What if one day you woke up and realized that you’ve been defined so well that you haven’t even dared to question who you are? “… this awareness came from a state of deep quietness. A state beyond thought. A state of no belief. A state of freedom. Freedom to observe what is, as it is.” Much more than simple principles and clichés, The MindChemist is not only a guide through an awakening but also an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. The book takes the reader on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true self by describing the lessons and truths that one young man experienced as he surrendered to a voice within and embarked on his journey of self-exploration. The MindChemist is aimed at awakening and guiding, as well as activating people to seek their own sovereignty and independence, and discover the truth of themselves by themselves. “To learn about yourself from somebody else is naive. Why be a second-hand human? Discover for yourself.’’

When Paul Elias receives a terminal diagnosis, he leaves his physician's office in a fog. Only one thing is clear to him: if he is going to die, he must find someone to watch over his granddaughter, Pearl, who has been in his charge since her drug-addicted father disappeared. Paul decides to take her back to Nysa--both the place where he grew up and the place where he lost his beloved wife under strange circumstances forty years earlier. But when he picks up Pearl from school, the little girl already seems to know of his plans, claiming a woman told her. In Nysa, Paul reconnects with an old friend but is not prepared for the onslaught of memory. And when Pearl starts vanishing at night and returning with increasingly bizarre tales, Paul begins to question her sanity, his own views on death, and the nature of reality itself. In this suspenseful and introspective story from award-winning author Shawn Smucker, the past and the present mingle like opposing breezes, teasing out the truth about life, death, and sacrifice.
