Consciousness Explained Better is a clear explanation of consciousness in its many facets and forms. The book offers the first thoroughgoing exploration of consciousness grounded in Ken Wilber’s understanding of its many aspects and developmental structures, all of which combine to create the kaleidoscopic yet lucid experience that is the essence of each of the moments of our lives. In this book, consciousness is explored from many points of its historical evolution, its growth in the individual, its mystical dimensions, and the meaning of enlightenment.
Allan Combs is a consciousness researcher, neuropsychologist, and systems theorist. He considers his most significant work to be the development of a developmental/evolutionary model of the mind using concepts from systems science. Much of this was accomplished in collaboration with his friend and colleague Stanley Krippner. He is most widely known, however, for his collaboration with Ken Wilber on the Wilber-Combs lattice.
