Sitchin shows that the end is anchored in the events of the beginning, and once you learn of this beginning, it is possible to foretell the future.

Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds?
