An End to Upside Down Thinking:

Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, 

and the Implications for Everyday Life

By Mark Gober

A Revelatory Look at the Evidence that Upends the Scientific & Public Belief That the Material World is the Foremost Reality—and How That Reversal Explains Our Seeming “Wizard-Like” Abilities

Dear BBS​,

Whether you realize it or not, most of modern society’s thinking is based upon a philosophy known as “materialism”—the notion that physical material, known as “matter,” is fundamental in the universe. In other words, it’s the basis of all reality. Everything is comprised of matter, and everything can be reduced to matter.​

But a fascinating read through Mark Gober’s An End to Upside Down Thinking:Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life and you will know otherwise.​

This compelling book marshals the clear evidence and makes the case that consciousness is the force that precedes matter—and upends all of the scientific and popular thinking that the brain (matter) creates consciousness. Science dismisses any evidence to its contrary position—a position it can’t prove--relegating the “matter-produces-consciousness” argument to nothing more than unfounded belief and faith—just another a form of ”religion,” Gober holds.

But once he begins to cite the evidence that consciousness is the basis of all reality and can create or transform matter, that’s where things get REALLY interesting in An End to Upside Down Thinking. Gober re-examines the seeming “wizard-like” gifts of telepathy, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis, near-death experiences and remembrance of past lives through this new filter, bringing forth the scientific studies that support this viewpoint...and even if you’ve read some studies in the past, there are new ones here that will astonish you, along with remarkable, overwhelming statistics that will leave you with little doubt.

Gober uses the analogy that reality is like a stream of water where water represents consciousness, and each of us is a whirlpool (a localization of consciousness). The whirlpools are made of water (consciousness) and are simply part of the broader stream that is normally filtered out of our perception. It's there--we just don't normally perceive it unless we have a mystical or transcendental experience (e.g., psychedelics, near-death experiences, meditation techniques, etc.). Separation is therefore an illusion; the water is always part of the broader stream even if there is the appearance of individual whirlpools. The water also never disappears, it just changes form when the whirlpool dissipates (i.e., consciousness survives physical death). And water from one whirlpool can get into another whirlpool if a whirlpool opens up/delocalizes (i.e., psychic abilities such as telepathy).​

But after masterfully building the case for this perception, Gober goes further, painting a picture of how life could be different if we did indeed accept that all flows from consciousness and we are all part of the one consciousness (the stream). How could we apply this for an expansive, more gratifying, peaceful and incredibly exciting, unlimited, multidimensional future! ​

Gober has built a nearly unassailable case.Most of all he calls for more research to get to the truth of our consciousness-driven existence unbiased by traditional scientific skepticism.

Gober, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has been drawn to life’s big questions starting from his years as a Princeton undergrad. Physicsparticularly astrophysics fascinated him, but he was too far into his economic major and other obligations to make the switch. As a compromise, instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he elected to study the invisible forces that govern human judgment and decision making—psychology/behavioral economics. But these big existence questions continued to plague him until he began the research which converted him from a “materialist” and ultimately propelled him to write the book –for every other hard core “materialist” still out there.  ​

Biography

Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to world-changing science. After researching extensively, he wrote An End to Upside Down Thinkingto introduce the general public to these cutting-edge ideas – all in an effort to encourage a much-needed global shift in scientific and existential thinking.

Mark, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has long sought answers to life’s challenging questions. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, he was drawn to astrophysics because he wanted to understand the universe. But because due to commitments as a member of Princeton’s Division I Tennis Team, he decided that astrophysics would be too demanding. So instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he studied the invisible forces that secretly drive human behavior, getting a degree in psychology, focusing on behavioral economics. 

In  the summer of 2016, he randomly stumbled across a series of podcasts that exposed him to some radical new ideas. Those ideas put into question the most basic assumptions about who and what we are as human beings. An End to Upside Down Thinking will change how you look at everything!
