Edward Bruce Bynum is a clinical psychologist and the director of behavioral medicine at the University of Massachusetts Health Services in Amherst. In this scholarly adventure in examining the superconscious and the journeys of the soul, the author incorporates data and ideas from an incredibly diverse mix of academic fields from physics to neuroscience to biochemistry. He writes about the world's religions and esoteric and mystical pursuits. And then to cap it all off, Bynum includes insights into the human condition from ancient Egypt, indigenous peoples in Africa, and elsewhere in the world.
At one point, the author notes that "every human soul seeks light beyond birth, death, and astonishment. When the shining light within us has been awakened, led upward through the body, energy sheaths, and planes of mind into the source of consciousness itself, it has realized its purpose in embodiment." Got that? Darkness and light are both part of the adventure.
Dark Light Consciousness is for those who enjoy assembling complicated puzzles. Think of Bynum's references to Ureaus (Egyptian Texts), Kundalini (Hinduism and Yoga), neuro-melanin (a light-sensitive substance), the subtle energy body, dark matter, meditation, near-death experiences, and breathing exercises all as pieces of a gigantic puzzle of transdimensional soul travel.
