Being You is not as simple as it sounds. Somehow, within each of our brains, billions of neurons work to create our conscious experience. How does this happen? Why do we experience life in the first person?
After over twenty years researching the brain, world-renowned neuroscientist Professor Anil Seth puts forward a radical new theory of consciousness and self. His unique theory of what it means to ‘be you’ challenges our understanding of perception and reality and it turns what you thought you knew about yourself on its head.

An exploration of holons — Arthur Koestler’s term, developed by Ken Wilber, for entities that are simultaneously wholes and parts: atoms in molecules, cells in organisms, individuals in societies. The holonic view reveals a universe of nested depth rather than flat matter, resonating strongly with the ILC picture of nested fields of coherence.
Always Already: The Brilliant Clarity of Ever-Present Awareness
Ken Wilber’s essay on the “always already” nature of awakening: the awareness you seek is the awareness doing the seeking, present and complete before any practice begins. A cornerstone text of integral non-duality.

“Healing, in the deepest sense, is not a destination or a future goal, but a present-moment welcoming of all the guests of Awareness. Sadness, anger, fear, joy, doubt, loneliness, heartache, these visitors do not want to be healed, they just want to be held; held in the loving arms of the present moment, held in your Heart… which IS the healing. Every thought, every sensation, every feeling, every scary thought, they all just long to be included, integrated, welcomed into the tender restful wholeness that you are…” – Jeff Foster
