{"product_id":"9781583944851","title":"Dark Pool of Light, Volume Three: The Crisis and Future of Consciousness","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn books like \u003ci\u003eEmbyogenesis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEmbryos, Galaxies, and Sentient Beings\u003c\/i\u003e, author Richard Grossinger brought together the subjects of biological embryology and the esoteric process of human consciousness becoming embodied (\"The embryo is the universe writing itself on its own body\"). 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 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This expansive inquiry into the nature of consciousness ends with this third volume in the series, \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis and Future of Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e. Grossinger addresses the perennial question of evil and shares the author's hopes and fears for the future of humanity. While wisdom gleaned from such seemingly disparate sources as science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality might appear \"very, very different things,\" Grossinger nevertheless finds their meeting place in subjective, lived experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055080161520,"sku":"9781583944851","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781583944851_p0.jpg?v=1763796494","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781583944851","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
