Acknowledgements
I wish to pay tribute to my late parents, Koert and Niesje, who sowed the seeds of existentialist enquiry into my youthful, but receptive mind. I would also like to show my gratitude to my dear wife, Patricia, and to my wonderful daughters, Nadja, Sonja and Anais, for their support and encouragement throughout the years while this book was being written.

I am indebted to the trailblazing work on consciousness of William Irwin (Bill) Thompson, whose Lindsfarne talks I continue to find vital and transformative.
My family and friends have always non-judgementally supported me through all the vissitudes of life, including the writing of this book, for which I am eternally grateful.
