Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Dreams by Nataša Pantović is a metaphysical biographical novel that weaves a profound narrative exploring the depths of human consciousness, spirituality, and personal transformation. Set in Findhorn, UK, this journey is both literal and mythological, encompassing experiences in Serbia, Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malta.

The novel follows Nataša's adoption story as it unfolds across continents, interlacing her own spiritual quest with the universal questions that have guided her life's exploration. Through an intricate blend of personal experience and deep philosophical inquiry, Pantović reflects on the nature of existence and the metaphysical dimensions of life.

At the core of the book are seven pivotal questions that challenge the nature of consciousness and our understanding of the universe:

1. Is there a God? – The exploration of an omnipotent, omnipresent force that underlies existence.
2. Is there a Soul? – Examining the soul as consciousness, reflecting the divine through both spiritual and scientific lenses.
3. Are we a trinity of forces? – Understanding how love, charity, and beauty help manifest goodness in the world.
4. Do we have free will? – Investigating freedom from our thoughts and the relationship between the four elements and our personal experiences.
5. What’s the meaning of life? – Contemplating existence through the symbols of the Star of David and the Crucifixion, and their relevance in the modern world.
6. Are Yin and Yang in balance? – Examining how consciousness manifests and whether Yang forces are equally present in the world today.
7. Is there life after death? – Exploring the concepts of reincarnation, Heaven and Hell, and whether we pass on our behavior patterns to our children.

Through these questions, Pantović engages in a quest for "divine wisdom" drawn from ancient traditions, such as Theosophy, Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek philosophies, alongside her own personal exploration of the soul’s journey. She reflects on her experiences in Kenya, where she worked on a school project with Father George, and the adoption of two children from Ethiopia, bringing her metaphysical exploration to a deeply personal and tangible level.

Pantović also touches on the dynamic tension between reason and spirituality. She emphasizes that, like the philosophers before her, she does not seek a perfect doctrine but the perfection of the self. This perspective aligns with her belief that life is about exploring one's true nature, not clinging to rigid dogma. In her exploration of consciousness, she suggests that both material and spiritual experiences contribute to our understanding of existence, and that by embracing both, we can come closer to the truth of our own being.

Through her journey, Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Dreams invites readers to embark on a deeper spiritual journey, one that encourages reflection on profound questions while embracing personal growth, love, and connection with the divine.
