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\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hay House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781401928704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.38w x 0.81d","brand":"Steve Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649570435228,"sku":"9781401928704","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a476d5e6-67e9-46b4-b3b3-d4a18daeeebc.jpg?v=1603873186","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/waking-from-sleep-why-awakening-experiences-occur-and-how-to-make-them-permanent-9781401928704","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
