We fill in the gaps with \"unconscious inferences\" - assumptions, categorizations, expectations and habituations that allow us to operate in the world, but that limit our perception of what is, and what is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing beyond the theory that creative impulses originate in the right side of the brain and rational impulses in the left, he shows how a synthesis of these two functions can bring about \"a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrnstein proposes that education at all levels should now include learning and teaching about our human nature - the nature of the person being taught. Offering far more than scholarly discourse, he enriches his presentation with thought-provoking illustrations and traditional teachings stories that bring the science to life, giving readers a first-hand taste of what such education might be like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly with the development of self-knowledge and the cultivation of a comprehensive, expanded consciousness, he says, will humanity be able to perceive and take the \"selfless\" steps necessary to solve our collective problems. This new edition comes at a time when on a global scale we need this type of thinking more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52734504010035,"sku":"9781949358988","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/d2tyMDJFaWd1dlNoM3VQMWhVSW50UT09.webp?v=1763967876","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-psychology-of-consciousness-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
