What if everything you've been told about consciousness only scratches the surface of a much deeper reality? Dr. Douglas James Cottrell takes us on a profound journey through the multiple dimensions of human awareness that science is only beginning to understand.
Through vivid metaphors and practical examples, Dr. Cottrell reveals how our everyday "monkey mind" consciousness represents merely the tip of an iceberg. Below lies the vast and powerful subconscious, which he likens to a bull being led by a small boy holding a rope - when the boy stops running, the bull's momentum carries forward with potentially overwhelming force. This explains why changing established patterns can be so challenging despite our conscious intentions.
Most fascinatingly, Dr. Cottrell illuminates the often-overlooked imagination as the critical bridge connecting our conscious awareness to the deeper "elephant mind" of soul consciousness. This superconscious awareness operates beyond emotion, beyond thinking, perceiving reality directly without the filters that typically distort our understanding.
"We don't think. We see," explains Dr. Cottrell, describing the nature of soul consciousness that manifests through prophetic dreams, intuitive knowings, and creative inspirations that seem to arrive fully formed. The evidence surrounds us - nearly everyone has experienced moments when they "just knew" something would happen before it did, revealing our innate connection to a consciousness that transcends time and space.
Dr. Cottrell's perspective bridges scientific inquiry with spiritual wisdom, suggesting that the greatest minds throughout history - from inventors to artists to scientists - accessed universal consciousness through this same pathway. By learning to quiet the emotional reactivity of our monkey minds and cultivate what he calls "disinterested awareness," we can tap into this deeper intelligence at will.
