The Natural Trajectory of Human Consciousness: Ten Speculative...

Anyone interested in reading about the philosophy of mind but in a non-boring way may find this a worthwhile read.“These narratives take readers on metaphysical journeys worthy of the most surreal Carlos Castaneda novel or David Lynch movie.” -ReedsyDiscoveryThrough a series of strange tales, the author speculates on the nature of consciousness. It isn’t an easy read and contains a lot of introspection and deep thought. Some of the stories are dark yet profound. The metaphysical is a realm many have wished to explore, and this book offers just such an opportunity.A man having died finds himself caught in layers of dreams. Will he finally be reunited with the love of his life? A woman who kills a man to quiet her mind must confront the act of killing in old age after her awareness has been stripped bare by the passage of time. Having been undermined by illnesses, a man discovers a backdoor in the body that leads to where all his hopes and dreams are buried. Will a dying woman finally come face-to-face with the bright light of her consciousness? Also in the mix are an old man who gets lost in a dollhouse and a young man who turns into a lizard and discovers the taste of rain.
