Consciousness and Altered States

Exploring the Depths of Perception and Reality

by Bienuel Tenio

What if reality is not fixed—but shaped by consciousness itself?

Consciousness and Altered States is a deep, thought-provoking exploration of the human mind, perception, and the many states of awareness that shape how we experience reality. Blending neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and historical insight, this ebook invites you to journey beyond ordinary awareness and into the hidden dimensions of consciousness.

This is not a surface-level self-help guide.
It is an intellectual and experiential map for readers who seek to understand how consciousness works, how it can shift, and what those shifts reveal about the nature of reality.
