    About this ebook

    A non-fiction transformational personal growth book on how to unplug and connect to yourself and loved ones, mixed with magical realism fiction. 

     

    Why are we living in such crazy times? 
    Why are there so many challenges at once involving the whole planet?
    When will this bizarre time really end?
    What is a rational animal? 
    What is a thinking organism?
    From where does the "thinking" and "rational" part of this flesh come from? 
    Who gives the flesh the ability to make art, write poetry, love?
    What should be the goal of humanity?
    Why is all this happening? 

     

    You will find those questions and much more in the book. 
    I do not supply "caught" fish. I offer bait & hook and give fishing instructions.

      DEDICATION:

      To two of my favorite bookaholic people, that are no longer physically in the game arena:

      my father, Adão Medeiros Paz and Louise Lynn Hay.

      This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

      I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.

      Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
