Transcendent Mind

"Where does consciousness come from? For most scientists and laypeople, it is axiomatic that something in the substance of the brain — neurons, synapses and gray matter in just the right combination -- creates perception, self-awareness, and intentionality. Yet, despite decades of neurological research, that "something" -- the mechanism by which this process is said to occur -- has remained frustratingly elusive. This is no accident, as the authors of this book argue, given that the evidence increasingly points to a startling fact: Consciousness may not, in fact, reside in the brain at all. In this wide-ranging and deeply scientific book, Imants Barus̆s and Julia Mossbridge utilize findings from special relativity and quantum mechanics, modern and ancient philosophers, and paranormal psychology to build a rigorous, detailed investigation into the origins and nature of human consciousness." -- Publisher's description
