Between Subconsciousness and Supraconsciousness
In this study, Georg Kühlewind establishes a truly spiritual psychology. This psychology distinguishes between the sub-conscious regions explored by previous psychological schools and the supra-consciousness, identified as the light-filled, living source of our normal waking awareness and thought. As such, it is radically "present," in contrast to our normal thoughts and emotions, which belong to a "past-consciousness," composed of pre-formed elements.
The principle of higher cognition guides Kühlewind's presentation, as it guides the individual psyche, to a place where human and world are no longer separate. As Kühlewind has pointed out in his other books, the non-dual realm cannot be found spatially or temporally but within the processes of cognition. Kühlewind explains how the familiar diseases of consciousness today arise from the decay of this higher cognitive potential.
Special chapters on memory and on the subconsciousness offer specific results of Kühlewind's own spiritual scientific researches. The book also includes new indications about the meditative path - the steps by which our current cognitive powers can be developed in the direction of their spiritual source.
