SPEAKER Thomas Daniel Nehrer
TITLE The Essence of Reality: A Clear Awareness of How Life Works
DESCRIPTION Author and speaker Tom Nehrer will explore with us the teachings of ancient and modern mystics, sages, philosophers and scientists. Religions, spiritual disciplines and healing techniques will be compared to life’s real functionality. This comparison also includes illusions, commonly presented as truth. Always questioning cultural truths, Tom Nehrer left chemical engineering to travel widely while young. A mystical experience while traveling in Europe prompted a long inner journey and outward examination of life, ultimately yielding a Clear Awareness of life’s flow. With an intimate, personal, often humorous touch, his book The Essence of Reality communicates the inner causality of real events: how each individual invariably creates patterns in health, success and relationships in one's life, often realizing negation and pain where fulfillment should be. Tom is also a retired software developer/consultant who brings a broad perspective to what he writes and speaks about. Visiting us from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, he now dedicates his life to speaking on the topics described in his book and on his longstanding website. For a preview of his topic and description of his book, visit Tom Nehrer's website at www.nehrer.net
