These are some of the books and other resources I use for consciousness and reality research projects:
The Spectrum of Consciousness – by Ken Wilber
In this book Wilber likens consciousness to the electromagnetic spectrum. He focuses on different levels of consciousness, calling them “bands” of the spectrum, much like the different frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. He tries to integrate Eastern mysticism and Western science claiming that they’re not contradictory but, in fact, complimentary; that different explorers of consciousness are simply focusing on different bands of the spectrum and aren’t necessarily opposing one another. You can read more about this book in my article Consciousness! It’s Only a Model.
The Dancing Wu Li Masters – by Gary Zukav
You Are the Universe – by Deepak Chopra and Menas Kafatos
