Field Notes for 21st‑Century Realization
Not all data comes through instruments.
Transform your attention into a precision instrument. This book bridges the gap between mystical insight and scientific rigor, offering practical protocols for first-person empiricism that reduce suffering and improve decision-making.
Try the 2-Minute Urge Loop Experiment
Three repeating moves that transform experience
Direct, non-theoretical observation of what's actually happening in your experience right now.
Make simple, falsifiable predictions about what will happen when you apply attention in specific ways.
Change how you speak, design, and decide based on what you've directly observed.
11 chapters of practical wisdom and tested protocols
Mysticism doesn't require belief—just disciplined attention and repeatable protocols.
Debug the build process of self. Design an identity with less residue and more clarity.
Songs are maps. Use music to study suffering, insight, and release patterns.
Dreams and hunches carry guidance when handled with protocols and humility.
Train attention with inner sound as a stable reference oscillator.
Pattern continuity across lifetimes and lineages—without metaphysical strain.
Right speech as psycho-spiritual hygiene in an attention economy.
Build AI and systems that protect persons and reduce suffering.
Balance receptive wisdom with protective clarity in one body.
Transform daily life into pilgrimage through quality of attention.
See through symbols without cynicism, with them without gullibility.

Bridge mysticism and empiricism
A claim earns credibility as it compresses more cases with fewer assumptions while remaining behaviorally useful.
Attention is a trainable instrument. Use it to detect invariants in lived experience before naming them.
Urge → tension → action → aftertaste. Naming the urge changes its waveform predictably.
Each exhale completes the loop. Train for no residue in conflict and communication.
"Finally, a book that respects both my scientific training and my contemplative interests. The practices are immediately applicable."
- Software Engineer, Silicon Valley"The Four Gates practice alone transformed my team communication. Conflict resolution time dropped by 50%."
- Engineering Manager"I was skeptical about mysticism, but this book's empirical approach won me over. The urge loop experiment is genius."
- Data Scientist"The Techno-Dharma chapter should be required reading for anyone building AI systems. Practical ethics in action."
- AI Researcher"This book bridges worlds I thought were incompatible. The practices are precise, testable, and transformative."
- Product Designer"No woo-woo, no dogma, just clear protocols that work. My decision-making has measurably improved."
- Startup FounderJoin thousands discovering how disciplined first-person empiricism can reduce suffering and improve action.
