I truly wish the author was more known, cause (a part some concepts i don't agree with — distillate always with your own discernment, that's why the 4 stars) this is one of the greatest books I ever read. 😊

I truly suggest it. Go read it. ✨️

It's about Meditation and the unfolding of human potentialities in the future — what we could call "Extra"-human faculties. 🌟

(She had experiences in the ether and her life changed since then, the back cover says!)
