Transcendental Journeys (ePub)

Transcendental Journeys - A Visionary Quest for Freedom is a combination of autobiographical content, exotic travel stories, shamanic journeys, and philosophical views. The author, who came to some unexpected, yet rational conclusions during the three decades of his travels, presents unconventional information in this artistic and entertaining story. 

Torsten E. Klimmer aka Omananda realized, after his dangerous escape from East Germany, that physical freedom was not enough to liberate him from the paralyzing conditionings of his mind. He intuitively knew that there is more to life than he perceived or had been told. He began traveling and was initiated in Asia into an ancient mysticism. This mysterious encounter irreversibly changed the course of his life and set the tone for gaining deeper knowledge in non-ordinary states.

The educational and entertaining information serves as supportive evidence to defend Mother Earth from a contemporary global meme in which we, as a species, seem to have lost contact with reality. As a result of our prioritized, and commonly agreed-upon, monetary values that likely result from erroneous materialistic world-views, the human heart and our beautiful host planet suffer a great deal. Endless profit, insatiable greed, temporary gain, and senseless exploitation seem to justify all means. This places us, as a species, in a position that looks as if we have lost the sacred knowledge of our cosmic heritage and divine destiny. Surely, most of us have the innate ability to fully bloom into the brilliance of our radiant, true nature. But we don't feel well when we are purposefully misguided and get increasingly addicted to toxic stuff that bombards us from multiple angles, on mental and physical levels. 

Many of us scream for change, but most of us look for it on the outside, where we can get overwhelmed with so many possibilities and too much information. Overload! Life in the technological age is becoming increasingly complex. It’s not so easy to know why, what, or how to transform into a more happier and joyful cosmic being. Confusion, lack of time, misdirected focus and scrambled attention often lead us to give up before thoroughly investigating who we are, or what our actual life goals and deeper purposes might be. Even though we are all born wondering about that! Perhaps it is not too late to change, one person at a time. But are you ready? If not yet, reading this book will nonetheless inspire and entertain you. But if you are ready to dive deeper into the nature of reality and explore your authentic self, this book offers much useful material to work with.

A deeper understanding builds throughout this story. In the final chapter, the author elucidates easy-to-practice, non-religious, yet powerful, spiritual methods and exercises for personal transformation, with helpful hints and suggestions. Torsten also shares his knowledge on the subject of drugs and their abuse. As a medical professional, he clarifies in simple terms for anyone, but especially those who should be all ears, even if they only drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, why what is considered normal or legal is not necessarily safe. For people with addiction issues and anyone interested in freeing themselves, from internal and external struggles, this book holds great value.
