About this title

Synopsis

Can Reason entertain a Reality different than that of the Material world that pervades our thought today? Are we wrong about the form of the world and the life that we are experiencing? Starting from the one incontrovertible truth - that we are present - the author develops a view of reality that encompasses all of human experience and in the process shows how what we call physical reality and what we call spiritual reality are not two things as they are seen today - that there is only one Reality and it is nondual Awareness. This book puts the question of what reality is to the ultimate test by removing every one of our unfounded assumptions about it.

About the Author

The philosopher James Corrigan spent three decades designing and developing computer software for major Fortune 50 companies. His work on automated software development and his focus on the faculty of intuitive understanding at work in the design of complex systems led him to forsake the idea that reasoning is a computational process and that conscious experience is an effect of physical mechanisms. His systematic treatment of Reality, explaining its non-dual nature, is focused on showing the perniciousness of the idea of physical reality and the mechanical view of Nature that it entails. He shows that our basic assumptions about awareness are fundamentally wrong and points to how this necessarily undermines the doctrines of Materialism.
