Paramattha - A Guidebook for Consciousness
Paramattha explores in intricate detail the workings of the body, mind, consciousness, and the path to enlightenment—the four ultimates of Buddhist Abhidhamma philosophy. Presented in a clear and progressive manner, it guides the reader from simple, easily understood concepts to insights of increasing complexity, culminating in an exploration of the very laws underlying existence.
In its four parts, the book takes the reader step by step through:
•The Four Fundamental Realities (Paramattha) – forming a basic vocabulary of insight.
•The Paṭṭhāna Conditions – outlining possible relations between these realities, acting as the grammar of insight.
•The Five Niyāma (Fundamental Laws of Existence) – providing a framework for understanding reality at a deeper level.
•Practical Application – exploring how this knowledge can be integrated into meditation and daily life.
Designed for meditators, seekers, and students of Buddhist philosophy, Paramattha blends ancient wisdom with modern clarity, offering practical tools for spiritual growth and daily living. Enhanced with carefully crafted graphics and diagrams it makes each point comprehensible and clear.

Keys to the Higher Life
This book, although not Abhidhamma in style, has yet been the preparatory work on my mind for my desired journey to explore the Abhidhamma system.
It is a book about religion, about philosophy, spirituality, personal growth, and devotion to the higher life.
In it, I tried to show, that religion, or the spiritual life, too has its laws, just as those laws of nature discovered by science in regards to the physical universe.
Thus, it is especially an attempt to move the practice of the religious or spiritual life away from the mere blind following of rigid formalised methods on the one hand, as well the equally blind experimenting of the few bold explorers on the other, into a world of discoverable laws.
In this book you will find ideas about the universe, about the mind, the body, and about meditation…about Buddhism and, a bit about other philosophies.
