Episode 115- author Rodger Shute!  In this episode, I sit down with my dad, author Rodger Shute to discuss his new book “Ultimate Reality.” In the book he explores the questions of consciousness, where we come from, why are we here and where are we going after death.  He has put a lot of research in to this book (496 sources!) and it shows when discussing it with him how knowledgeable he is on the topics. We’ll discuss a little of his background and how he got interested in the topic and then we dive in to the book chapter by chapter. I even ask some questions at the end about things NOT in the book.
