Here is a precise description of our strange time, whose heroes become politicians, office fairies, bloggers who build financial schemes, shamans, false messiahs, and even homeless animals. There is mysticism—one that, as our heroes encounter it, puts them on the path of spiritual transformation. There is contact with the refined life of nature, and even an opening into the spiritual world, where, in the best traditions of satire, our characters cleanse their karma by rethinking their delusions. This book is about each of us—how to stay an adult while keeping a child inside. And most importantly, it’s about the fact that life is not the beginning, and death is not the end. And only each person’s personal decision determines what this life will be for us—a fall, or an advent.
