While writing my last book, ‘Gita: Between the Unknowable and the Unreal’ it became clear to me what was next for me. It was time to marry, within the Tao Te Ching, its deep understanding of Human perception, consciousness, and the nature of Reality with our modern understanding of Physics, Cosmology, and Biology. The result is an interpretation that honors the form and core ideas within the Tao Te Ching while bringing to it a contemporary edge.
