Philosophy of Transformation: Baptism and Beyond
This chapter examines the parallels between baptism and the shamanic experience of death and rebirth, grounding the discussion in René Descartes' epistemological contributions.

The conversation further delves into the necessity of confession, the state of aporia, and the transformative spiritual journey that fosters authentic engagement with knowledge and existence.
