His writings on consciousness continued in "The Mind Made Flesh: Essays from the Frontiers of Evolution and Psychology" (2002), "Seeing Red: A Study in Consciousness" (2006), and most recently "Soul Dust: the Magic of Consciousness" (2011). In this last book he puts forward a radical new theory. Consciousness, he argues, is nothing less than a magical-mystery show that we stage inside our own heads – a show that paves the way for spirituality, and allows us to reap the rewards, and anxieties, of living in what he calls the "soul niche".
