About the Book

A true story which started fifteen years ago in the psychiatric ward of a Military hospital. One night Christopher experiences a powerful vision. Believing he has been divinely chosen to fight the evil of a divided state, Christopher announces his mission to the authorities. They dismiss it as a severe psychotic delusion, make a diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia and, finally, put an end to his months of mental anguish with a course of Electric Shock Therapy. Now, at the turn of the millennium and approaching mid-life, Christopher, despite wealth and success, grapples with renewed depression and a sense of profound meaninglessness. Motivated by a mix of desperation and determination, he harnesses his considerable powers of logic, memory, intuition and creativity - and leads the reader along on his personal quest for understanding. It's a remarkable journey of philosophy, magic, humour, energy and insight, along a series of twists, turns and delightful surprises. In the lands of the ancient Hebrews and Egyptians he asks: "How can the origins of the alphabet help make sense of my life?" Along the way, he also encounters and questions landmark western thinkers: Pythagoras, Descartes, Jung, Hegel and others. Eventually he is lured to the eastern mountain kingdom of Bhutan, where a mysterious meditation tutor and the I Ching lead him to some startling insights - insights that completely change his world, and could change yours! Illustrated throughout with cutting-edge conceptual art, this is a must-read for anyone who has ever wrestled with a sense of meaninglessness, and pondered the greater questions of life. What makes this book unique? - Directly addresses one of the greatest problems of our time - more and more information, but less and less meaning. - In the body, mind and spirit genre (although not in the usual self-help mould), this story comes at a time when more and more people are exploring their spiritual values.

About the Author :
Christopher is a university graduate and member of MENSA. He has published numerous articles published in the press. A South African by birth, he presently lives in Cape Town. Due to the traumatically personal nature of the story he has elected to be known only as Christopher.
