{"product_id":"9781433822773","title":"Transcendent Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere does consciousness come from? For most scientists and laypeople, it is axiomatic that something in the substance of the brain - neurons, synapses and grey 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 Baruss and Julia Mossbridge utilise 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185333043474,"sku":"9781433822773","price":160.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781433822773.jpg?v=1774735141","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781433822773","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
