From the Author
Reality and perception vs. illusion and conception.
HOW THE WORLD CAN BE THE WAY IT IS is about resolving the confusion between how we imagine the world in our minds and how it actually is. I see that the book is billed as "warm and witty"; while it has some warmth and wit to it, it's not a book of humor or sweetness. It's a serious look at the nature of perception and reality. Readers will also be interested in my new book, BUDDHISM PLAIN AND SIMPLE, to be published by Tuttle in October.
Synopsis
Who are we? What are we doing here? What is real? The tragedy of our time, says Hagen, is that the light of wisdom has gone out, leaving us morally devastated. Even religion and science can no longer save us, and we fear that life itself is meaningless. The key to the Truth is to perceive the world directly: as it is, not just as we conceive it to be. The answer lies not in what we think, but in what we are able to see. Using simple examples from a range of subjects including quantumphysics, philosophy and Zen Buddhist teaching, Hagen retrains the reader to see "true reality". He strips away dogma, structure and empirical "absolutes" that keep us from knowing the Truth.
