Journey to the Centers of the Mind
Author: Susan Greenfield
Publisher: W H Freeman & Company
ISBN: 9780716727231
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
How do our personalities and mental processes, our " states of consciousness" , derive from a gray mass of tissue with the consistency of a soft-boiled egg? How can mere molecules constitute an idea or emotion? Some of the most important questions we can ask are about our own consciousness. Our personalities, our individuality, indeed our whole reason for living, lie in the brain and in the elusive phenomenon of consciousness it generates. Thinkers in many disciplines have long struggled with such questions, often in ways that have seemed incompatible, if not downright contradictory. Philosophers have meditated on the subjective experience of consciousness, with little attention to the physical realm, while scientists have sought to establish a causal relation between brain function and mind, often ignoring the qualitative aspects of experience. In Journey to the Centers of the Mind, neuroscientist Susan Greenfield offers an intriguing, unifying theory of consciousness that encompasses both phenomenological mental events and physical aspects of brain function. Using information gathered from clues in animal behavior, human brain damage, computer science, neurobiology, and philosophy, Greenfield offers a " concentric theory" of consciousness, and shows how certain events in the brain correspond to our qualitative experience of the world. Demonstrating the ways in which we can interpret the experience of consciousness in terms of interactions among neurons, she explores how much we can learn by continuing to find the links between our physical and mental inner worlds.

Book Description
CATCH THE WAVE! Journey to the Center of the Soul (JCS) will restore your soul as it brings to light a New Wave of the Spirit which is gaining mass momentum and is about to gust into a giant Tsunami. Catch the wave! JCS Journey-ers are experiencing soul restoration and are exploding with unprecedented forms of happiness, contentment, peace, volunteerism and giving the likes of which we have not experienced since the first century church Spiritual Tsunami! JCS invites you to come and experience a “safe place”, a place where you can be “real,” and “be yourself”, where nobody is trying to fix you, where there is no judgment, no criticism, no condemnation, only grace. JCS Journey-ers will make a place where you can journey to the very center of your soul, with the Soul Master himself. Journey to the Center of the Soul has been orchestrated by God, from the very beginning, and it continues to radically facilitate the restoration, healing, teaching and recovery of the souls and thereby the spirits of all kinds of people from different types of groups, without discrimination. JCS is not a religion or even a theology, it’s a New Wave of the Spirit; that’s what makes it so powerful, so genuine and non-divisive. All seminaries, church groups or any kind of secular group will be able to “Catch the Wave”; that’s why “Journey to the Center of the Soul (JCS)” was orchestrated by God to be a “Bridge Book”, bridging all people from different kinds of groups. In an ancient text we read, “Do not be conformed to this world or shaped by the world’s damage you’ve experienced from your past hurts, bad habits, hang ups and bad addictions, but be transformed by experiencing together, a Journey to the Center of the Soul with me. Let me teach you skills and give you tools for the renewal of your souls, that by learning and “doing” you may discern and be able to do the Will of God, which is good, acceptable, nurturing, enriching and perfect, and thereby you will be transformed as you recover when you Journey to the Center of the Soul. Romans 12:2, OTB, Paraphrased.

Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos
Author: Ogi Ogas
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324006587
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Two neuroscientists reveal why consciousness exists and how it works by examining eighteen increasingly intelligent minds, from microbes to humankind—and beyond. Why do you exist? How did atoms and molecules transform into sentient creatures that experience longing, regret, compassion, and even marvel at their own existence? What does it truly mean to have a mind—to think? Science has offered few answers to these existential questions until now. Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, self-awareness, and civilization arose incrementally out of chaos. The journey begins three billion years ago with the emergence of the universe’s simplest possible mind. From there, the book explores the nanoscopic archaeon, whose thinking machinery consists of a handful of molecules, then advances through amoebas, worms, frogs, birds, monkeys, and humans, explaining what each “new” mind could do that previous minds could not. Though they admire the triumph of human consciousness, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam argue that humans are hardly the most sophisticated minds on the planet. The same physical principles that produce human self-awareness are leading cities and nation-states to develop “superminds,” and perhaps planting the seeds for even higher forms of consciousness. Written in lively, accessible language accompanied by vivid illustrations, Journey of the Mind is a mind-bending work of popular science, the first general book to share the cutting-edge mathematical basis for consciousness, language, and the self. It shows how a “unified theory of the mind” can explain the mind’s greatest mysteries—and offer clues about the ultimate fate of all minds in the universe.

The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness
Author: Mark Solms
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393542025
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
A revelatory new theory of consciousness that returns emotions to the center of mental life. For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention. The Hidden Spring will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.
