Transcendental Journeys - A Visionary Quest for Freedom

This true story begins with the chilling escape of how the author freed himself from the oppressive communist regime of East Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. Driven by a burning desire for freedom, Torsten E. Klimmer (aka Omananda) risked his life when he was young. He left behind friends and family not knowing that an open secret lies dormant within everyone's heart that, once uncovered, could lead to liberation. In the first chapter of this book, the author describes the reasons for his escape and the resistance movement he was a part of during his former life in the German Democratic Republic. In the second chapter called "Traveling," Omananda discovers the world from a wild backpacker's point of view. In a search of freedom, he explores the USA, Central America, parts of Asia, and India. In the third chapter "Violent Awakening" glimpses of an unknown and magical world open possibilities into non-ordinary states of consciousness that culminate into an unexpected mystical near-death experience and a spiritual awakening.

A wild ride exploring the human psyche! Authentic mystical experiences are a prerequisite to comprehend the deeper meaning of life. Entheogenic, visionary substances are a valid way to access spiritual dimensions. Sacred plants of Mother Earth can speed up the process of evolution when knowing how to use them respectfully. To learn how to commune with these natural plants and fungi can lead to the discovery of our true identity. In order to make conscious choices and to participate in the transformational process of humanity, one must experience a complete perspective shift that updates all priorities and allows access to entirely new skill sets. In this book, the author describes non-ordinary states of consciousness that can be accessed through visionary plants. Omananda transmits insights from other dimensions than we commonly experience in the 3-dimensional realm. The expansion of consciousness, which results from the conscious use of sacred medicine in a spiritual context, is not profane or an illusion. In the best-case scenario, it can be a profound catalyst for lasting change. Self Empowered Experiences in Altered States is the second part of Omananda's Transcendental Journeys that stretch over a period of three decades.
