Mysteries of the Mind: Two Astonishing Articles that Solve the Mystery – hinnat ja saatavuus

Despite centuries of scientific study and philosophical debate, the structure, function, and seemingly unlimited potential of the human mind continue to be a mystery. The brain has been studied anatomically, chemically, and physiologically, yet the medical field is still no closer to understanding the mind than it was a century ago. That's because most of the astounding abilities that belong to the mind have mistakenly been attributed to the brain. The brain is merely a computer in the head that records, integrates, and plays back information that it receives from the mind and the body. The two articles presented in this book, written by the neuropsychiatrist who published the first comprehensive psychophysiological hypothesis of psychiatric disorders, provide clinical, anatomical, and electrophysiological evidence that the mind and the brain are distinctly different but tightly integrated entities that continuously interact with each other as they process information from the environment, govern the body, and encode memories. In the first article, the precise location of the mind deep within the brain is identified, and its dynamic relationship with the brain is used to explain a number of heretofore inexplicable phenomena including learning, memory, unconscious thought, abnormal thought, dissociative states, and out-of-body experiences. In the second article, the mind-brain relationship is used to explain near-death experiences and to provide a precise definition for the mysterious divide between life and death. Although scientifically-sound in their logic, these articles transcend science because they incorporate that which cannot be seen with the eye or analyzed with physical instrumentation; they incorporate the spiritual element or "soul" of a human being. From this more anatomically and functionally compete perspective, they supply answers to some of the most challenging questions in the fields of psychological, psychiatry, and neurology.
