In 1954, physician and research scientist Stanislav Grof began his investigations into non-ordinary 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 non-ordinary 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.
