The idea came to me when I began to see a common ground in the three subjects that I have been researching on for the past decade: Quantum Physics, Transcendental Phenomenology, and Advaita Vedanta Metaphysics.
I realized that these three intellectual disciplines have astonishing similarities both in their descriptions and their conclusions. They all seem to be pointing to one and the same underlying principle which I present as follows:
"The manifest arises from the vibrations of the unmanifest."

My current project is the second book of the Nondual Perspectives series. It is on the subject of consciousness. The approach of this book to consciousness is phenomenological. According to phenomenology consciousness must be defined in terms of consciousness itself instead of natural processes. Nature and its processes are themselves known to us in and through consciousness, and hence they cannot be used to fully and properly describe consciousness.
This book will be published by the end of 2015 summer.

The only advice for aspiring writers, and aspiring anyone, is to believe in what you do and what you want to be no matter what. Just write, and don't write to become a writer; write believing that you are a writer.

As a writer you have the opportunity the communicate aspects of reality that you find interesting and valuable, especially if you feel that these aspects may help the quality of life even of a few individuals. Through writing you get to give back to people what you receive from nature.

I have two strategies when I get to the writer's block:
1) I jot down my thoughts about it, describing the state of mind and the emotions that I am experiencing when I can't write about my subject. It is a free-writing exercise that helps me pass through the block. Just write when you're stuck, whatever comes to mind and heart, and brilliant ideas will surface.
2) I take a pen and a piece of paper and go take a walk. Walking makes ideas roll. When a good idea comes just write down the gist of it so you can work it when you get back to the typewriter.
