This wide-ranging book presents explorations in areas Charles Tart, international authority on consciousness and parapsychology, believes are at the cutting edge of research, presented in a way that is scientifically sound, but easily readable and personally relevant. The book is intended to expand our horizons of what our possibilities are, as we spend too much of our time living in culturally- and self-imposed limitations that cramp our true being and produce useless suffering. Topics include meditation, lucid dreaming, how to use a psychic reading, possible postmodern survival, dream yoga, altered states of consciousness and enlightenment.

This book, by Charles T. Tart, world famous authority on altered states of consciousness, describes the results of a landmark study of 150 experienced marijuana users. What do they actually feel vs. propaganda about marijuana? Effects on vision, hearing, touch, social interaction, sexual sensations, space and time perception, thinking processes, spiritual experiences and ESP are among the many discussed. This is what can happen in the natural settings people use marijuana in, not the artificial conditions of the laboratory. This book will become the standard work on the subjective effects of marijuana.John Kaplan

States of Consciousness, a classic by world authority Charles T. Tart, is a basic understanding of how the mind is a dynamic, culturally biased, semi-arbitrary construction and system. A systematic exploration of how and why altered states can come about and their possibilities. As a student of his remarked, For the first weeks of class I didnt understand what those diagrams were about, but Ive realized the book is all about the way my own mind works! Useful in understanding some of the important ways your mind works before you start altering it.

States of Consciousness

Religion & Spirituality

G. I. Gurdjieff taught that we are not really awake, but are entranced automatons, controlled by mechanical habits of thought, perception and behavior. Tart clearly presents the evidence for how deeply asleep we are and its consequences, and then describes methods for becoming more awake, less asleep, more spiritual, less mechanical, allowing us to realize our full potential. Problems with spiritual teachers and groups along the way are sensitively analyzed and ways given to avoid them, so we can become more intelligent and compassionate, rather than members of some cult.

El despertar del self

Editorial Kairós SA

Science continues to insist that humans are the products of blind chemical and biological forces and that they lead meaningless lives that will ultimately end in death. The truth, however, is that unseen forces such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and psychic healing inexorably link humankind to the spiritual world and, however much skeptics and scientists deny the existence of these phenomena, the experiences of millions of people serve as evidence of their existence. In this study, transpersonal psychologist Charles Tart presents nearly 50 years’ worth of research from some of the nation’s leading universities that demonstrates the existence of natural spiritual abilities and impulses in humans. Tart draws upon this new evidence to link science and spirituality and explains why a truly rational worldview must admit the reality of the spiritual world. This book marks the beginning of a spiritual awakening that will powerfully influence the reader’s understanding of the deeper forces at work in her life.
