A Secret History Of Consciousness by Gary Lachman
The Paranormal, Psi and the Soul
This book traces an alternative lineage of ideas about mind and awareness, following mystical, occult, and esoteric traditions alongside philosophers and psychologists to show how Western culture’s hidden currents have shaped concepts of consciousness; it recounts experiences and theories from ancient and Renaissance magicians to Romantic and early 20th-century thinkers, arguing that inner, nonmaterial aspects of consciousness have been marginalized by modern science and that a fuller account requires taking mystical, intuitive, and anomalous states seriously rather than dismissing them as mere superstition.
