About the Author

Dr. Nazir A. Brelvi graduated from SUNY: State College of Optometry in Manhattan, NYC and has traveled extensively in India, Africa, Europe and South America. After a 28 year stint as an Optometric Physician, he has now retired from a busy private practice to pursue his first love of writing. Dr. Brelvi’s fascination with animal and human cognition emerged from the numerous discussions and debates he undertook with several neuro-scientists at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals (now Novartis) while pursuing his Graduate studies in NeuroBiology at Seton Hall University under Dr. Stanley Kramer’s mentorship. However, exploring the puzzle of Cognition/Consciousness has always been a source of scientific curiosity and interest to Dr. Brelvi. His two non-fiction books, An Introduction to Cognitive Optometry and Cognitive Optometry 2, deal with the cognitive aspects of human vision and how various visual deficits or malfunctions can affect and misrepresent one’s perceptions of the world/Reality out there. In his latest book in the Cognition/Consciousness series, Dr. Brelvi hopes to reconcile the various scientific and religious thoughts in order to seek new and innovative answers to the age-old questions that have been lingering in our social consciousness since the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Hindu mythologies. Dr. Brelvi currently lives in the Panther Valley community of Allamuchy, New Jersey with his wife Sarah, and Suki, their little Shih-tsu.Their two wonderful adult children, Jeff & Jane also lead busy lives but added to the dialogue and aided in the endless necessary chores of getting this book published.
