This groundbreaking book relates consciousness to brain physiology, cultural symbols and rituals, and the experience of contemplatives.

The authors first describe the brain in detail, suggesting how these structures are involved in making sense impressions meaningful. Maintaining that trained introspection is an important source of information for the science of consciousness at its present stage, the authors offer a new description of human experience that unites the perspectives of the neurobiologist, the shaman, and the meditator.
