Title: Beyond the Mirror: The Silvering of the Soul Genre: Philosophy / Spiritual / Non-Fiction (or Psychology) Tagline: The truth isn't what you see; it's what makes the reflection possible. Blurb: We are taught that "seeing is believing," but our eyes are the greatest liars we own. Every truth we encounter comes in two forms: The Wrapped Fact and The Raw Sense. We spend our lives staring at the "Front"-the reflection tied with a pretty ribbon of pride, fear, or ego. We judge, we react, and we build our world based on these gift-wrapped illusions. But what happens when the mirror is ripped from the wall? When the glass shatters and the ribbons snap, we are left with the Reality Shock. Beyond the polished image lies the "Silvering"-the gray, unpolished raw sense of history, religion, and the human mind. Beyond the Mirror is a journey through the "why" behind the "what." From the survival mechanisms of our brains to the sacred ribbons of religious history, this book challenges you to stop mourning the broken reflection and start studying the wall. It's time to look deeper. It's time to see what's behind the glass.
