Abstract

The thesis reflects my personal journey to the hidden worlds, located in the realm of the inner space. These worlds are accessed by alteration of the consciousness, which travels nonlinearly and expresses itself in various ways, presented as separate zones in the book. The zones are related to the six intermediate states in Tibetan Buddhism - birth and life, meditation, dreams, time of death, second stage of the death process and rebirth. The intention of the thesis is to take the reader on a journey and make him simultaneously a participant and observer. Different styles of writing are incorporated in order to place the reader straight in the map of the inner space. The thesis illustrates the idea of the multidimensional body of the future, which has subtle layers and selves, existing in different dimensions. Death, rebirth and eventually immortality are part of the construct of this body. The art works included in the thesis explore the hidden worlds and give the reader an idea about their content.
