this experience. this world
The world only appears as experience.
There is no knowing beyond experience. We cannot know what experience really is, and so we cannot know the ultimate nature of the world.
Because this is the case, no single way of experiencing things can be the “right” one.
Not even the so-called “non-dual” way is more true than the conventional dualistic mindset.
It is simply another configuration — one among many.
There can only be this experience, however it appears, right now, right here.
This space is intended for those drawn to questions without answers, and for people with a background in philosophy or spirituality who are tired of systems, certainty, and ready-made conclusions.
Wide Open Windows does not offer solutions. It invites inquiry — into what we think we know, into the limits of knowledge, into how beliefs mask uncertainty, and into what remains when no final answer is possible.
A series of three books.
Configurations of Appearance does not replace 'foundations' with 'freedom', but shows how appearance operates without either.
1. This is it
How the World Shows Up as Experience
This book continues the inquiry opened above. It does not offer conclusions or a coherent worldview. It follows experience as it forms itself, interprets itself, generates certainty, and dissolves it again.
The book examines, among other things:
It is not a path, not a teaching, not a method. It is simply a close look at how experience shows its world.
Includes an extensive review by Miranda Warren.

2. Mindsets
A Cartography of Experience.
A mindset is not an interpretation of experience; it is the architecture of experience. In one mindset, the world is coherent, predictable, shared. In another, it becomes symbolic, porous, immediate, or overwhelming.
A mindset is a way a world appears — not a belief, not a disorder, not an insight, but a configuration of experience.
Among other things, the book shows:
'Mindsets' is a book with direct testimonies next to functional descriptions and analyses. Not clinical, not spiritual, not psychological, but phenomenological:

3. Before Worlds
Conditions of Appearance.
Before Worlds asks not how worlds differ, but under what conditions anything like a world can appear at all.
Not within experience, but prior to its stabilization.
Not within meaning, but before meaning becomes possible.
Not within perspective, but before perspectives take shape.
This is not a regression to origins in any historical sense.
There is no attempt to reconstruct a first moment, a beginning, or a hidden foundation. What is explored here is not a past event, but a structural question that is always already operative.
What must be the case—minimally, impersonally — for appearance to occur?
