Ultimate Conclusion: From the Self to God

At the conclusion of this exceptional journey, the book calls for the completion of consciousness and existence, where the human being merges with the universe in a single praise. When the soul understands its true nature, the barrier between the reader and the book, between humanity and existence, between "He" and "I" disappears.

This book is an invitation to every reader to embark on a deep journey of reflection in the mirror of the universe, to remember that everything in this existence is a word that was spoken in the beginning and then forgotten.
