In this study, Georg Kuhlewind establishes a truly spiritual psychology. This psychology distinguishes between the subconscious regions explored by previous psychological schools and the supra-consciousness, which is identified as the light-filled, living source of our normal waking awareness and thought. As such, it is radically "present, " in contrast to our normal thoughts and emotions, which belong to a "past-consciousness, " composed of preformed elements. As readers of Kuhlewind's other books are aware, the non-dual realm is not to be found spatially or temporally but exists within the very processes of cognition.Kuhlewind explains how the diseases of consciousness familiar to us today arise from the decay of this higher cognitive potential.

Georg Kühlewind (1924-2006) was a Hungarian philosopher, writer, lecturer, and meditation teacher who worked from the tradition of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science. Setting aside his early interest in music and psychology, he pursued a successful professional career as a physical chemist. Meanwhile, he continued to deepen his spiritual practice and insights. A prolific author (most of whose works are still only in German), Georg Kühlewind spent much time traveling the world, lecturing and leading workshops and seminars in meditation, psychology, epistemology, child development, anthroposophy, and esoteric Christianity.
