Medicine, awareness and the written word.

My writing includes medical reference chapters and philosophical books. Each has its own questions, audience and way of examining evidence.

Before God, Before the World: Awareness

God does not Watch You. God Watches as You.

A philosophical exploration of awareness as the ground of experience, drawing on reflection about identity, existence and spirituality. This is a work of personal philosophical inquiry, distinct from my clinical and scientific publications.

Particle to Presence

A science-inspired journey to inner calm

Reflections on identity, thought and direct experience. The book uses metaphors from modern physics to explore awareness and presence; it does not present those metaphors as scientific proof of spiritual claims.
