Time, Space, and Knowledge – A New Vision of Reality by Tarthang Tulku, introduces a new vision of reality based on fundamental elements of experience and free from any religious perspective. Inviting readers to look freshly at the fundamental principles that govern human experience, Time, Space, and Knowledge explores the possibility that our current understanding of reality represents only one particular "focal setting" on experience. As an alternative to the dichotomies of conventional thought, it offers a unified vision that unfolds from the interplay of space and time with knowledge and exhibits boundless creativity—the nexus of human freedom and opportunity. Thirty-five thought experiments transform inspiring theory into direct experience, revealing that time and space can manifest differently, with liberating and lasting implications for human consciousness.
