"Beside The Reef of Truth" is a supposed honest spiritual and mystical insight for those who embrace oneself with a freely mind and body. But what makes this honesty possibly truthful on its own, and where does all that lead us inside the world and beyond?

Olen Owlman finds comfort here to express from one self-experience and above his will and needs: how should one live, but without any required or forced conviction to adapt in your life, such as perspectives, religious beliefs, philosophies, different ideas hitherto and beyond to follow, or even place them somewhere else. The purpose as one that is needed to be read here is, in fact, the thoughtfulness itself, which is nothing but far from unhonest on its own.

Systems that are about to be discussed here:

• Self-consciousness and self-awareness of oneself.
• Ethics and morals of oneself and its existence.
• Inspiration about one's self-virtue and why goodness is possibly the greater and harder decision.
• Balance between good and evil, and their possible existence from existentialistic thought and more.
• Metaphysics about how and where one should observe and start searching for his own purpose in life.
• Possible justice for meaningless suffering and pain of oneself.

The book's philosophies are blended with existential, metaphysical, and mystical thought, with a poetic style, paradoxes, and a lot of aphorisms as a writing choice. The language is not considered heavy and profound for non-natives, which means that it is not difficult to understand based on the vocabulary. However, the language of expression might be hard to comprehend for those who are not familiar with the subject itself. But despite what is needed, each chapter is a preparation for the other one; thus, if and why you decide to put yourself into this story, it has to be slowly.
