Dark Pool Of Light, Volume One

In books like Embryogenesis and Embryos, Galaxies, and Sentient Beings, author Richard Grossinger brought together the subjects of biological embryology and the esoteric process of human consciousness becoming embodied ("The embryo is the universe writing itself on its own body"). In Dark Pool of Light, his latest creation, Grossinger weaves neuroscience-based behaviorism and the phenomenology of "being" and reality together with psychological and psychospiritual views of "that single thing which is most difficult to understand or vindicate: our own existence."
 
In 2008 Grossinger began studying with noted psychic teacher John Friedlander, who helped him refine his vision of cerebral and somatic awareness to still-subtler levels. "Dark Pool of Light began unnamed in the journals of my psychic work with John Friedlander," says Grossinger, "not so much a record of actual practices as insights from them and extensions out of them." An expansive inquiry into the nature of consciousness, the series examines the tension between the scientific and philosophical, and psychic views of the same phenomena, and includes "field notes" and experiential exercises that invite the reader to make their own explorations.
 
Dark Pool of Light is divided into three volumes, which the author calls "movements"; the allusion to music is apt, for the book unfolds in a truly symphonic manner. In Volume 1, Grossinger begins with the scientific and philosophical, analytical views of reality, exploring the science, parascience, philosophy, and psychology of consciousness. Covering topics as diverse as current discoveries in neuroscience and the philosophy of the ancient Greeks, the book gives a broad overview of the bodies of knowledge concerning the nature of reality and consciousness.

In carti precum Embriogeneza si Embrioni, galaxii si fiinte simtitoare, autorul Richard Grossinger a reunit subiectele embriologiei biologice si procesul esoteric al constiintei umane care se intruchipeaza („Embrionul este universul care se scrie pe propriul sau corp”). In Dark Pool of Light, ultima sa creatie, Grossinger tese un comportament bazat pe neurostiinte si fenomenologia „fiintei” si a realitatii impreuna cu puncte de vedere psihologice si psihospirituale ale „acelui lucru care este cel mai greu de inteles sau de confirmat: propria noastra existenta”. In 2008, Grossinger a inceput sa studieze cu renumitul profesor psihic John Friedlander, care l-a ajutat sa-si perfectioneze viziunea asupra constientizarii cerebrale si somatice la niveluri inca mai subtile.
