Mark Bonair has long been fascinated by the mystery of human life. He has spent many years exploring the uniqueness of humanity and why it is so vastly different from any other species of life on this small planet, a planet which is itself unique among thousands of planets. Mark has a graduate degree in anthropology and, through a study of history, civilizations, science, religion, and philosophy, he is convinced we are not alone in this universe and that there is a much greater destiny for humanity than most of us may imagine. Through personal experience, he believes that each of us has the potential to rise far above the mundane trials of existence by discovering greater meaning and supreme value in our lives, even to become truly aware of an alternate phase of reality—a spiritual reality.
