Interpretive text
The book investigates the notion of passing from one life to the other. Metaphysical concepts are explored. Different materials are used to signify metaphors for transformation and change. The book addresses the following issues: the movement from one place to another; from the conscious to the unconscious; and from a physical state to one of immateriality.
