He provides what is perhaps the first-ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or \"awakening experiences.\"This work delves into: the methods we human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, sports, psychedelic drugs, and sleep deprivation; how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world's peoples (and still are, in some cases); and how we can make \"wakefulness\" our normal state again.By fully explaining awakening experiences, the author makes them much more accessible, which may lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Taylor, \u003c\/b\u003e the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fall\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMaking Time, \u003c\/i\u003e is a teacher whose main interests are spirituality and psychology.
