Overview
Realization explains in detail how the world we experience around us and seem to live our lives in is an illusion. We are actually living inside a program that simulates reality in a form that makes it adaptive for us to function and survive. But rather than a simulation created by some alien programmer this simulation is produced by our own minds and has been programmed by millions of years of evolution.
Nevertheless our simulation completely misrepresents the true nature of reality to us. It's only when we understand the many different layers of illusion our simulation produces that they can begin to be removed to discover the true nature of reality hidden within their veils.
This book reveals all the different ways that our simulation obscures the true nature of reality from us. Only when the illusory appearances of the simulation are recognized and pulled back one by one does the true nature of reality become clear and the path to its realization open before us.
Once the true nature of reality becomes clear and the veils of illusion that obscure it are lifted the secrets of realization appear and reality as it actually exists can begin to be directly experienced.
Realization is a transformative journey through illusion to the direct experience of the true nature of reality itself in the universe, the forms of all things, and within our own being. What we discover profoundly transforms the way we see the world and ourselves and how we live our lives within the living presence of reality.
This revolutionary new exposition of illusion, reality, and realization is based firmly in modern cognitive, information, and physical science and in carefully analyzed direct experience and avoids anything supernatural or metaphysical. It's a completely new logically consistent understanding of reality and its implications that can't be found anywhere else.
Anyone interested in realization and the true nature of reality will find this book a highly informative, enjoyable and enlightening experience.

About the Author
Edgar L. Owen was born April 1st, 1941 and quickly realized that reality is not as it appears to be. A child prodigy, he entered the University of Tulsa aged 15 and received a B.S. with honors in science and mathematics with a minor in philosophy at 18 before completing several more years of graduate study in physics and philosophy.
In the early 60's he moved to the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco where he hung out with notables from the Beat Generation, and conducted an intense personal study of the nature of mind and consciousness. From there he traveled to Japan where he lived for three years studying Zen and Buddhist philosophy while subsisting as a ronin English teacher.
Upon returning to the US he began a career in computer science writing numerous programs in artificial intelligence, simulations, graphics, and cellular automata while designing and managing advanced computer systems for the New York Federal Reserve Bank and AT&T. He then left the corporate world to start his own software business marketing his own CAD programs, which he ran for a number of years. Currently he owns a premier Internet gallery of fine Ancient Art and Classical Numismatics at EdgarLOwen.com.
Deeply immersed in nature since childhood, and always considering it the ultimate source of his inspiration and knowledge of reality, he has served as Chairman of his local Environmental Commission and organized several campaigns to protect the local environment and its wildlife.
Over the last several years he has worked to combine and organize the results of a lifetime of study of the various aspects of reality into a single coherent Theory of Everything. He now spends most of his time exploring the wonderful awesome mystery of reality and how it can be experienced more fully and deeply and enjoying his existence within it.
Edgar currently lives in Northern NJ in a big old house on top of a hill where he communes with nature and enjoys the company of his wild visitors including the occasional human. Edgar is currently single and looking for a younger housekeeper companion. He can be contacted at Edgar@EdgarLOwen.com.
