“Allan Combs has written the finest book on consciousness in modern times, bar none. I give it my very highest recommendation.”
—Ken Wilber, The Integral Vision

"I want to recommend Allan Combs' Consciousness Explained Better. In insightful yet easy-to-understand language, Allan explores the many facets of consciousness: its historical evolution, its growth in the individual, its mystical dimensions, and (huzzah!) the meaning of enlightenment Combs' angle is unashamedly mystical, in that mind is not merely viewed as epiphenomena, emerging from the material stuff of brains. Rather it is an integral part of cosmos itself. Speaking of Integral, for folks who are still befuddled by the integral model, you'll find here a good intro to the whole notion, including lines, streams, stages and so on. By the way, this is the fellow who developed the "Wilber/ Combs" matrix, which you'll also discover find here.
A valuable book!" —Robert Forman, Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up to Be

At most times during the history of Western civilization, mere possession
of this book would have earned the reader a visit from the town magistrate
or the local Inquisitor; the publisher’s hands would have been cut off;
and the book itself, along with its author, would have been righteously
consigned to the flames! Crimes of Perception is an encyclopedic
collection of the ideas, persons, and practices that, over the centuries,
have been judged by the arbiters of religious orthodoxy to be too dangerous
for lay people to know about.

"The Genocidal Mind is particularly focused upon the Holocaust, yet the valuable insight gained is directly applicable to a wide variety of genocidal and potentially genocidal individuals and situations.

The Ghosts of Consciousness: Thought and the Spiritual Path details an entirely new theory of the micro-dynamics of thinking and self-awareness. At bottom, it outlines a phenomenologically-based structure of the “parts” of any given thought which is so clarifying, and possesses so much explanatory power, that it lends itself to definitions of ten types of thought, understanding how “reflective thoughts” interconnect and create increasingly acute and expansive forms of self-awareness across their development, and to distinctions regarding the phenomenologies of varied experiences of self; all of which is placed within a transpersonal developmental hierarchy.

Living with OCD is not for sissies. J.J. Keeler proves that. From her fears of the bomb in her teddy bear to her fear of running over innocent pedestrians, to her fear that she has caused a strangulation, she tells her story in a way that allows us to see inside her disease and to see that she has not lost her sense of humor. This light-hearted yet serious and comforting look at OCD lets some light into the closet of sufferers. This book is for those with OCD or who love someone with OCD, and for those who would like to know what it’s like to live with the daily challenges of OCD.

This book presents a new and logical solution to the “hard problem” of how consciousness and brain are related. The argument rests upon how the seeing-of-an-image is actually a probabilistic event in relation to infinity and/or one’s potential nonexistence – a perspective whereby an immersive image can be envisioned as minimizing disorder and maximizing energy sufficiency while, equivalently, optimizing the "big-enoughness" of the observing self.
