 The Hidden Face of the Brain
The Hidden Face of the Brain
The Hidden Face of the Brain is an important event for literature. First published in 1989 in France by Seveyrat editions, the book received much attention in Europe, and is currently being translated roto three other languages. The work is the result of more than forty years of research during which Dominique Aubier has added the most recent scientific facts to the richness of traditions. The author uncovers the complex relationship, and creates a synthesis, of two very obviously distinct areas: Science and Tradition. With. an extensive base of references gathered from around the world, the book invites the reader to master reality like one wouid an instrument or an art. It provides the keys to this instrument of life, explains how to practice it, an.d play it with case.
The Hidden Face of the Brain is the first book to studv and codifv the organic laws that provide a oasis for all beliefs of the world. This code of organic laws that is known by all world traditions, is Rosch - the head, the brain. Using the structure of the human brain as a model, all expressions of human wisdom and spirituality can be explained.
The author expresses the genius of these traditions in modern scientific terms, and thus makes both fields accessible to a large variety of readers. On one side there is: Don Quixote, an initiatory treaty disguised in a tale of chivalry; the Zohar, a cornerstone of the Kabbalah; the visions of the great Sufi Ibn' Arabi; and the tales of Carlos Castaneda. On the other sicle, the ciassics of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system : Delmas and Delmas, von Economo, John Farqhar Fulton, Jean-Pierre Changeux...
The mechanics of the human cortex only fulls appear at the end of the investigation. At the heart of The Hidden Face of the Brain, beyond the dazzling richness of the documentation and verve of the author, is the exploration of the human consciousness and ils development.
