What is consciousness?
Is it an idea?
An experience?
A way of being in the world?
Through a free-flowing dialogue between Yao and the Seeker, this book seeks neither to persuade nor to teach.
It invites.
Through Jung, Jesus, Plato, Trinh Xuan Thuan, the shadow, presence, artificial intelligence and the great questions of existence, a quest unfolds, step by step.
A quest that leads not to greater certainty… but to a way of seeing.
For perhaps consciousness does not grow by adding more light.
It grows by gradually removing what kept the light from entering.
At the end of this journey, a discovery emerges with disarming simplicity:
We spend our lives believing that we are creating our work.
But what if, in reality…
It is our work that is creating us?
This book offers no definitive answers.
It opens up a space.
A space where everyone can continue their own quest, at their own pace, without giving up who they are.
For perhaps…
Originality means returning to the origin.
“A cathedral is not built to showcase the architect’s genius. It is built to remind each of us that within us lies a space greater than ourselves.”
