What Lies Beyond explores two key questions: what exists beyond the functional, mechanistic view of life and consciousness, and why this matters today. It delves into paranormal and mystical experiences, challenges the prevailing materialistic perspective on the mind, and addresses the ongoing enigma of consciousness. Aimed at those feeling alienated by today's dominant scientism and technological obsession, this book encourages open enquiry, offering an alternative, humanistic approach that embraces science and technology while recognising the vast, often overlooked range of human experiences.
