While a premed undergraduate at the University of Illinois, I gave up religion and became a materialist after my first course in anthropology. During my first course in physics, after learning about wave-particle duality and uncertainty, I gave up materialism and decided to look at the relation between consciousness and material reality in the light of these phenomena, unhampered by the usual scientific preconception regarding that relation, which assumes consciousness to be a product of material reality. And so, dissatisfied with what religion had to say about the nature of God and with what science had to say about the nature of consciousness, I set out to find a reasonable and rational explanation for both. This book is the result. I presently practice medicine in Milwaukee and continue to spend my spare time exploring and writing about the relation between consciousness and reality.

Paperback. First Edition [2002]; First Printing, so stated. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. xiii, 417 pages. Academic Press Paperback. The author has the natural skill to express himself by way of a comprehensive, communicative language and exceptional ability to present the complex concepts in a simple way. And most importantly, the material in the book charts a very coherent model of reality with clearly stated assumptions and logically drawn conclusions. The author does not play with words and the book is not a typical contemporary philosophical exercise in linguistics. If the reader is interested in the models of reality developed by the Eastern philosophy and Western science - then this book would deliver a surprising bonus - it is neither the rewrite nor the reference to all that has been written so far. The model presented in the book is absolutely original and not based on any obvious sources other than author's own powerful thinking process validated by personal experience. The spotting of the difference between the awareness and consciousness, the reflection on the reality as the existence's experience of itself are the brightest and most interesting threads of the book. All of these subjects are communicated with the simplicity of the sage. And illustrated with appealing graphics. The reader will appreciate that the author does not forget that he is presenting the model - usually the writers dealing with the Big Questions related to the nature of reality turn into the patronizing mode of the all and the only wise. The author of this material is gloriously free from the self-exaltation and pompousness. The on-line book was composed of two parts. The second one, focused on the model of reality as the existence's experience of itself is a must read for everybody eager to extend his conceptual horizon and deepen the understanding of his consciousness.
