Synopsis

< p>Exploring the mind as a living system made of many sub-personalities, and how attention, states of consciousness, and external influences shape who we are.


This work investigates how the human personality can be seen as a co-ordination of distinct parts, from cells to mental faculties, all interacting to form a single sense of self. It also looks at how attention, suggestion, and altered states—through sleep, trance, or drugs—can temporarily change or merge these parts without ending the person’s continuity. The text threads together biology, psychology, and philosophy to explain why a person may appear different in different moments, yet remain one individual.



  • Learn how sub-personalities arise and how they can rise, fade, or encyst within the same body.

  • See how focused attention and hypnotic states shift perception, sensation, and control.

  • Explore historical observations of altered states, dreams, and religious ecstasy as natural outcomes of the mind’s organization.

  • Understand the idea that personal growth and change can involve both harmony and discord among the mind’s parts.


Ideal for readers curious about the science and philosophy of identity, consciousness, and how our mental life fits with our biology.
