Synopsis
The lens of perception--the part of human consciousness that experiences reality--is a core concept in virtually every spiritual and psychological tradition, from ancient Buddhism to Native American shamanism to Jungian psychology. Hal Zina Bennett proposes that if we can comprehend and harness this consciousness, we can shape our experiences and fulfill our greatest potential. By deconstructing the inner workings of the human mind, this skillfully written book unravels the Gordian knot of reality itself. A guided tour of human consciousness that takes the reader from individual self-awareness to becoming the co-creator of reality. An underground cult favorite that was way ahead of its time, reissued as a New Thought classic in a freshly revised third edition. Thanks to the success of the film What the Bleep Do We Know!?, which has grossed over $12 million and inspired hundreds of online discussion groups, "alternative consciousness" is hot again.

Reviews
Bennett's metaphor for each human being's own way of looking at life is a "lens." He shows how this concept is useful in understanding relationships, careers and life itself. For example, he outlines exercises for seeing the world through someone else's lens as a way of resolving conflicts. He also describes the world's great traditions as attempts to correct the lens's distortion: science tries to right things by "objectivizing" the world through statistics, double-blind studies and the like while Oriental religion seeks to clear the lens by ceasing its activity. Bennett's preferred approach is the shamanic tradition (and what he sees as its modern continuation, Jungian analysis), which interprets the lens's dreams and visions to guide one through life. Bennett's ideas are intelligent and well-stated. One may disagree with himbut, then again, one's lens is not his. This is Bennett's third book in the Field Guides to Inner Resources series.
