About the book

Donald Shimoda is a former messiah who quits his job of performing miracles to become a barnstorming pilot in the American Midwest. He meets Richard, a fellow aviator, and teaches him that the physical world is a holographic projection created by thought and perception. Through the Handbook for the Advanced Soul, Shimoda demonstrates how to walk on water, materialize objects, and heal the sick by recognizing that reality is a choice. The narrative focuses on the technical mastery of consciousness and the rejection of victimhood in a flexible universe.

This book serves readers interested in the mechanics of manifestation and the philosophy of subjective idealism. It appeals to those who want to examine the relationship between belief and physical experience. Readers walk away with a set of mental exercises designed to dissolve perceived limitations and a framework for taking total responsibility for their circumstances. It provides a blueprint for treating life as a cinematic construction that an individual can edit or exit at any time through focused intent.
