“What if your brain was not creating consciousness — but receiving it?”
What if awakening wasn’t mystical at all — but biological?
Beyond the Self: When Science Meets the Soul is a revolutionary exploration into the science of spiritual experience — where neuroscience, energy, and consciousness unite to reveal the hidden truth of who we are.
In this deeply moving and intellectually satisfying book, Vikas Shukla blends scientific reasoning with profound inner experience to show that enlightenment is not a miracle but a natural function of human biology.
Through vivid storytelling and clear explanation, the author takes you through his own awakening — an extraordinary moment where sound, movement, and emotion merged into a state of pure bliss, dissolving the boundaries between self and universe.
What follows is not a fantasy — but a meticulous journey through what happens inside the brain, heart, and nervous system when the human being touches higher consciousness.
