Book Description
This eminently experiential guide is based on a fundamental observation: the human brain has two ways of creating a lasting sense of inner peace and order. One is the projection of a safe physical continuity in time through thought; the other – rarely used – is timeless.
Largely neglected by the ‘founding fathers’ of Western psychology, both modes can nonetheless be directly accessed by the holistically minded observer, both in understanding the brain’s projection of temporal continuity and in responding to the countless challenges of everyday life. It is worth noting that, in the latter case, we do not always have the time to reflect carefully on the best course of action; our mind’s sudden intuitions may, in fact, prove more significant inwardly than deliberate thought.
Indeed, at any given moment, our brain has free access to both modes of perception: one delayed by rational thinking and generally considered foolproof, and the other operating in a ‘directly perceptive’ manner – a faculty often neglected by modern education, though perhaps more naturally accessible to younger people.
