Extended description

About twenty years ago, my father died of lung cancer at the age of 55. It was followed by a series of premature deaths of my closest friends and other unfortunate events. I lived with it the best I could. I did what had to be done and thought about other things. Like everybody else.
In 2001 I myself had a short “blackout” near the summit of Bjelasica, a mountain in Montenegro, and after that I finally wondered... I became more interested in both science and religion and started reading all kinds of books about life as a natural phenomenon, death, life after death… I carefully studied and analyzed everything scientists, psychologists, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus… had to say about these subjects; thought about them myself; and, after years of research, The Sound of a Hand “appeared”.

In short, this is a book about consciousness, knowledge, life, and death; about my own search for that which lies behind words.
The Sound… introduces a unique way of thinking and looking at “things”, and it is very likely that some readers will find the ideas and conclusions presented in this book disturbing or, perhaps, even irritating. Interestingly though, so far my experience has been that this applies to both religious people and atheists. And, as far as I am concerned, it is a very good thing – I must have got it right.
Some parts of the book may seem a bit negative or “heavy” but do not give it up – this is not a pessimistic book. Read it carefully, with an open mind, and eventually everything will come to its place.
