The Center of the Universe by Matthew Pallamary, Chapter by Chapter

*INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD* *AWARD WINNING FINALIST*

Based  on a lifetime of research into shamanism, visionary states, the  evolution of written communication and the roots of storytelling,  award-winning author, editor, and shamanic explorer Matthew J. Pallamary  takes those with open minds courageous enough to question the illusions  that most of us think of as real on an expansive journey that pierces  the veil of reality itself.

Pallamary's in-depth analysis of human  perception, shamanism, visionary states, cognitive neuroscience, plant  and animal consciousness, and sacred geometry, as well as the  prehistoric roots of our deepest cultural myths not only lay bare the  illusory roots of what we have built our failing society on, it provides  a detailed map that points the way through the non-sense hall of  mirrors that we currently find ourselves trapped in.

The Center Of The  Universe Is Right Between Your Eyes, But Home Is Where the Heart Is, available on Audible, is  Pallamary's thirteenth book, and in it he weaves a convincing tapestry  that alternates threads of ancient philosophies and preserved indigenous  wisdom with recent discoveries in quantum physics, psychology, and the  timeless, persistent archetypes of our subconscious.
