"Consciousness is explored as a living stream of lucid experience composed of the essence of the moments of our lives. Grounded in Ken Wilber's model, consciousness is explained from many points of view: its historical evolution, its growth in the individual, its mystical dimensions, and the meaning of enlightenment"--Provided by publisher.
Consciousness can be defined in terms of philosophy, psychology, religion, biochemistry, and even technology. In clinical environs, it is definable. Outside the clinical realm, it is more elusive. In bite-sized pieces, Combs offers a historical view of consciousness studies, tying them to the psychology and spirituality of people as individuals, challenging the reader to grasp how consciousness goes beyond the sphere of mere sensory experience.
