This book is a three-part journey into the rabbit hole we call the nature of reality. Its ultimate destination is a plausible, living validation of transcendence. Each of its three parts is like a turn of a spiral, exploring recurring ideas through the prisms of religious myth, truth, and belief, respectively. With each turn, the book seeks to convey a more nuanced and complete understanding of the many facets of transcendence. Part I puts forward the controversial notion that many religious myths are actually true, and not just allegorically so. Part II argues that our own inner storytelling plays a surprising role in creating the seeming concreteness of things and the tangibility of history. Part III suggests, in the form of a myth, how deeply ingrained belief systems create the world in which we live. The three themes, myth, truth, and belief, flow into and interpenetrate each other throughout the book.

The book doesn’t merely scratch the surface; it dives into the heart of topics that are often left tangled in esoteric jargon or overly simplistic analogies. Kastrup strikes an exquisite balance between intellectual rigor and accessible storytelling, making this a deeply engaging and thought-provoking read.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s something more to the myths, stories, and symbols we take for granted—or wondered how they connect to our own experiences of reality—this book will speak to you in ways you didn’t think possible. It’s a transformative read, and I’m grateful for the clarity and insight it has given me.
