What if you’re no longer willing to accept ignorance as reality?
What if the longing for liberation is greater than any fear of change?
In Come, Peter looks back on his journey into the mystery of being. Triggered by surreal experiences and the nagging intuition that things are not as they seem, he begins an uncompromising exploration of his own lived experience. In doing so, he questions everything that shapes this experience: perception, subjectivity, self-images, belief systems, and the laws of nature.
Along the way, he encounters Ho, an enigmatic companion of relentless clarity. With dry humor, Ho exposes every self-deception and lifts the weight from the search. With pointed questions, hidden clues, and seemingly impossible tasks, Ho leads Peter to the limits of what can be thought, felt, and experienced—and beyond.
Not only are time, space, and physicality unsettled, but so too are Peter’s inner images and metaphors, which had long provided him with orientation. To meet Peter where he stands, Ho engages these images and shifts their meaning. Thus, Mysteria as a world-spanning realm, threads of reality, and the Master Weaver become aids on a path to the end of illusion. Only there does Peter realize what his true challenge is.
Behind the narrated story unfolds a profound, experience-based exploration of consciousness, perception, separation, freedom, and responsibility.
Come is neither a classic novel nor a spiritual guidebook. Free of dogma, master cults, and esoteric baggage, the book opens a space in which insight is not taught but lived.
Come and the Althar Material
Come is a natural companion to the Althar Material.
It follows Peter as he encounters and lives through many of Althar’s core insights from the perspective of an uncompromising spiritual misfit.
Come – To the End of Illusion is the self-contained first volume of the two-part Come series. It stands entirely on its own and can be read at any point, without prior familiarity with Althar.
Readers already acquainted with Althar may discover new perspectives that bring his ideas into lived experience.
Readers new to Althar may find Come a natural entry point, with the Althar Material offering a deeper exploration beyond the novel.
