Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLS
