Synopsis

Everyone knows that consciousness resides in the brain. Or does it?

In this book, Imants Baru amp scaron s and Julia Mossbridge utilize findings from quantum mechanics, special relativity, philosophy, and paranormal psychology to build a rigorous, scientific investigation into the origins and nature of human consciousness. Along the way, they examine the scientific literature on concepts such as mediumship, out-of-body and near-death experiences, telekinesis, amp ldquo apparent amp rdquo vs. amp ldquo deep time, amp rdquo and mind-to-mind communication, and introduce eye-opening ideas about our shared reality. The result is a revelatory tour of the amp ldquo post-materialist amp rdquo world-and a roadmap for consciousness research in the twenty-first century.
