"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 -- create 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 Baruéss 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. Along the way, they examine the scientific literature on concepts including mediumship, out-of-body and near-death experiences, telekinesis, "apparent" versus "deep time," and mind-to-mind communication, and introduce eye-opening ideas about our shared reality. The result is a revelatory tour of the "post-materialist" world -- and a roadmap for consciousness research in the twenty-first century"--Publicity materials.

Psychology is a science and its subject-matter concerns man. With the materials of which men's bodies are built, with the genetic relation of these bodies to others in the organic kingdom, with the delineations of the courses of nerve and other currents and with the various physical events occurring in them, other sciences are concerned. In spite of much resolute treading upon the toes of these fellow-workers by many modern psychologists we must maintain that psychology's proper business is the investigation of those processes in man which we are accustomed to call conscious and of those, if any, which resemble conscious processes. In the most general terms possible, the subject-matter of psychology is that which is implied in the question: what are we? or perhaps better, what is a man? As C. K, Ogden puts it, "Conchology cannot (answer), nor yet Ontology; nor can Physics. Physiology can help us only in part. Psychology is the only means by which this momentous question can ever be fully answered." And the significance of "this momentous question" is only intensified when it is put in the concrete form in which it applies to each of us as individuals--"Who am 'I'?."
