Book overview
What if the greatest crisis facing our civilization isn't just what's breaking down in our world - but what we've fundamentally misunderstood about ourselves and the nature of reality?
First published in 1977, Inner Spaces: Parapsychological Explorations of the Mind, was a pioneering exploration of consciousness and the scientific evidence that the mind is far more expansive than conventional science assumes.
Fifty years later, multiple award-winning author and scientist Howard Eisenberg, M.D., returns to that extraordinary inquiry with a new and very powerful Foreword.
This book is being republished now because of these dark times of catastrophic global climate change, species extinctions, dehumanizing technologies, and toxic divisiveness. The new Foreword proposes a radically challenging explanation - these are not separate existential crises, but symptoms of a deeper crisis - a fundamental misunderstanding of reality itself.
Eisenberg challenges two deeply embedded assumptions - that consciousness is merely a byproduct of the physical brain, and that human beings are simply 'machines made of meat' adrift in a meaningless universe.
The implications are profound. If our civilization has indeed based its values, institutions, and technologies, on an incorrect conception of humankind and our place in the greater reality, then the alarming 'polycrisis' requires a radical transformation of how we understand and work with consciousness - the How & Why of our being alive here on Earth!
This historic 50th Anniversary Edition features the original Inner Spaces with the addition of a provocative new Foreword sharing the culmination of fifty years of subsequent research and discoveries about the convergence of science and spirituality.
