Does modern scientific theory really answer the question "who are we, and where do we come from"? Beyond the Brain, whilst supporting science, challenges the preconception that evolutionary biology contributes anything at all to understanding the root of consciousness, which is the simple awareness "I am". The book puts science in the context of Self realisation, spotlighting the evolution of scientific intelligence, and where it is going. Beyond the Brain contains no pseudo-science, or mis-representations of how "hard science", as a process, works. It shows how the ego, as unconscious, personal self-concept, impedes the rise of a science of consciousness, by confusing personal mind with the true “I am”, the root of consciousness in the human body and brain.
