I am not exactly sure why I carry it as I have read it a couple of times.

As fewer made the journey…we forgot how to find the Otherworld…Though we often think of materialism as the drive to consume, purchase, and accumulate stuff, these are really just the symptoms of an underpinning rationalist belief that nothing exists beyond the physical…

This is a book yes…but it’s really an Oracle.…
