Our life journey is an incorporation of energy, and actors, artists, teachers and preachers are the modern shamans whose stories lift us into another dimension to make sense of the monsters, heroes and treasures, we discover on our path. Using traditional and personal story, Gerald Fierst explores alchemy, UFOs and the power of our voices to challenge our assumptions of truth, myth and crazy. What is crazy? Who is crazy? The artist, the guru, the Pope? And what is truth? Science, astrophysics, ancient magic and myth? Followed by Q&A.
