Break Through the Limits of the Brain: Experience Superconscious Awareness, Intuition, Vitality, Creativity, and Fulfilling Divine Joy
A life-changing guide to understanding your brain and how to change it—for good.
Break Through the Limits of the Brain explores the neuroscience of sacred, superconscious experience. It offers proven ways to break through the brain’s limits into a life-changing, life-enhancing awareness that is beyond our everyday consciousness; an awareness that is intuitive, creative, energized, joyful, and spirit-filled.
Selbie explains how and why the brain’s neural circuits reinforce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us immersed in limited conscious awareness—and how radical neuroplasticity enables our innate ability to rewire the brain to break through to unlimited superconscious awareness.
The book offers many the Hong Sau technique of meditation for deepening concentration, energization exercises for increasing life-force and vitality, methodical introspection techniques for identifying neurally reinforced negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior and affirmations for directly rewiring them. These practices will help you bring superconscious awareness into your life that enables, awakens, and supports success, vitality, creativity, health, peace of mind, and lasting, fulfilling happiness.
Break Through the Limits of the Brain provides strong scientific support for superconscious awareness; scientific support provided by quantum physics and M-theory for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality; a reality in which we exist simultaneously with physical reality ; a reality of which we can become aware by breaking through the limits of the brain.
The book debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—the brain-as-supercomputer model—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is not only the source of our own consciousness but also the foundation of reality —an age-old sacred belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.
Meditation is a central theme of the book— what it is; how to do it; why it works ; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for us to experience superconscious awareness and to achieve whatever we put our mind to.

I enjoyed this book but not as much as the Physics of God, which I found to be amazing. Both of the books by this author are super positive and touch the heart in profound ways. This one covered a lot of the same material as the Physics of God but mostly focused on meditation and rewiring the brain for positive outcomes. I've experienced a lot of what this author is teaching many years ago in my life and can attest to its truth. However, it's hard to find the time to stay still in the hustle and bustle of what is required of an individual to be successful in the modern world. Balancing the two is an art and this book will help you with that.

Another great book from Joseph Selbie. (See my previous rave review about
The Physics of God
.) I love how it describes the current limits of science (and especially scientific materialism) and how theories reaching beyond those limits are starting to align with spiritual principles. And then, of course, he tells us what we can do with all this information.
As a long-time meditator, I know where he’s heading with it all, and I still find that it inspires me to deepen and lengthen my meditations. I hope and believe that non-meditators will also find it inspiring to start a practice.
