The Transpersonal Vision: The Healing Potential of Nonordinary States of Consciousness

In 1954, physician and research scientist Stanislav Grof began his investigations into nonordinary states of consciousness. On The Transpersonal Vision, this pioneering cartographer of the human psyche tells the story of his quest for a new architecture of the self. You will hear about Dr. Grof’s forays into the worlds of the shaman and mystic; what past-life experiences can teach us about our life purpose; how nonordinary states reveal the intrinsic structure of the universe itself; and much more. Here is Stanislav Grof’s own front-line account of his search beyond the domain of our “personal biographies” – and into the territory of mystical states, archetypal forces, and even the intrinsic structure of the universe itself.
