Editorial Reviews
Review
This book proposes an "ecological civilization," one that reflects the impending climate changes of the twenty-first century. In recent years there has been a plethora of books and articles on this topic. What is new about this volume is its link to exceptional human experiences, especially those anomalies that cannot be easily reconciled with mainstream science's understanding of time, space, and energy. The extraordinary suggestion of the chapter authors is that the concepts and data from transpersonal psychology and parapsychology, long rejected, ridiculed, or ignored by mainstream science, are the very resources needed to reorient this endangered world and its tattered societies. Stanley Kripper, From the Foreword
"The reductionistic methods of modern materialism work well when it comes to explaining the operation of pendulum clocks and combustion engines. But when it comes to consciousness, reductionism comes up stunningly short. The materialistic picture of the universe simply leaves consciousness out, relegating it to the status of an improbable anomaly But students of Alfred North Whitehead's organic philosophy know what is required to give consciousness its proper place in the universe. As these authors show, once we have fully inhabited Whitehead's creative and enchanted vision of the cosmos, what at first seemed parapsychological in the context of a mechanistic universe may turn out to be entirely normal features of a now Whiteheadian psychology. Matthew T. Segall, Professor, California Institute of Integral Studies

I read Rethinking Consciousness concurrently with the earlier published Lost Symbol, a book which actually fleshes out in dramatic form some of the abstract concepts in Rethinking Consciousness. Noetic data season Brown’s story. This kind of information receives more elevated and disciplined discussion by the ten noted thinkers. In any event, one may well appreciate the experience of processing enlightenment from these evolving perspectives.
