Synopsis
How much of your waking time are you fully awake?
How often do you stumble through the day on auto-pilot, half asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive?
In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of 'sleep' from which we sometimes 'wake up', into a more intense and complete reality. Waking from Sleep provides what is perhaps the first ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or 'awakening experiences'.
This book examines:
• the methods that human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, nature, sport, psychedelic drugs and sleep deprivation
• how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world's peoples (and still are in some cases)
• how we can make 'wakefulness' our normal state again.
By fully explaining awakening experiences, this book makes them much more accessible, and may even lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En este libro, Steve Taylor explora las causas de las experiencias de despertar y cómo hacerlas permanentes. Sugiere que nuestra conciencia normal es una forma de 'sueño' del que a veces 'despertamos' a una realidad más intensa y completa. El libro examina los métodos que los seres humanos han utilizado a lo largo de la historia para inducir experiencias de despertar, incluyendo la meditación, el sexo, la naturaleza, el deporte, las drogas psicodélicas y la privación del sueño. También explora cómo los estados superiores de conciencia eran normales y naturales para algunos de los pueblos del mundo, y cómo podemos hacer que la 'vigilia' sea nuestro estado normal de nuevo.
