This book challenges the dominant paradigm of reality, which claims that the equations of physics open the only window through which we may view the true nature of reality. Acting on the possibility that this paradigm is false, the book proceeds to explore, find, and evaluate alternate views, focusing on developing an understanding of who and what we are in the greater scheme of the real dimensions of life. In this search the reader will travel beyond physics to the worlds offered by those whose views have been regularly condemned and suppressed as worthless, mystical, and even thought of as dangerous. Together with the author, the reader will negotiate a way through such dangers by means of a magical amulet, called by the author simply the clinical approach.
