Ornstein Quotes

“ENDORSEMENT STATEMENT: Since the publication of ‘The Psychology of Consciousness’ in 1972, Dr. Ornstein has continued to explore the boundaries of what we call God. In ‘God 4.0’ he has combined the latest research from a number of domains to create a new spiritual literacy that offers an understanding of the transcendent nature of consciousness and by doing so allows us to truly see God. Humbling, profound and, ultimately, transformative.”
― James R. Doty, M.D., Founder/Director, Stanford University Center for Compassion and Altruism Resear

“Robert Ornstein’s book takes readers on a dazzling tour of the human quest for transcendence, from the paleolithic era when shamans created wall paintings to the contemporary use of psychedelic drugs for consciousness enhancing purposes, and to the rapidly evolving scientific understanding of the human brain. Ornstein provides deep historical, anthropological and scientific insights to understand the progressive evolution of human consciousness from one focused on survival to a “second system of cognition, inspiration and insight,” a world beyond the narrow doors of perception. Eloquently written and based on an encyclopedic knowledge of history, psychology and science, there are few books that make this journey as inspiring and entertaining as God 4.0.”
