Revolving around the idea of tapping into one's best self, Vilks' text focuses on reconditioning the mind as a catalyst to escape from the layers upon layers of living out one's "devil self." The author examines the metaphysical elements that unify nature and consciousness to achieve a higher vibrational state. In the process, sensitive topics are tackled with fearless authenticity, including but not limited to depression, sickness, self-love, and detachment.
Perhaps what sets this work apart from other self-help, self-actualization texts is the author's determination to deliver actionable content. As he provides content for the audience, he also embeds exercises focused on affirmations and rewiring the brain. For instance, for someone struggling with their food habits, Vilks has an activity that forces the individual to face himself in the mirror and speak to the true self, envisioning a future self that has already changed those eating habits. Beyond the topics that are universally recognized in most circles, the author sheds light on the futility of humanity when it comes to incredibly simple actions like drinking more water.
At its core, Vilks' teaching acknowledges that temptation is prevalent, particularly the temptation to reside in one's old self out of fear. Nevertheless, he argues, an individual always has the opportunity to make choices or make excuses. The moment people make choices, they will begin living out their most authentic selves, imbued with confidence and spirituality, at a higher, unparalleled consciousness. Tying everything together, Vilks suggests that infinite consciousness connects to nature and the earth, of which all are a part and to which all will return. When people harm the planet through their actions, they are slowly eating away at their own consciousness. Finding a way to take well-trodden topics and portray them with a refreshing take makes Vilks' work a meaningful experience.
