Death to the New Year!

Death In Mind, a nonfiction essay in philosophical psychology, is set for release January 1, 2024.

Death In Mind is volume five in the award-winning Discovering the Mind series. This series of essays is the result of a fifty-year hunt for the mind. What is it? How does it work? Death is part of that answer.

Nobody really knows what it’s like to die because it seems to be a one-way journey. In the context of personal experience, an investigation into death would seem to be a dead-end.

However, Black Holes of Nothingness (BHNs) perforate all of normal experience. They are periods of mental absence. Most are unremarkable such as dreamless sleep, anesthetic blackout, and the nothingness in some kinds of meditation. What if death is just another BHN?

If death is like other BHNs, we should be able to learn something about it by examining the everyday kind of BHN using special first-person methods.

Reframed like that, death appears to be not a singularity at the end of life but rather, an ordinary event that repeats throughout experience.

Death In Mind is available as a 6×9 paperback on Amazon, or as a Kindle book. It’s also available as an e-book at many other retailers such as Apple and Barnes & Noble. Just enter the UBL (Universal Book Locator) to see those retailers.
