By: Thomas MetzingerAn engaging and insightful journey into human consciousness.
What if our goal had not been to land on Mars, but in pure consciousness? The experience of pure consciousness—what does it look like? What is the essence of human consciousness? In The Elephant and the Blind, influential philosopher Thomas Metzinger, one of the world's leading researchers on consciousness, brings together more than 500 experiential reports to offer the world's first comprehensive account of states of pure consciousness. Drawing on a large psychometric study of meditators in 57 countries, Metzinger focuses on “pure awareness” in meditation—the simplest form of experience there is—to illuminate the most fundamental aspects of how consciousness, the brain, and illusions of self all interact.
Starting with an exploration of existential ease and ending on Bewusstseinskultur, a culture of consciousness, Metzinger explores the increasingly non-egoic experiences of silence, wakefulness, and clarity, of bodiless body-experience, ego-dissolution, and nondual awareness. From there, he assembles a big picture—the elephant in the parable, from which the book’s title comes—of what it would take to arrive at a minimal model explanation for conscious experience and create a genuine culture of consciousness. Freeing pure awareness from new-age gurus and old religions, The Elephant and the Blind combines personal reports of pure consciousness with incisive analysis to address the whole consciousness community, from neuroscientists to artists, and its accessibility echoes the author’s career-long commitment to widening access to philosophy itself.

Love it so much I got a second one
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Navy Blue, Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Navy Blue
This blanket is perfect for snuggling. The throw size is perfect for napping or relaxing. It’s unbelievably soft. Faux rabbit fur is how I’d describe it. The color is perfect and consistent. It’s got great weight to it. It definitely has the power of nap inducement. My kids keep trying to steal it when they watch movies with me so I got a second because I’m not sharing! I’d get it in king size if they made it that big. Quality is amazing. It’s basically double layered with the top being the fluffy, bubble side and the other is a smooth yet still soft underside. It’s worth every penny and if you see it on a deal - DO NOT WAIT! Pull it out of the box and prepare to luxuriate beneath this deliciously soft and warm blanket. You DO need it!

This is a nice, thick faux fur blanket. I drape it over my recliner. Now I have a throne fit for Conan the Barbarian. Washed well. Feels soft and warm. This blanket could be used as a throne cover or a bedspread. Beautiful!

Soft!!!
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Light Grey
This blanket is very soft, but it’s not made the same on both sides. And it doesn’t fold easily because of that. But it is very soft and comfy. I hope it lasts after being washed cause many things lose their softness after being washed.
