Into the Amazon in Search of Truth

By Joel R. Harris

Artist and musician, Joel Harris, should have been satisfied living his dreams. But he found himself feeling distracted and unsatisfied by modern American life. He wanted those elusive answers to life's questions - answers he had been looking for his whole life - from his childhood as a Mormon, through his service in the Marine Corps, and through his travels to Europe and Asia. Above all else - he wanted to find TRUTH. His book is a personal narrative of his search for truth. It is an account of a journey that took him into a small Shipibo village in Peru on the edge of the Amazon Rain Forest. There he worked with plant medicines and shamanic healers, encountered his deepest fears, looked into the darkest corners of his being and discovered TRUTH.

I am enjoying the message found within the pages of this personal journal. I thought it would be a travel book but it is more about the author awakening into a whole new reality, transforming into a different person with a different understanding about his life. A lot of great information to reflect on and think about.
