In \u003ci\u003eDark Pool of Light\u003c\/i\u003e, his three-volume series of books discussing the nature of reality and consciousness, Grossinger weaves neuroscience-based behaviorism and the phenomenology of \"being\" and reality together with psychological and psychospiritual views of \"that single thing which is most difficult to understand or vindicate: our own existence.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In Volume 1, Grossinger begins with the scientific and philosophical, analytical views of reality; the subtitle of that volume is \u003ci\u003eThe Neuroscience, Evolution, and Ontology of Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e. In Volume 2, \u003ci\u003eConsciousness in Psychospiritual and Psychic Ranges\u003c\/i\u003e, he examines psychic sensitivity and planes of existence from diverse experiential perspectives, including theosophy and Buddhism. In 2008, Grossinger began studying with noted psychic teacher John Friedlander, who helped him refine his vision of cerebral and somatic awareness to still-subtler levels. \"\u003ci\u003eDark Pool of Light\u003c\/i\u003e began unnamed in the journals of my psychic work with John Friedlander,\" says Grossinger, \"not so much a record of actual practices as insights from them and extensions out of them.\" An expansive inquiry into the nature of consciousness, this volume includes these \"field notes\" and observations from Grossinger's studies in the imaginal psychic realm, as well as exercises to invite the reader to experience these dimensions for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051264852208,"sku":"9781583944844","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781583944844_p0.jpg?v=1763799636","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781583944844","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
