About this listen

Across Egypt, Tibet, and West Africa, humanity has written maps for the soul’s final journey.
In this episode, we open the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Tibetan Bardo Thödol, and the Yoruba Ifá verses of Òrun, tracing how three civilizations envisioned death—not as an ending, but as transformation.
Make yourself a cup of tea and prepare! We will cover the journey of the soul after death! And contemplate the nature of reality itself.
This is a journey through sacred manuals of remembrance, morality, and awakening—where every culture seems to believe in the same truth: death is the continuation of consciousness.
