Synopsis

What Is Consciousness? A Journey into the Mystery of Being by Robert D. Sears invites readers to explore the profound question of awareness through philosophy, science, and spirituality.

From Descartes to the “hard problem”, from Buddhist mindfulness to mystical Christianity, and from neuroscience to near-death experiences, Sears examines both the limits and possibilities of understanding consciousness.

Rather than offering final answers, he guides readers into deeper wonder, highlighting how traditions and insights—from Jung’s archetypes to A Course in Miracles—reveal consciousness as inseparable from love and shared being.

Thoughtful and accessible, this book serves as a companion for seekers of life’s greatest mystery.
