This is almost a "how-to" as well as a "what it's like up there" book. The splendors of the mind are revealed when we get into a meditative mode, which means to let ourselves go into easy silence. At that point, we begin to vision (and actually experience) the magnificent vistas of the upper mind and its world. Along the way, there are demonstrations and hints as to how to bring yourself to that place in your journey.

After forty years of scientific training and clinical practice, Dr. Pressman has brought forth a book that opens the ceiling for other academicians, scientists and healers who might want to declare their own spiritual base and experiences in the healing arts and sciences.

This is a wonderful book, much in the style of Maslow that points to the presence of spiritual activity in releasing human potential, growth and health. It is rich with description of Dr. Pressman's own spiritual experiences, with case histories of others, and a description of how to release the soul from within. This becomes all the more powerful because of Dr. Pressman's considerable academic credentials.

What is the Supermind? Supermind is the highest level of mind, closest to the Creator. Sri Aurobindo has spoken of the Supermind as God's vast realm. The Supermind is a highly elevated plane of mind and personality, at once within us and around us. It is the locale of goodness and altruism. It is the storehouse of the vast powers of Nature that we contain. It is our potential.

The Supermind is the location of origin, where creation is created and thoughts are thought. Thus, the Supermind is a reflection of the God-Mind. We can achieve this through aspiration, training and exercise in the control of mind. We accomplish this when we teach the personality to surrender to a higher authority, to lay aside its ego and to open to the Divine message. When this is realized, we see more and more of the Higher World(s). We learn what it is to live in these regions. Some of this information is now becoming available to our culture as we learn more about past lives, out-of-body experiences and near-death happenings. These experiences are accompanied by feelings of awe, bliss, beneficence, all of which describe the ambience of the Higher Range, are and what we have learned, we let others stand on our shoulders making their journey easier, their height higher, and their vision wider. We transmit; we radiate our experience.
