Creation myths from twelve differenct cultures, plus three modern physics cosmologies, give the reader insight into issues of polarity, different dimensions, kunalini experience, invisible forces, and opens consciousness to the creative power within each of us.
Myths are seen as deep cultural perceptions, which may be true or illusory and can be changed. The book suggests a process of finding universal themes in ancient and native global myths, as well as modern physics models, in order to arrive at gorunded basic vantages.

"Rowena presents us with an astonishing range of creation myths as an ontological study of our relationship to the creator. -- The Golden Hummingbird Ltd
"This unusual book paves the road to understanding the Source of Our Being. It is visionary by nature, because myths touch more than one level of human existence. They go beyond the physical, emotional, intellectual, and social level to access the spiritual knowledge which is universally shared by mankind. Beautiful line drawings assist in tuning the reader to the forgotten Beginning.
"Rowena Pattee Kryder's book will inspire a wide range of readers—from mythologists, historians of religion, philosophers, psycholgists to any seeker of the underlying meaning of life."
Dr. Ruth-Inge Heinze, University of California, author of Shamans of the 20th Century and Trance and Healing in Southeast Asia Today. --Preface
