An excellent reading. A spoiler how to attend nirvana. In every paragraph a new perspective of or world is revealed. We need to escape or present and this book is the "how to".
A must read book.

Ask your soul.. what are most you afraid of?
Which is your ultimate fear that render you oblivious of real truth?
Reading the book you are going to experience an esoteric travel that, in the end, will guide you to face what you should have already dealt with. The power lies there.
Highly recommended to anyone genuinely interested.
