Stanislav Grove is one of the founders of transpersonal psychology and the International Transpersonal Association. Together with his wife, Christina Grof, he developed holotropic breathing - a unique method of self-awareness, psychotherapy in personal growth. "I decided to test myself in something that I had never done before: to present the results of my research on consciousness in the form of a science fiction novel. My book is different from other examples of this genre in that its actions are tied to events occurring in the world of dreams. These events are not a figment of my imagination - I observed them in others and experienced them myself. In the same way, the influence of these experiences on the characters is not a figment of fiction. logical assumption, but a realistic depiction based on genuine observations"
