Synopsis
In the oral & written histories of all cultures, there are records of persons who've displayed extraordinary physical, mental & spiritual capacities. In modern times, those records have been supplemented by scientific studies of exceptional functioning. Are metanormal attributes latent within everyone? What's the evidence that all humanity has unrealized capacities for self-transcendence, that the limits of human growth aren't fixed? Are there specific practices that people can do to develop these abilities? Murphy has studied these questions for decades. In The Future of the Body, he presents evidence for metanormal perception, cognition, movement, vitality & spiritual development from over 3000 sources. Surveying ancient & modern records in medical science, sports, anthropology, the arts, psychical research, comparative religious studies & other disciplines, he's created an encyclopedia of exceptional functioning of body, mind & spirit. He paints a convincing picture of the possibilities of further evolutionary development of human attributes. By studying metanormal abilities under a wide range of conditions, he suggests we can identify those activities that typically evoke these capacities & assemble them into a coherent program of transformative practice. Such practice, if embraced by enough people, would constitute a next step in evolution.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
