This is a book that spans several topics that are assigned as a chapter. These topics include my philosophy on existence, human existence, and the ultimate realm of reality, as well as on energy and matter, dimension, motion, time and space, the natural world, education, politics, religion, athletics, economics, ethics, perception and actuality, and so on. Many of the ideas, principles, and theories are not radically new, yet I hope that my presentation of them can provide some perspectives that you may have not considered, which in turn can help you broaden your awareness and inspire a more dynamic and enthusiastic pursuit on the deeper meanings of both experience and imagination. This book, as such you could say, is a basic scientific but mostly philosophic summation of what I have learned through my current lifetime of study and contemplation.

Brings together Paul Williams' previously published papers on the Indian and Tibetan interpretations of selected verses from the eighth and ninth chapters of the Bodhicaryavatara.

It is easy to distinguish what it is from what it is not, just by telling them apart, or just by knowing what exists, from what it does not. And this is the empirical approach while studying Existence. Yet what exactly is Existence in itself? How or where does Existence exist? Is Existence limited to the human existence, perception, and reasoning? Is Existence limited to the cognitive summation of all living beings? Yes, because all living beings form Existence, just because the term 'being' implies to be, to exist. However, the term 'real' implies the same. Because the concept 'existence' has a multitude of terms defining it, and now we have to consider them while studying Existence in all details. And as you notice, we are not looking for a superficial, empirical study, because we already have it, since we already know that everything that exists exists and everything that does not exist does not exist. We want more, we want a comprehensive study of Existence, through all premises: existential, empirical, philosophical, cognitive, interconnected, mathematical, living, social, developmental, scientific, analytical, rational, and so on.But what exactly is there escaping the senses of perception of all living beings in the world? The nonexistent, certainly. And what exactly exists and takes place beyond Existence itself? Again, it is the nonexistent, yet this is the case for us only, from our perspective. Because Existence is relative to any observer. For example, you have one existence defining you, and it is your own existence. And in this manner, you may exist even alone, on your own, and you still exist, for yourself. Yet for others, if they never encounter and never interact with you directly and implicitly, then you do not exist for them, you are simply part of the inexistent, and so are they for you, from your own perspective. Because there might be zillions of realities similar to ours, but if they never interact with us, they never exist for us, while we never exist for them. And this is the case for all realities, because nothing exists at the exterior of any reality, not even this concept of 'exterior.'The purpose of this book is to study Existence entirely through accurate facts, from all perspectives and in all circumstances, in order to be able to understand it completely. Furthermore, we use Existence to define, understand, and explain everything else related to humans and human life. And since Existence stands at the base of everything that exists in the world, this accounts for everything indeed.
