One evening back in November 2025, I felt bored. So bored, in fact, that I asked AI to compile a list of philosophy questions for me to ponder. As I thought about and wrote my answers to them, it occurred to me that I had a lot to say on certain topics! This may not come as a surprise to those who know me well, but it came as a surprise to me that I could think about the questions of existence itself in the depth at which I found myself answering and asking even more questions. The entire premise of the book surrounds the soul and its eternal fate. How do we end up there? How do we talk about the soul’s existence outside of linear time? With great difficulty. However, it had the makings of a decent idea for a book, so I put together my first few ideas, parked them for a month and spent a lot of the month of December putting proverbial pen to paper. This is a project that requires a certain mood from me, so it’s not something I can dip into whenever I have some free time. I’ve organised it in such a way that there are so many ideas to explore, the entire book could take me a few years to write and refine. I write best in this genre when I have solitude. That’s hard to come by so bear with me!
