Synopsis

This book shows how the brain-mind-body is a self-organizing system that constructs our experience of reality. Drawing upon the latest brain research and highlighting the connection to quantum physics, the author traces the development of intelligence from infancy to adulthood and explores the profound biological dynamic between the heart and mind. He further analyzes the major negative forces that hamper the development of intelligence and indicates children's premature exposure to such institutions as daycare and TV, which combine to cause biological breakdowns that sabotage our children's development and the future of our society. Finally, the author suggests how we may pass through the forces that impede us and come to the next step in human evolution - a way of knowing and being that goes beyond the five senses, that unites us fully with life's creative processes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's time for the way we think about our families, our schools, and our lives to evolve.

This passionate and provocative critique of the way we raise our children and undermine our society's future delineates the ways in which we thart our creative progess, and reveals a new landscape of possibilities for the next step in human evolution.

Brilliantly synthesizing twenty years of research into human intelligence, Joseph Chilton Pearce -- author of the bestsellers The Crack in the Cosmic Egg and Magical Child -- show how:

• contemporary childbirth and daycare create a dangerous sense of alienation from the surrounding world
• TV impedes vital neurological development
• synthetic hormones in our foods foster premature sexual development, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy and rape
• premature schooling contributes to potentially explosive frustration and rebellion

These everyday aspects of modern life have a cumulative effect, contributing to violence, child suicide, and deteriorating family and social structures. Proposing crucial yet simple solutions, Pearce persuasively argues that we have the power to get out of our own way and unleash, instead, our "unlimited", awesome, and unknown" human potential as the culmination of three billion years of evolution.
