In Doorways into Mind, James E. Payne does what three generations of psychologists said could not be done. He uses subjective tools with rigor in experiments that are repeatable, to discover how the mind carries out its basic functions. The book opens new pathways for scientists engaged in psychological research and provides thoughtful lay readers with a deeper understanding of their own motivations and behavior. Payne's book answers ten basic questions about mind functions. How does the mind relate to space and time? What are mind tools and how do they work? What is the subconscious, how does it relate to the conscious mind, and how can the two work together to enhance learning and understanding? Why are humans so prone to conflict? What are the mechanisms the mind uses to adapt to change? How does the mind build its conceptual databases? How does the mind pursue homeostatic, balance-seeking goals, such as the avoidance of pain and the satisfaction of hunger and sexual need? How does the mind pursue transcendent goals such as wisdom, truth, beauty, and justice? How can we make better use of life-positive adaptive mechanisms such as analysis, synthesis, conceptualization, and sublimation? How can we avoid the destructiveness of life-negative mechanisms such as repression, regression, and inversion? Doorways into Mind may usher in a new era of subjective research on mind functions. Payne is the co-author with pharmacologist Kenneth Blum of Alcohol and the Addictive Brain. At 92 still active in full-time research, he lives with his wife, Marjorie, in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.

"Bold, provocative, and highly readable." -V. S. Ramachandran, M.D., author of Phantoms in the Brain What are near-death experiences, out-of-body sensations, and spiritual ecstasy? And what do they have in common? Perhaps no one is more qualified to answer these questions than renowned neurobiologist Dr. Kevin Nelson. Drawing on his more than three decades of groundbreaking research into the "borderlands of consciousness," Dr. Nelson offers an unprecedented journey into the site of spiritual experience: the brain. Filled with amazing firsthand accounts as varied as a patient seeing the devil battling with his guardian angel to a man watching the universe synchronize around a pinball machine, The Spiritual Doorway in the Brain is an eloquent examination of our brains' spiritual "hardwiring" that will enthrall believers and skeptics alike.

This ground breaking book opens a fascinating doorway to the fringes of the paranormal. Early chapters lead the reader into mind opening exercises with dowsing, including the author's ground breaking discovery of 'life stones', small pebbles which were treasured by our prehistoric ancestors. This long lost cult, apparently active in most countries of the world, believed that life stones were the bones of the Earth Mother and were cherished as containers for the soul. Later chapters extend dowsing skills into psychometry, enabling recovered 'life stones' to be 'read' to uncover intimate details of the lives of our distant ancestors, including the Druids.

The world's leading neurologist on out-of-body and near-death experiences shows that spirituality is as much a part of our basic biological makeup as our sex drive or survival instinct. If Buddha had been in an MRI machine and not under the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment, what would we have seen on the monitor? Dr. Kevin Nelson offers an answer to that question that is beyond what any scientist has previously encountered on the borderlands of consciousness. In his cutting-edge research, Nelson has discovered that spiritual experiences take place in one of the most primitive areas of the brain. In this eloquent, inspired, and reverent book, he relates the moving stories of patients and research subjects, brain scan analysis, evolutionary biology, and beautiful examples of transcendence from literature to reveal the machinery in our heads that enables us to perceive miracles-whether you are an atheist, Buddhist, or the most devout Catholic. The patients and people Nelson discuss have had an extremely diverse set of spiritual experiences, from arguing with the devil sitting at the foot of their hospital bed to seeing the universe synchronize around the bouncing of the ball in a pinball machine. However, the bizarre experiences don't make the people seem like freaks; they seem strangely very much like us, in surprising ways. Ultimately Nelson makes clear that spiritual experiences are not the exception in human life, but rather an inescapable and precious part of every one of us.

The most playful – and arguably most accessible – novel by the master of inventive science fiction. Humanity is not alone in the cosmos. The aliens have given a precious relic to the people of Earth: star-stone. But the harmony of the galaxy is endangered when they discover that the star-stone has disappeared. Likeable Fred Cassidy is an eternal undergraduate. All he thinks he knows about the star-stone is that it came to Earth in an interplanetary trade for the Mona Lisa and the British Crown jewels. When Fred is accused of stealing the cosmic artefact, he is pursued from Australia to Greenwich Village and beyond, by telepathic psychologists, extra-terrestrial hoodlums and galactic police in disguise. Follow him on his adventures as he enters multiple realities, flipping in and out of alien perspectives, through doorways in the sand. Praise for Doorways in the Sand: “A wonderful book from Zelazny’s best period – with a rollercoaster plot and some terrific jokes.” “If you've never read it, you really must. Come one – there’s a talking wombat. Need I say more?” “Doorways in the Sand is vintage Zelazny, which is to say it is like taking a course in philosophy while crawling about between the gargoyles on the cathedral of Life, dodging the slings and death-rays of outrageous villains, some of them bug-eyed monsters.” “If you don't like it I'm sorry to say there is something wrong with you, you may have to re-incarnate.” Editorial reviews: “Ingenious.” The New York Times “One of the highest tributes I have ever heard paid to a writer lies in the words of a young lady who said, ‘I knew, halfway through the second paragraph, that I was in good hands.’ Science fiction has produced many such hands, and I genuinely envy those who encounter Roger Zelazny.” Theodore Sturgeon, The New York Times Book Review “That rarest of creatures in science fiction, the original character, emerges in Roger Zelazny’s Doorways in the Sand.” Chicago Daily News

George MacDonald wrote fairy tales for both children and adults to demonstrate the essential role of the imagination in apprehending spiritual truths. He explained: ". . . undefined, yet vivid visions of something beyond, something which eye has not seen nor ear heard, have far more influence than any logical sequences whereby the same things may be demonstrated to the intellect." Rolland Hein undertakes to show how MacDonald's tales contain such visions, helping readers to experience for themselves glimpses of "something beyond" and catch exciting insights into eternal truths.
