Awaken! explores consciousness in an era when we are waking up. Drawing from quantum physics, astrophysics, neuroscience, ancient history, religious symbolism, altered consciousness states, fractal geometry, psychology, and the author's own experiences, musings, and deductions, Awaken! integrates disparate concepts to shed new light on what cognitive scientists call "the hard problem of consciousness" . We spend most of our time sleepwalking, never realizing we have control over what we experience. We think we are in control when we are not. Dr. Ulbrich puts you back in the driver's seat by taking you on an exploration into your deepest self. Along the way, you'll examine the nature of reality, time and how it is altered when we shift our consciousness. Dr. Ulbrich comes from a rigorous scientific background. His love of the sciences is evident in his writing. He has a unique knack for clearly explaining scientific concepts in layman's terms, as well as a knack for blending scientific, spiritual, and philosophical concepts into a meaningful whole that opens a pathway to personal growth and spirituality. Dr. Ulbrich provides a unique perspective on consciousness, as well as concrete examples, ideas, and exercises that assist you in waking up to the fact that what you experience is essentially a dream, and then proceeds with ideas about how to awaken from the dream itself. Awaken! is a must-read for anyone on the pathway to conscious living.
