The Journey to the East

What. Was. That.?!
The first half of this adventure was so weird that I was left wondering if HH was dreaming, tripping or actually having these experiences in reality. People come and go, disappear and show up again without real rhyme or reason, and it isn’t really clear what it is that’s being learned during this spiritual journey, since it isn’t at all discussed. The story takes a turn that is a bit more lucid towards the end and HH reaches a realization, which culminates in a spiritual awakening of sorts. Ok. Glad I read it, but not sure why. Do You need to read it? Probably not.
