An exploration of cutting-edge theories on the electromagnetic
basis of consciousness * Details, in nontechnical terms, 12
credible theories, each published by prominent professionals with
extensive scientific credentials, that describe how electromagnetic
fields may be the basis for consciousness * Examines practical
applications of electromagnetic-consciousness theory, including the
use of contemporary brain stimulation devices to modify and enhance
consciousness * Explores the work of William Koehler, Susan
Pockett, Johnjoe McFadden, Rupert Sheldrake, Ervin Laszlo, William
Tiller, Harold Saxton Burr, Sir Roger Penrose, Stuart Hameroff,
Mari Jibu, Kunio Yasue, Karl Pribram, Alfred North Whitehead, and
James Clerk Maxwell, as well as the author's own theories In this
scientific exploration of the origin of consciousness, Shelli Renee
Joye, Ph.D., explores 12 credible theories, each published by
prominent professionals with extensive scientific credentials, that
describe how electricity in the form of electromagnetic fields is
the living consciousness that runs through the brain. Each of these
theories supports the idea that the electromagnetic field itself is
the basis of consciousness and that this source of consciousness
peers out into the space-time universe through our human sensory
systems, flowing with awareness throughout the bloodstream and
nervous system. Following her exploration of
electromagnetic-consciousness theories, Joye then examines
practical applications, describing how electric fields might be
manipulated and controlled to modify and enhance the operation of
consciousness in the human brain. She explores the use of
contemporary brain stimulation devices that offer benefits such as
decreased addiction cravings and anxiety, reduced depression and
chronic pain, enhanced mathematical abilities, accelerated
learning, and greater insight during mindfulness meditation.
Revealing the cutting edge of consciousness studies, Joye shows
that consciousness is not an isolated function of the individual
brain but is connected to the larger electromagnetic field that not
only encompasses the entire physical universe but also is deeply
involved in the creation of matter and the material world.
A useful manual for any magician or curious spectator who wonders
why the tricks seem so real, this guide examines the psychological
aspects of a magician's work. Exploring the ways in which human
psychology plays into the methods of conjuring rather than focusing
on the individual tricks alone, this explanation of the general
principles of magic includes chapters on the use of misdirection,
sleight of hand, and reconstruction, provides a better
understanding of this ancient art, and offers a section on psychics
that warns of their deceptive magic skills.
