图书简介
Transcendental Medication considers why human brains evolved to have consciousness, yet we spend much of our time trying to reduce our awareness. It outlines how limiting consciousness—rather than expanding it—is more functional and satisfying for most people, most of the time. The suggestion is that our brains evolved mechanisms to deal with the stress of awareness in concert with awareness itself - otherwise it is too costly to handle. Defining dissociation as ‘partitioning of awareness’, Lynn touches on disparate cultural and psychological practices such as religion, drug use, 12-step programs, and dancing. The chapters draw on biological and cultural studies of Pentecostal speaking in tongues and stress, the results of our 800,000+ years watching hearth and campfires, and unconscious uses of self-deception as mating strategy. Written in a highly engaging style, this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in mind, altered states of consciousness, and evolution, from cultural, biological, psychological and cognitive anthropology as well as evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and religious studies.
