Description
';Explores a dimension of synesthesia long encountered in reports of synesthetes: its relation to mystical and artistic vision . . . fascinating accounts.'Patricia Lynne Duffy, author ofBlue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens
What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle ';brain tick' that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a uniqueability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine.
Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicistsand even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth.
Step into Maureen's shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper spiritual truths.
';Tasting the Universeis not only the brilliant writing of a top, professional journalist looking in on a strange but romantic phenomena, but it is the writing of a person who could embrace the feelings of those she interviews, because author Seaberg herself possesses this remarkable gift of synesthesia. I predict when you pick up this book, you will be unable to put it down, as it will open up for you a whole new world in our universe.'The Amazing Kreskin
