Transpersonal Ecosophy Vol. 1

The image on the cover of this book represents the idea that brain state alterations at sacred sites allow us to re-experience memories that are woven into the morphogenetic fields of that place an idea that originates with Paul Devereux's empirical enquiry into dreams at sacred sites in Wales and England. This books examines how this investigation provides us with a new way of understanding consciousness and a new direction toward a reconciliation of the divorce between matter and spirit. We explore the work of David Lukoff and Stanislav and Christina Grof the connections between the varieties of transformative experience in dream studies ecopsychology transpesonal psychology and the anthropology of consciousness as well as the overlap between David Bohm's interpretation of quantum theory and Rupert Sheldrake's hypothesis of formative causation.
