On the journey to enlightenment, one can struggle with good and evil. One will even struggle to make the difficult choices between right and wrong. So, in this series, the "Weavers beyond the bindings" will use their heroes and villains to find out which is truly right for the path of enlightenment and contest for the fate of their fantastical worlds.

The Wayfarer walks through deserts of nothingness, mountains of faith, forests of doubt, cities of law, and gardens of quiet joy. Each path embodies a way of seeing the world — not as doctrine, but as lived experience. No voice explains. No answer is declared final.

Based on the fictional novel Opt for Oneness: A Fictional Journey to Inner Peace and Higher Consciousness by Dr.Mason, this philosophical graphic novel explores the quiet space beneath division, identity, and certainty—where unity begins. Written by Dr. Michael Aaron Mason and illustrated by Ron Stollman, this work blends visual storytelling with reflective philosophy, using images and minimal text to guide the reader through questions of self, otherness, and shared existence. Rather than presenting arguments, the narrative unfolds as a sequence of contemplative moments—each page inviting pause, attention, and inner resonance. The illustrations are central to the experience, functioning as a visual language that carries meaning alongside the words. Symbolic, atmospheric, and emotionally grounded, the artwork transforms abstract ideas into lived scenes and inner landscapes. This graphic novel is for readers who: • Enjoy philosophy presented through visual narrative • Are drawn to themes of unity, consciousness, and meaning • Appreciate slow, reflective reading experiences • Seek depth without dogma Opt for Oneness is not about answers, conclusions, or ideology. It is an invitation—to look, to feel, and to recognize the shared ground beneath apparent separation. Welcome to view Dr.Mason's web page: http://optforoneness.com/ .
