shame, and limits just… don’t exist?
Richard Neubersch doesn’t just tell a story, he hands you a key. Whether you see the island as real or symbolic, the questions it raises are unforgettable. You’ll find yourself rethinking what’s possible long after you put it down.
I’m grateful to the author for writing something so bold, so thought-provoking, and so full of heart. If this is just the beginning, I can’t wait to see what worlds he takes us to next.

Some books give you an escape. A Separate Reality gives you something rarer, a truth you can carry into your own life.
As I turned the pages, I kept thinking, we might not have telepathy or time manipulation, but we can choose to live with more openness, kindness, and trust. We can break free from the habits and beliefs that keep us small. The island may be fictional, but the way its people live is not beyond our reach.
The lesson is simple but powerful: freedom starts inside us. If we want a better world, we begin by changing how we treat ourselves and each other.
That’s why A Separate Reality is more than just a novel, it’s a mirror. It asks: What if you stopped living by everyone else’s rules? What would your life look like then?
For that reminder and for daring to share such a vision I’m deeply grateful to Richard Neubersch.
