Who Is Aware?: The Science and Spirituality of Consciousness

By Kaushlendra Kumar Thakur

Who is aware of your thoughts?

It is one of the oldest questions in human history-and one that modern neuroscience still cannot fully answer.

Who Is Aware? takes readers on a fascinating journey through the science, philosophy, psychology, and spiritual traditions that seek to understand consciousness itself. Bringing together insights from neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, meditation research, the Upanishads, Sankhya, Yoga, Buddhism, and non-dual traditions, this book explores one of humanity's greatest unsolved mysteries.

Inside you'll discover:

What consciousness actually is-and why it remains unexplainedThe difference between the brain, the mind, and awarenessHow memory, perception, and identity create the sense of selfWhy neuroscience has not solved the "Hard Problem" of consciousnessThe science behind meditation and brain transformationWhether artificial intelligence could ever become consciousThe nature of pure awareness beyond thoughtAncient wisdom traditions and their understanding of the witnessing mindWhere science and spirituality meet in the search for truthWhat the future of consciousness research may reveal

Rather than promoting any single belief system, Who Is Aware? presents balanced scientific evidence alongside timeless contemplative insights, inviting readers to investigate the nature of awareness through both intellectual inquiry and direct experience.

Whether you are interested in neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, meditation, spirituality, or the deepest questions of existence, this book offers an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of the mystery that lies behind every experience.

Because before we ask what reality is... we must first ask: Who is aware?
