The Way of a Seer

The Way of a Seer  is a book about Dr Nelson's adventure-filled journey as he made the traverse from skeptical scientist into a life as a seer. Eventually he moved from being a brain researcher to becoming an expert on the workings of human attention and awareness. Over the course of his transition into the world of seers, he discovered that it is possible to live simultaneously as both skeptical scientist and seer.

Filled with stories of extraordinary events and episodes of seeing, and drawing on sources as varied as physics, neurophysiology, philosophy and consciousness studies, this book seeks to reveal the role of attention in non-ordinary perception as well as resolve the conflict between science and seeing in ways that do justice to both.


"A masterful work about human knowing and extraordinary experience that makes a profound statement about humanity's potential...This book is every bit as paradigm shaking as the works of William James or Carl Jung."

—Prof. Michael Naumes, PhD., Psychology, Southern Oregon University
