This compilation of twenty-six scientific papers and philosophical essays expands the mind-body problem of the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes. We expose the nature of consciousness; we discuss its origin and manifestations in living organisms. We distinguish it from life and elaborate on human existence on Earth. From there, we solve the ancient enigma posited by Epicurus, the Greek philosopher.In science, we take over Schrodinger's works on the body's entropy and use the research of the Japanese Nobel laureate Yoshinori Ohsumi to explain how non-living atoms transition to living molecules, Francis Crick's faded dream that becomes reality. We delve into the living organisms to explain various losses of consciousness and awareness, including sleep, syncope, and death. We mainly focus on sleep to elucidate this mystery that no living organisms escape.

Return to Tomorrow is a compilation poetry book. It discusses all concepts of life. From reality, fantasy, spiritualism, mysticism, romance, lost love, today's world and hopefully the reality of truth. I also think Return to Tomorrow is sort of a journey through the psyche of the mind. An imagination of today's reality and tomorrow's future. There's always hope for love and peace of mind, for today and our future. But maybe our own conscience of our souls could be the answer, for love and hate. And maybe learn from our past failures, from conflict, peace and love. But I do think there will be freedom from our minds, for all of us. So maybe behind our eyes holds truth to our lives. So in this poetry book, Return to Tomorrow. Hopefully you'll find the right rhyme somewhere out there or within the mind.
