Pallamary &nbsp;takes those with open minds courageous enough to question the illusions &nbsp;that most of us think of as real on an expansive journey that pierces &nbsp;the veil of reality itself.<br>\n</h3>\n<h3>Pallamary's in-depth analysis of human &nbsp;perception, shamanism, visionary states, cognitive neuroscience, plant &nbsp;and animal consciousness, and sacred geometry, as well as the &nbsp;prehistoric roots of our deepest cultural myths not only lay bare the &nbsp;illusory roots of what we have built our failing society on, it provides &nbsp;a detailed map that points the way through the non-sense hall of &nbsp;mirrors that we currently find ourselves trapped in.<br>\n</h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https://www.audible.com/pd/B082MTBRGH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-175503&amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_175503_pd_us\">The Center Of The &nbsp;Universe Is Right Between Your Eyes, But Home Is Where the Heart Is</a>, available on Audible, is &nbsp;Pallamary's thirteenth book, and in it he weaves a convincing tapestry &nbsp;that alternates threads of ancient philosophies and preserved indigenous &nbsp;wisdom with recent discoveries in quantum physics, psychology, and the &nbsp;timeless, persistent archetypes of our subconscious.<br>\n</h3>\n<h3>About the Author<br>\n</h3>\n<p>Author of over a dozen books, Matthew J.
