Summary

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

In this book, Imants Barušs 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, “apparent” vs. “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.

Author Biography

Imants Barušs, PhD, is a professor of psychology at King's University College at Western University Canada, where he has been teaching undergraduate courses about consciousness for 29 years.
 
His research has focused on the fundamental nature of consciousness, and he has had academic papers published not only in consciousness journals but also in psychology, philosophy, physics, mathematics, anthropology, and other science journals.
 
He is the author of five previous books, including Authentic Knowing: The Convergence of Science and Spiritual Aspiration and Alterations of Consciousness: An Empirical Analysis for Social Scientists.
 
Julia Mossbridge, PhD, is an experimental psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and a Visiting Scholar in Psychology at Northwestern University.
 
She pursues an understanding of time, especially in terms of the relationships between conscious and nonconscious processing of events. In 2014, she received the Charles Honorton Integrative Contributions award for her work in bringing the phenomenon of presentiment to the mainstream.
 
Dr. Mossbridge is the author of Unfolding: The Science of Your Soul's Work and the upcoming mystical/philosophical adventure The Garden: An Inside Experiment.
