The extraordinary memoirs of an ordinary man. Jan's story follows a different arc than the familiar one of "bad childhood, abused drugs till hitting rock bottom then quit to find new purpose". Here instead is the acceptance of reality as being "...stranger than we can imagine." (J.B.S. Haldane), the intelligent use of drugs as tools for exploring consciousness, and interaction with the Universe at the levels of intuition, dreams and mystical experience. Extremely candid and eye opening, the message is challenging to some cultural mores, while at the same time optimistic and encouraging in a world often viewed as hopeless.
