The Elephant and the Blind

The Experience of Pure Consciousness: Philosophy, Science, and 500+ Experiential Reports

2024

Imagine exploring the depths of human consciousness instead of Mars! In The Elephant and the Blind, philosopher Thomas Metzinger ponders the essence of pure awareness. Using reports from meditators worldwide, he investigates experiences like ego-dissolution and nondual awareness. Metzinger aims to create a “culture of consciousness” by combining personal accounts with scientific analysis. This accessible book offers a fresh perspective on consciousness, free from religious or new-age trappings, inviting readers to ponder the nature of their own minds.
