Gita J Joseph Kazden

In this follow-up to the author's TotIs, Gita, on the brink of a great battle to defend the city she is charged with protecting, feels a sense of futility as she contemplates the coming fratricidal slaughter, unable to justify the bloodshed in the name of victory. She seeks the counsel of her old mentor, Socrates, pleading for his help in finding her way back to her duty and purpose in life. Thus begins a life-changing discussion as Socrates calls upon the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching to show Gita that Einstein was right: our conscious experience of reality is an illusion. Socrates unites ancient wisdom with the findings of modern physics to describe totIs reality, the true reality that is forever beyond our ability to experience. Come along as Socrates, using the insights of these ancient texts, helps Gita meet her destiny by proposing a way to live life in harmony with the contradiction that our experienced reality is a product of our consciousness, while true reality remains unmanifest to that consciousness.
