The written record
One book so far, with more underway. Everything published under this name follows the same rule: experiences told honestly, evidence weighed openly, and the difference between the two kept visible on the page.
The first book
Glimpses of Atlantis, Bigfoot, & Aliens
You Are Not Going Crazy; You Are Awakening
I did not set out to write this book. I set out to keep my footing. I had a science degree, a technology company, and a settled picture of how reality worked. Then a meditation practice opened a door I did not know was there, and a series of experiences walked through it that my worldview had no room for.
Glimpses is the record of what happened next. Not a case for any conclusion, and not a conversion story. It is one trained observer writing down extraordinary experiences with the same care he once brought to field data, checking for the ordinary explanation first, and saying plainly where the ordinary explanations ran out.
If something like this has happened to you, the subtitle is the message: you are not going crazy. You deserve better than ridicule from one side and easy answers from the other. This book tries to be that better thing.
What the book holds
Nine territories, each carrying the label it earns. Some are experiences. Some are open questions. None are sold as proof.
The experiences themselves
The events that broke the old worldview open, told in full for the first time, in the order they happened.
The practice that started it
How an ordinary meditation habit, started for ordinary reasons, became the door everything else came through.
A scientist argues with himself
The mundane explanations, taken seriously: sleep states, memory, suggestion, coincidence, and where each one holds or fails.
Atlantis
What the record shows, what people add to it, and what evidence would actually move the question either way.
Bigfoot and cryptids
Why careful, sober people keep reporting animals that should not exist, from someone trained to evaluate field observations.
Non-human intelligence
Encounters, testimony, and the honest space between a real experience and a settled explanation.
The hard passages
The parts of awakening nobody advertises: doubt, isolation, and the fear of losing your mind while your life looks normal.
What it might mean
Frameworks from science and from older traditions, weighed side by side, with the speculation clearly marked as speculation.
The method
The four labels this whole body of work runs on, and why an honest I do not know beats a confident wrong answer.
