Alternate Realities

Lawrence LeShan

4.9/5 (22277 ratings)

Description:Lawrence LeShan is doing some thing different here: bringing a set of sharp and indispensable tools to a topic too often shrouded in romantic vagueness. LeShan's tools are drawn from the exactitudes of philosophy--from Kant, Wittgenstein, and Cassirer--but they are carefully and clearly translated for the layman, so much so that one occasionally feels like a kindergartner addressed by an oversolicitous teacher, but ends up grateful for the repetitions, the concrete exercises and examples. LeShan says we actually structure reality according to different, self-consistent, mutually incomprehensible modes, such as the sensory (that of common sense, biological survival, and classical science), the clairvoyant (the ""seamless web""of mysticism, ESP and relativity physics), the transpsychic (in which prayer and ethics make sense), the mythic (that of art, dream, and play). We all shift among these spontaneously, unconsciously, and each nourishes different human purposes and needs; the problem (and possibly the root of war and neurosis) is that each mode labels itself ""the only."" We must learn to value and use them all.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
