This series has been derived from the mind of a master recording and mixing engineer and his experiences through learning and application of the recording arts. The title, “Zengineer Scrolls” could have easily been replaced with the name, The Philosophy of Recording”, because it not only provides factual information to guide the reader in recording techniques but also serves as a means to providing a light to the path of how to be a master at the craft. When one begins reading these materials they will almost immediately realize they are looking through the eyes of a master so as to become that master. Instead of being a collection of memorization tools it is a visualization of invaluable experience where every word counts as a step in the “Zen” direction of being. One will not even want to bypass the introduction as the key to this reservoir of knowledge begins there and pours tons of information into the readers view. So the series, beginning with the first collection of four scrolls, is not about “how to” but “how to be” instead. Yet there’s a journey and not a series of tasks. Prepare to dive into an ocean of knowledge between these covers and when you reach the bottom discover the mother of pearl within yourself. Arise as an engineer master; Zengineer!

Ideas can change the world but rarely do. Some call for pause. What if Western thought is warped by an illusion so compelling that it affects almost every aspect of our understanding, including modern science? Scientists look for objective knowledge. But suppose the distinction between the subjective mind and the objective reality does not exist. Fathoming this is called nondual awareness, and it is so counterintuitive that it remains rare. Nonetheless, reason demands a nondual world, as Existential Rationalism explains. This has far-reaching consequences. For example, science relies heavily on replicable experiments. But without an objective reality, what makes empirical data scientific? To answer this question, Eschauzier goes back nearly three centuries when David Hume made his case for empiricism, challenging the validity of pure reason to obtain scientific knowledge. Rationalism never recovered from Hume's challenge. Eschauzier argues that nondual awareness is the missing insight to reinstate reason as the supreme scientific principle: Without an objective reality, reason justifies empirical science. Thus revitalized, the principles of rational thought can still provide groundbreaking clarity today. From understanding the dualistic disposition in psychology to debunking the quantum computer mythology, Existential Rationalism is a trailblazing synthesis of Western rationalism and Eastern nondualism. "I am a firm believer that great things happen when different practices and schools of thought converge to create something new. Arts and hard sciences are often pitted against each other as contradictory and opposite ends of our spectrum of knowledge. This book is a wonderful example of how philosophy and science can be integrated to deepen our understanding of both. [...] Kudos to the author for this inspiring contribution to the world!"-Amazon customer
