Let Us Start with Light. An Enquiry into Reality, Time, and the Illusion of Self (en Inglés) - Vivek Sharma

We live as though the world is exactly as it appears - solid, immediate, and centred around a self that thinks, chooses, and experiences.

But what if this is only part of the story?

Beginning with light - the foundation of how we see the universe - this book explores the deeper structure of reality, moving from physics and time to perception and consciousness. Drawing on relativity, quantum theory, and neuroscience, it examines what science reveals about the world we take for granted. As each layer is examined, familiar assumptions begin to shift.

The enquiry then turns inward. How is perception constructed? Where does the sense of "I" come from - and what remains when it is examined directly? Across centuries and cultures, thinkers in Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Zen, and other contemplative traditions have investigated these questions not merely as philosophy, but as lived experiences. Their insights, placed alongside modern science, point toward something that neither tradition can fully articulate alone.

This book does not offer answers to believe in. It offers something more direct: a way of looking that may quietly transform how you understand reality - and yourself.
