“I am betting that this book will become an essential reference in the field of spirituality and that it will be widely quoted for its pearls of wisdom, its brilliant metaphors and its dazzling flashes of consciousness.
Dr Olivier Chambon psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

From the mythical beverages described in the founding texts of Eastern religions to the altered states of consciousness of the greatest prophets and the original nature of the Christian Eucharist, Stephan Schillinger explores what Huston Smith, the most influential religious historian of the twentieth century, called “the best-kept secret in history“.
Drawing on the work of American scholars, as well as scientific and historical evidence, the author shares his thoughts on the origin of spirituality and the great religious currents that followed. Rigorously and extensively researched, his demonstration explores groundbreaking questions and hypotheses about the nature of reality and psychedelic experiences that allow access to the expanded states of consciousness he presents as the origin of spiritual feeling.
He reveals the burnt bridges between two shores. One abandoned, that of sacred, psychedelic and entheogenic plants that we rediscover here, in the light of science. And the other, the site of most spiritual traditions and religions, the object of numerous interpretations.

This book is intended for all those who, engaged on the path of the Self or in a spiritual quest, wish to explore their consciousness, the nature of reality, and question what they perceive or know of the world. To those who seek answers to the famous questions that have been left unanswered for millennia.

Passionate about spirituality and psychology, Stephan Schillinger is a writer and a practitioner in helping relationships. He offers a personalised accompaniment, nourished by more than 20 years of spiritual journey. In parallel to this personal journey, after a first life as a high-level sportsman until the age of 21, when he participated in his last world championship, he began a career in finance in 2005, becoming a wealth manager in France and then in Switzerland. For more than 12 years, he has accompanied business leaders and celebrities in their problems related to the management of their wealth and the resulting change of life, but also in the letting go necessary for this. Over the years, he noticed that the spiritual and psychological dimension was central and inseparable from the problems for which he was consulted. In 2017, he began a profound and radical change of life, in order to pursue this spiritual quest in greater depth, through a long journey (internal and external) and numerous experiences throughout the world, around shamanism, altered states of consciousness, meditation, fasting, and sacred plants (Peru, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Thailand, Canada). Stephan accompanies, individually or collectively, those who become aware of being "on the path", and who wish to begin the healing of their wounds, a process of inner evolution, a profound transformation, or simply an exploration of the Self. Today he is a writer, a practitioner in helping relationships and a lecturer. He puts his different lives (sportsman, leader, writer, mystic and seeker) to the benefit of a wider public, through a humanist approach based on listening, questioning and benevolence, in the form of individual consultations and courses.
