““After the first ten or so books, I wrote one called "In Search of Divinity", where the shift happened, the tone of that book was so radically different from my already published more academic-style work, which had already established me as a neuroscientist, that I considered publishing it under a pseudonym, to prevent it from jeopardizing my scholarly standing - but that work felt like homecoming to my soul, so I chose to continue my legacy in that newly awakened tone, and then on, my reliance on secondhand research declined drastically, except for when I required occasional empirical data. Had I stayed within the narrow confines of facts and figures, in fear of being shunned by academics, the human race would've never received the vast multicultural, multidisciplinary, multidimensional Naskar Canon.””
