Explores how emotion underlies personality, triggers the
development of non-ordinary states and perceptions, and connects
all life * Shows how the flow of our emotions shapes individual
minds and personalities * Reveals the significant role of emotion
in PTSD, alexithymia (not knowing what one is feeling), autism,
savantism, synesthesia (overlapping senses), deja vu, phantom pain,
migraines, and extreme empathy * Looks at the emotional lives of
animals, demonstrating how life-threatening emergencies can trigger
amazing sensitivities and abilities in them Emotion, as it exists
within and between people, underpins personality, spirituality, and
a range of extraordinary perceptions, conditions, and experiences.
These include deja vu, phantom pain, post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), and extreme empathy, where people instantaneously feel the
physical or emotional pain of another. Many gifted children, those
with synesthesia, and people with autism--not to mention highly
sensitive people in general--report forms of innate "knowing" and
even paranormal experiences. In this exploration of the role of
emotion in non-ordinary states and abilities, Michael Jawer shows
how the flow of our emotions and those of the people around us
greatly influences the development of exceptional capacities and
sensitivities. Drawing on a range of scientific studies, Jawer
explores how 5 remarkable kinds of people--individuals with autism,
synesthesia, savantism, child prodigies, and children who remember
past lives--are linked through the biology of emotion and how a
hidden emotional intensity underlies both autism and anomalous
perception. He examines the psychological concept of thin and thick
boundaries and how those with thin boundaries--those who are more
environmentally sensitive--have a greater predisposition toward
empathy, synesthesia, psi abilities, and extraordinary states of
perception. Sharing extraordinary examples, the author explores how
strong emotion may endure through time and space, possibly even
after death. He also looks at the emotional lives of animals, our
soulful connections with them, and how life- threatening
emergencies can trigger amazing sensitivities and abilities in our
fellow creatures. Revealing the unseen role of emotion in mind and
personality, Jawer shows that emotion is the binding force that
connects us with one another, with all of life, and with nature
itself.
