An exploration of "mind design" technologies and
practices--mindapps--that boost intellectual capacity and enable
new ways of thought and action Just as we can write and install
apps in our electronic devices, we can construct "mindapps" and
install them in our brain-mind complex, and as just as digital apps
add capabilities to our devices, mindapps can expand our mental
powers and creative abilities, allowing us to intentionally
redesign our minds. Using psychedelics as the prime example, Thomas
B. Roberts explores the many different kinds of mindapps, including
mediation, other psychoactive plants and chemicals, sensory
overload and deprivation, biofeedback and neurofeedback, hypnosis
and suggestion, sleep and lucid dreaming, creative imagery,
transcranial brain stimulation and optical brain stimulation, rites
of passage, martial arts and exercise routines, yoga, breathing
techniques, and contemplative prayer. He also looks at the future
of mindapps, the potential for new mindapps yet to be invented, and
how installing multiple mindapps can produce new, yet to be
explored mind states. Drawing on decades of research, he shows how
psychedelics in particular are "ideagens"--powerful tools for
generating new ideas and new ways of thinking. Uniting the many
forms of mindapps into one overall Multistate Mind Theory, Roberts
examines the singlestate fallacy--the myth that useful thinking
only occurs in our ordinary awake mental state--and demonstrates
the many mind-body states we are capable of. He shows how mindapps
not only allow us to design and redesign our own minds but also
offer benefits for artistic performance, mystical and spiritual
experience, and scientific research by improving creativity,
open-mindedness, problem solving, and inner-brain connections.
Reformulating how we think about the human mind, Mindapps unveils
the new multistate landscape of the mind and how we can each enter
the world of mind design.
