Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, Dr. James Cooke radically redraws our understanding of consciousness and what it truly means to be who we are.

A compelling, inventive, and revolutionary examination of consciousness that holds the key to transforming our relationship with nature

In Dawn of Mind, Dr. James Cooke explores the profound mystery at the core of human experience: consciousness. Integrating the latest scientific advancements with deep meditative insights and the potential of psychedelic therapy, Cooke challenges long-held views about the self and consciousness. From a transformational personal experience to rigorous scientific analysis, he argues that our individual sense of self is an illusion—a survival mechanism—while proposing that consciousness is a universal feature of all life. This groundbreaking perspective not only questions humanity's assumed dominance over nature but also highlights the critical need to bridge the divide between ourselves and the natural environment amid escalating ecological crises.

Cooke's work is both a visionary theoretical framework and a practical guide to understanding our interconnected existence.
