Product Description
by Sophie Guellati-Salcedo (Author)
What if the way we experience life reveals more about consciousness than we have been taught to see?
Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist's Exploration of Consciousness extends the inquiry that began in Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist's Journey Beyond the Mind-Body Duality and moves into the deeper terrain of interpretation, multidimensional experience, and the evolving understanding of reality itself. Written from the perspective of a traditionally trained health psychologist whose professional path gradually opened into wider frameworks, this second volume traces how personal curiosity, clinical practice, and lived experience converge.
Part I revisits the author's early encounters with questions that did not fit within conventional models. Childhood intuition, gaps in psychosomatic explanations, professional turning points, and moments of loss all serve as catalysts for a broader exploration of what awareness may include.
Part II offers a map of consciousness that integrates scientific, philosophical, and experiential perspectives. It examines foundational questions about the nature of consciousness, the paradox of free will, the structure of identity across multiple levels of awareness, and the emergence of narratives about multidimensionality. Rather than presenting doctrine, the text provides frameworks designed to prompt reflection and careful discernment.
Part III brings the inquiry into daily life through accessible living questions. Sound, time experience, symbolic memory, intuition, and the boundary between reality and fiction are offered as areas where awareness can expand through observation rather than belief. Readers are encouraged to consider how interpretation shapes experience and how personal meaning is formed.
Throughout the book, the emphasis remains on inquiry, coherence, and personal sovereignty. Expanded Awareness supports readers who sense that familiar explanations no longer capture the full range of human experience and who wish to explore emerging ideas with clarity and thoughtful engagement.
