An all-star lineup of scientists takes you to the front lines of brain research. Are we born to be shy? Why do we remember some events so clearly and others not at all? Are creativity and depression somehow linked? Do our dreams really have deeper meanings? Now in paperback, here is a wonderfully accessible introduction to the most important recent findings about how our health, behavior, feelings, and identities are influenced by what goes on inside our brains. In this timely book, eight pioneering researchers offer lively and stimulating discussions on the most exciting discoveries as well as a new way of understanding our emotions, moods, memories, and dreams. Inside, you'll find: * J. ALLAN HOBSON, author of the groundbreaking The Dreaming Brain, leading a tour of dream states and explaining why we dream and what dream studies reveal about our minds * ERIC KANDEL, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine, taking us along the chain of biological events that create long-term memories, revealing how we stand at the brink of helping those who suffer from grave mental and memory disorders * STEVEN HYMAN, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, tracing the links between nature and nurture, particularly in addiction and mental illness, to explain the relationship between inherited tendencies and the impact of life experience * KAY REDFIELD JAMISON, bestselling author of An Unquiet Mind, explaining manic depression, its prevalence among gifted artists, writers, and musicians, and the societal questions raised by trying to eradicate the "depression gene" . . . and much, much more. Whether discussing the brain-body connection, the sources of emotion, or the ethereal world of dreams, States of Mind enables you to share in the very latest explorations into the nature and function of the human mind....

What altered states of consciousness—the dissolution of feelings of time and self—can tell us about the mystery of consciousness. During extraordinary moments of consciousness—shock, meditative states and sudden mystical revelations, out-of-body experiences, or drug intoxication—our senses of time and self are altered; we may even feel time and self dissolving. These experiences have long been ignored by mainstream science, or considered crazy fantasies. Recent research, however, has located the neural underpinnings of these altered states of mind. In this book, neuropsychologist Marc Wittmann shows how experiences that disturb or widen our everyday understanding of the self can help solve the mystery of consciousness. Wittmann explains that the relationship between consciousness of time and consciousness of self is close; in extreme circumstances, the experiences of space and self intensify and weaken together. He considers the emergence of the self in waking life and dreams; how our sense of time is distorted by extreme situations ranging from terror to mystical enlightenment; the experience of the moment; and the loss of time and self in such disorders as depression, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Dostoyevsky reported godly bliss during epileptic seizures; neurologists are now investigating the phenomenon of the epileptic aura. Wittmann describes new studies of psychedelics that show how the brain builds consciousness of self and time, and discusses pilot programs that use hallucinogens to treat severe depression, anxiety, and addiction. If we want to understand our consciousness, our subjectivity, Wittmann argues, we must not be afraid to break new ground. Studying altered states of consciousness leads us directly to the heart of the matter: time and self, the foundations of consciousness....

With Forewords by Albert Einstein - Recently Discovered - Electrons that become 'Entangled' learn about a partner Electron and never forget. Is this the first level of Consciousness in the universe? The author - Scientist, Michael Mathiesen believes it is and has penned an easy to understand explanation of the latest Particle Physics that shows how we are all 'FOOLED' by the smallest things in the universe on a daily basis - even minute by minute. If you have ever wondered why it is so difficult to overcome your "FATE" - this may be the book for you. The book is the most intense and detailed explanation of how the universe is formed that you will ever encounter. However, at the same time, the concepts are made extremely easy to understand. Albert Einstein said: "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." In other words, when you strip out all of the abstract mathematical junk about how things work, the basic concepts are easy to understand for anyone, not only Einstein and this author proves Einstein correct by showing how easy it is. When you fully understand the 4 States of Consciousness, your life becomes your own. Until you learn about the 4 states, your life will continue along at the mercy of random events. Do you feel it's time to take control of your life on an even higher plane of existence? If so, this may be the book for you. However, you should read this book only if you are curious about the basic foundation of the universe - how it's made - and why it is made the way it is. The author makes the case nicely that the entire reason the universe is made the way it is - is exclusively to support life. AND - You are included. If you are interested in your life and how it goes, this is the book for you. If you have no interest in life on Earth and in the universe as a whole, would like more information about the Creator, then this is NOT the book for you. It all starts at the Electronic State of Consciousness, literally, the electrons that are at home in your brain and make up your 'mind'. This moves up to the Rotational State of Consciousness, the energy created by billions upon billions of electrons that swirl about to form the atoms that make up your own life and the life of all other things. This moves up to the Vibrational State of Consciousness, the atoms revolving around each other to form the molecules that are the fundamental building blocks of all the mechanisms of you. The Vibrational State of Consciousness resonates throughout the universe in the form of 'Music'. When you feel it, you're there. All of this culminates in the 4th and highest state of Consciousness - the Feedback Loop. You know the 'Feedback Loop' as your ego. The 'I', the self. When you sense the world around you and make judgments about it, react to it, plan for the events in your life, doing whatever comes naturally every day, this is the 'Feedback Loop' where your own reactions to the trials in your life everyday is recorded. The 'Feedback' you give to the Source is what it's all about and why you were placed on this planet at this particular time. Giving greater and greater feedback, brings its own rewards. The proof of the theory is that predictions made by the theory are shown by others. Take the Final Proof challenge and apply these concepts in your own life. My prediction is that your life will improve beyond your wildest dreams. If so, all we ask is that you publish your own results in the form of a review. Learn how we're all part of the Feedback Loop, the 4th and highest state of Consciousness....

States of Matter, States of Mind is an easy-to-read introduction to the way the physical world is put together and stays together. The book presents the fundamental ideas and particles of the makeup of the universe to enable understanding of matter and why it behaves in the way it does. Written in an engaging manner, the book explains some of the intricate details and grand schemes of life and the universe, by making analogies with common everyday examples. For example, the recipe for a cake tells us nothing of how good the cake tastes, but is a model of the food, and a scientific model is no closer to the reality of the materials than a recipe is to the mouth-watering flavor of the cake. Illustrated with helpful cartoons, this book provides a vast knowledge of atoms and atmospheres. The first several chapters introduce terms and fundamental ideas while later chapters deal successively with particles and systems, from the electron to the universe as a system. Each new idea introduced builds upon the last. A user-friendly bibliography provides references for further reading....
