The Truth is a novel that blends fiction and reality, weaving together interviews and a travel narrative in a genre as layered and intricate as life itself.
​
How does one navigate the delicate dance of unconditional openness to truth? How does one break down the prejudices that shape perception? How does one learn to feel the truth and trust their inner voice? These are the questions that guide us through this book, where real and fictional stories and conversations are seamlessly intertwined, all serving a common purpose.
​
The Truth is like a map, and a map’s meaning always depends on the person reading it. Thus, the profound journey embedded in this story—and what you take from it—will depend entirely on you. This is a book that is fully open and responsive to the consciousness of each reader.

Synopsis:
​
Helena, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, embarks on an investigation for her latest documentary, focused on the theme of “Truth.” She delves into the false premises that have shaped realities for centuries and continue to condition us today. One example she explores is how Mary Magdalene was falsely portrayed as a prostitute during a sermon by Pope Gregory I in the sixth century—a misconception that persisted for centuries, influencing women's roles and perceptions of sexuality. The disconnection of sexuality from the sacred, and the suppression of the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, are just a few of the critical topics examined in this book.
​
How can we uncover the cracks through which light enters? How can we discern what is true from what is false? And how do we reach our own hearts? How do we shed the layers that don’t belong to us?
​
As reality often surpasses fiction, Helena’s search for truth ultimately shatters the very foundations of her life.
From great love to deep pain, from deception to truth, from the dark night of the soul to an elevated state of consciousness—this is a journey that opens doors to a new understanding of love and wisdom. It highlights the importance of balancing the Masculine and Feminine within ourselves and in the world, harmonizing the spiritual and the material, and discovering the inner wisdom that resides in every heart.
An initiation journey that helps each reader discover their own best compass, their most reliable polygraph—whether guided by the heart or the gut—to uncover the truth.
"There is a feeling of being transported to another world beyond time, another dimension that we are now being called to enter. Ana Teresa Silva's writing in particular is haunting and hypnotic, creating a sense of the liminal and ethereal, and I have no doubt that it will be a great success."
