Cabrera & Cabrera, Odyssean Press, 2025

## Abstract

Drawing from systems science, cognitive science, contemplative traditions, and over three decades of research into how minds model reality, Derek Cabrera offers a radically grounded approach to awakening—not as mysticism or belief, but as increasing alignment between the mind's models and the structure of the world itself. At the center of the book is a simple but powerful idea: suffering, confusion, and distortion arise when our internal models fall out of sync with reality—and clarity emerges as those models become more accurate, adaptive, and aligned. Through the lens of DSRP (Distinctions, Systems, Relationships, and Perspectives), Oneness bridges science and spirituality, map and territory, thought and experience. It explores impermanence, non-self, flow, compassion, dependent origination, and awakening as structural phenomena grounded in everyday life. Part philosophical exploration, part scientific framework, and part practical guide, Oneness offers readers a new way of seeing—one rooted not in belief, but in contact with reality itself.
