Conscious : a brief guide to the fundamental mystery of the mind / by Harris, Annaka,author.(CARDINAL)610457;
Includes bibliographical references(115-123) and index.What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? People take their experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are people able to think about this? And why should they? In this wonderfully accessible book, Annaka Harris guides listeners through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe the limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion or a universal property of all matter? As listeners try to understand consciousness, they must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it.

Doors of joy : 19 meditations for authentic living / by Odier, Daniel,1945-author.(CARDINAL)713386;
We know from countless spirituality and self-help books that authentic joy has no object - it is truly free and boundless. And yet, try as we might, how many of us can say that joy is more than a fleeting feeling? Daniel Odier's approach, which is based in part on his study of Chinese Zen, is refreshingly straightforward. All it requires is a willingness to disengage from our habitual ways of thinking, and practise being present throughout the day. He calls his method, "The Practice of Consciousness." Its purpose is to unlock our spontaneity and recover our innocence and creativity. He writes, "Consciousness manifests itself as presence. To work with presence is similar to learning a musical instrument. To enter this state, take a sensation such as the feel of your bare feet on the ground. Enter deeply into the contact; breathe by relaxing your abdomen; and after fifteen or twenty seconds, leave the sensation and return to your habitual mode. Doing this thirty, forty or fifty times a day allows us to enter into a deep acquaintance with sensation."
