Have you ever wondered what makes us, humans, such complex creatures, and why of all living things, we're the only ones who are self-aware?
Have you wanted to explore the hidden secrets of your mind, striving to understand the endless potential your brain has to offer?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to unlock the full power of your brain and achieve a better understanding and a sense of unity with yourself and everything around you?
The answer to your questions lies in one fascinating concept--human consciousness.
Ever since humans acquired the ability to think and understand, we have been looking for answers to the meaning of our existence--we knew that we could make sense of what's around us, but we never managed to fully grasp how and why that was possible.
Despite great progress in that direction in recent studies of neuroscience where researchers were able to associate various higher mental functions to different parts of the brain, the question of whether consciousness is actually in the brain, or if it's an experience outside our body, remains as elusive as ever.
The quest to understand consciousness has, and always will, remain one of the biggest mysteries of our existence.
Some have contended with accepting the limitations of the brain to fully comprehend it, while others have turned to spirituality to find meaning in the vastness of human experience.
Wherever you may be on that scale, armed with an inner sense of insatiable curiosity and a true desire to fully grasp everything that humanity knows about its own consciousness, you'll get all the knowledge you need to better understand yourself, as well as the reality that surrounds you.
In Understanding the Human Mind, you will discover:
● The power we've been entitled to through evolution, and what you can do with it to better understand your own mind
● A plethora of fascinating philosophies that try to make sense of the human mind and understand how it experiences the world
● How psychology built further on those theories to attempt to heal the world from mental ailments
● What an altered state of consciousness is, and how it can unlock the hidden secrets of your mind
● The one science that got so close to understanding what consciousness is and the implications of that on the understanding of our existence
● How the esoteric Eastern spirituality influenced philosophies of the West, and how it transformed the understanding of higher states of consciousness and enlightenment
And much more.
Understanding the fundamental functions of what makes us human is the ultimate power we can achieve.
With such deep knowledge of ourselves and our surroundings, we can alter our perception of the world to our advantage and become the version of ourselves we've always wanted to be.
