We need to feel our way (rather than just 'know our way') to a more sustainable and peaceful world. Anyone who wants to be part of the solution rather than part of today's problem should read this gem of a book. --Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field Christian de Quincey takes us right to the metaphysical heart of relationship, and, in doing so, pushes back the frontiers of consciousness. --Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., author of Conscious Loving and Lasting Love In Radical Knowing Christian de Quincey makes a provocative claim: We are not who we think we are. Instead, we are what we feel. Giving disciplined attention to feelings reveals the most fundamental fact of life and reality: We are our relationships. Most of us think we are individuals first and foremost who then come together to form relationships. De Quincey turns this obvious fact on its head and shows that relationship comes first, and that our individual sense of self--our private consciousness--actually arises from shared consciousness. This shared, collective consciousness is at the heart of indigenous ways of life and their worldviews. De Quincey explains that participating in shared consciousness literally builds the fabric of reality, and that understanding this process is key to unlocking our potential for higher consciousness and spiritual evolution. He presents the technique of Bohmian Dialogue, developed by groundbreaking quantum physicist David Bohm, as one method for experiencing this powerful process. He also explores the mystery of synchronicity, offering a new understanding of the relationship between matter and mind and the underlying nature of reality. CHRISTIAN DE QUINCEY, PH.D., is a professor of consciousness studies at John F. Kennedy University; cofounder of The Visionary Edge, committed to transforming global consciousness by trans-forming mass media; and an international speaker on consciousness, cosmology, and spirituality. He is also the award-winning author of Radical Nature and the coauthor of The Scientific Exploration of Consciousness. He lives in Half Moon Bay, California.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645362381073,"sku":"GOR005996666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50480332865809,"sku":"CIN1594770794G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51684060332305,"sku":"GOR011298336","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51717131796753,"sku":"CIN1594770794VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52110409466129,"sku":"GOR014461752","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594770794.jpg?v=1751408411"},{"product_id":"blindspots-book-christian-de-quincey-9781620554463","title":"BlindSpots","description":"We live in a world filled with cliche-convenient assumptions and unquestioned conclusions that many of us use without giving them a second thought. We all spread these \"thought viruses,\" infecting everyone we come in contact with. But many of these blindspots in how we think about ourselves and the world do not withstand rigorous scrutiny--or even casual scrutiny in some cases--yet they fall out of the mouths of scientists, religious teachers, journalists, and authors with dumbfounding frequency.   Over the years philosopher Christian de Quincey spotted these cognitive gremlins in books, blogs, websites, TV shows, movies, classrooms, and casual conversations--and he wondered: Why do so many people speak before thinking, spreading ideas that make no sense, yet fool us into thinking they do? How did these unquestioned beliefs about life, space, time, energy, consciousness, evolution, artificial intelligence, and even God take hold in our collective consciousness?   In this book, de Quincey deliberately provokes and illuminates the dark side of jumping to conclusions, casting a skeptical eye on 21 beliefs that keep science, philosophy, and spirituality in the dark--from \"the universe exploded from nothing in a Big Bang\" and \"we create our own reality\" to \"nobody knows what consciousness is\" and \"everything is energy.\" These ideas distort and block our understanding and openness to important questions about life, the universe, mind, matter, God, and the miraculous.   By exposing these thought viruses that take our minds hostage when we fail to think things through, de Quincey aims to help change the way we think not just about thinking but also about how we live our lives, interact with others, and contemplate the world around us.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49652370211089,"sku":"GOR007498590","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800732803345,"sku":"CIN1620554461G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1620554461.jpg?v=1750763909"},{"product_id":"radical-nature-book-christian-de-quincey-9781594773402","title":"Radical Nature","description":"PSYCHOLOGY \/ SELF-TRANSFORMATION One of the most important books on consciousness and cosmology to appear in decades. Anyone interested in questions about soul and nature, about the relationship between consciousness and the world of matter, about meaning in the universe, needs to read it. --Brian Swimme, Ph.D., cosmologist, coauthor of The Universe Story, and author of The Universe Is a Green Dragon Christian de Quincey is a thoughtful and well-informed writer whose articles in the Noetic Sciences Review and elsewhere represent some of the best writing in this field. Radical Nature provides a comprehensive overview to modern debates about the nature of consciousness. It will appeal to thoughtful readers. --Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., author of Morphic Resonance Are rocks conscious? Do animals or plants have souls? Can trees feel pleasure or pain? Where in the great unfolding of life did consciousness first appear? How we answer such questions can dramatically affect the way we live our lives, how we treat the world of nature, and even how we relate to our own bodies. In this new edition of the award-winning Radical Nature, Christian de Quincey explores the hard problem of philosophy--how mind and matter are related--and proposes a radical and surprising answer: that matter itself tingles with consciousness at the deepest level. It's there in the cells of every living creature, even in molecules and atoms. Tracing the lineage of this idea through Western philosophy and science, he shows that it has a very noble history--from before Plato to Alfred North Whitehead. He reveals that the way to God is through nature and that understanding how body and soul fit together has surprising consequences for our relationships with our environment, with other people, and even with ourselves. CHRISTIAN DE QUINCEY, Ph.D., is a professor of philosophy and consciousness studies at John F. Kennedy University, dean of consciousness studies at the University of Philosophical Research, founder of The Wisdom Academy, and an international speaker on consciousness, cosmology, and spirituality. He is the author of Radical Knowing, Consciousness from Zombies to Angels, and a novel, Deep Spirit.

Visions and dreams of millions are about to become reality with a shift in global consciousness. The key: a worldwide quest for the noetic code, a new way of knowing that builds on the ancient wisdom traditions of shamans, the perennial philosophy of mystics, and the profound insights of modern science. But the quest is threatened by a powerful force determined to keep the Great Dream down. Corporate greed and consumerism have pushed the planet to the brink of ecological collapse. Something needs to change, and fast. 'Jurassic Park' brought to life the power of the genetic code, and scared us with 60-million-year-old dinosaur genes. Now, 'Deep Spirit' inspires us with a 14-billion-year-old echo from the Big Bang, and opens up the secrets of the noetic code-the way to higher intelligence and a sane and safer world. There's no bigger story.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49725778362641,"sku":"CIN0615215572G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004786606353,"sku":"NIN9780615215570","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51505423024401,"sku":"GOR011218797","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53231654633745,"sku":"CIN0615215572VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0615215572.jpg?v=1766657440"},{"product_id":"consciousness-from-zombies-to-angels-book-christian-de-quincey-9781594772535","title":"Consciousness from Zombies to Angels","description":"PSYCHOLOGY \/ SELF-HELP In clear, accessible language, Christian de Quincey unpacks the mysteries of consciousness and how it works, taking the subject off the philosopher's shelf and placing it into the hands of the masses. Anyone reading this book will likely experience a change of view and a shift in their experience of consciousness--bringing them one step closer to reconnecting with their authentic self and the cosmos. Take some time and savor this feast of the mind and heart. --Harville Hendrix, author of Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples Consciousness from Zombies to Angels presents a practical, step-by-step owner's guide for the mind that sorts out philosophy's hardest problem, science's final frontier, and spirituality's deepest mystery--what consciousness is, how it works, and why it's important. Christian de Quincey provides seven simple steps for understanding consciousness and how it can lead to spiritual awareness: observe your language, identify the problem, learn how to look, recognize your patterns, know yourself, embrace your shadow, and practice transformation. All of us exhibit both shadow and light, aspects of ourselves we fear and deny (our inner zombies) as well as qualities we admire and want to radiate (our inner angels). The key to a creative and fulfilled life is to integrate both. De Quincey reveals that the way to transformation is to accept ourselves exactly as we are--a work in progress. Readers will learn the difference between energy talk and consciousness talk; how the body affects the mind, and vice versa; and where to go for help to develop consciousness, heal emotions, or grow spiritually. De Quincey shows how to recognize and break habits and patterns that run your life, how to find out who you really are, and why facing up to your darkest fears will liberate your brightest light as you learn to embrace all of your humanity and experience the power of transformation.
