B.K. is a pen name. I studied physics, electrical engineering, and computer science in Europe and have been living and working as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, California for the past 20+ years. A lifelong interest in philosophy, the nature of the human mind, and spiritual meditative practice has guided my studies and most endeavors throughout my adult life. I have either lived in or extensively traveled to about a dozen countries worldwide, which has been a gift and a tre­mendous help in understanding different perspectives.
