Dear Substack readers,
In the coming days, you’ll be reading excerpts from my book Time, Reality, Consciousness. For now, I’ll be sharing parts from Volume III, which focuses on consciousness. Later on, I’ll publish sections from Volume II (Reality) and Volume I (Time).
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Queridos lectores de Substack,
En los próximos días estarán leyendo fragmentos de mi libro Tiempo, Realidad, Consciencia. Por ahora, compartiré partes del Volumen III, que se centra en la Consciencia. Más adelante, publicaré secciones del Volumen II (Realidad) y del Volumen I (Tiempo).
Espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo lo disfruté al escribirlo.
