Reality is a Thought

Reality Is a Thought invites readers to look anew at the foundations of their experience. What we call "reality" is not a fixed external fact but largely a construct of thought. David Jakob blends philosophy, psychology, and spiritual insight to show how memory, belief, and perception filter the world we see — and how stepping beyond these filters opens the way to clarity. This book challenges the common assumption that truth lies only outside of us. Instead, Jakob argues that genuine understanding comes from within — through awareness of the present moment, attention to feeling, and recognition that each breath itself is the most immediate reminder of life. Drawing on mystics and living masters across traditions, Jakob shows that this perspective is both timeless and urgently relevant. Written in accessible language, Reality Is a Thought bridges intellectual inquiry and direct experience, philosophy and practice. For readers of philosophy, psychology, spirituality, or personal growth, this book is both an exploration and an encouragement: an invitation to loosen the grip of belief, to discover presence, and to experience freedom not as an abstract idea but as reality itself.
