“What is going to happen to us when we die?” “Are we alone in the universe?” These are amongst the most compelling questions we confront in life, and must at death. Responses to which may be gestured at by innovative inquiry into far-out phenomena, such as those contained within the parapsychological, and profound provinces of the psychedelic experience" - Pascal Michael
