The book describes the author's journey through life to understand who he is as a human being and, thus, his relationship to the universe in which he finds his expression. The expression requires comprehending what others have said about their relationship to their expression in the universe since learning is only built iota by iota on those who have preceded as well as processing new information in our own minds.

With these concepts, the author guides you through the various understandings by bulleting. His personal life is interwoven into these concepts and the effects on his life's decisions and relationships.

The major explorations and the insights during the journey are expressed in five chapters. Chapter 1 explores what is a human being and his quest to understand himself. Chapter 2 looks at the author's career in the sciences. Chapter 3 looks at the author's participation in religions and other service ministries. Chapter 4 is a look at how humans have developed the various religions and how they are similar yet different. Chapter 5 looks at recent thoughts by current scientists and religionists on the quest to comprehend man's understanding of creation and his place in it as related to the author's life.
