In his book Through the Labyrinths to Consciousness: A Soul’s Guide, Maxim Chemerinsky — Aura-Soma® Master, graduate of ASIACT (The Art & Science International Academy of Colour Technologies, UK), author, speaker, and documentary photographer — shares his path of self-discovery, which began with a pivotal turning point on his eighteenth birthday. His journey weaves together spiritual exploration, work with symbols, archetypes, ancient cultures, and a practical philosophy of everyday life.

The book is rich in personal stories, thoughtful insights, and subtle irony. Maxim blends reflections on consciousness, time, attention, and inner stillness with vivid accounts of travel, meditation, encounters, and cultural motifs. One section is dedicated to dialogues and themes connected with intuition and feminine wisdom, yet the work as a whole offers a universal inquiry into the soul and the deeper meaning of the human journey.

A distinctive feature of the book is a curated gallery of the author’s photographs, captured at sacred sites across the world. These unique visual moments trace the path of the seeker not only through words, but through light, composition, and the breath of space itself. In the future, this photographic series will be presented as a stand-alone exhibition, where visual language continues and expands the inner journey.
