An Alternate Awareness

First, this book introduces the reader to relevant brain structure and function. It presents various studies of brain activity using functional MRI’s to bolster the case that there is a neurological basis for the two types of thinking and perceiving - ego-centered and egoless. Other studies are presented that describe the neurological changes associated with mind training - meditation and mindfulness.

Second, this book details several techniques for meditation, mindfulness, and letting go, followed by a step-by-step guide applying these techniques. Through this process of strengthened and targeted concentration, the mind is deconditioned from its previous ego-centered thought patterns. This leads to the unveiling of the original egoless self and an alternate awareness of self and reality.
