“Who Are You People?”

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 Today, Jay Stratton’s long-awaited new book, Out of the Shadows (William Morrow, 2026), arrived on my doorstep.

About Me

Joseph M. Felser, Ph.D.

Author

“The individual search is the essential form of religious practice. The process of inquiry is more important than any particular answer.“

The only true philosophy is one that acknowledges and fosters those extraordinary breakthrough moments in which we transcend our apparent limitations and our customary ways of perceiving. We must seek to heal the rift between the rational and the magical sides of life. May this site be an oasis for all fellow seekers!

“Felser peels through layers of belief and mythology to reveal nothing less than the underlying truth of reality creation.”

Author of Conversations with Seth and What a Coincidence!
