Thresholds of Consciousness: Dreams, Non-Ordinary States, & Healing

I interview Dr. Stanley Krippner, consciousness researcher and humanistic psychologist. Stan discusses his memoir "A Chaotic Life," with me, where he describes how small events in his life led to unexpected and formative outcomes. Stan talks about some of his experiences with the Grateful Dead, how that led to further interest in Shamanism, and what Shamanism can teach us about healing. Stan is set to receive a Lifetime Achievement award from the Association of Transpersonal Psychology next month, he addresses his work in this field as well as his experimental work with Dream Telepathy and the 50th year anniversary of the book he co-wrote with Montague Ullman and Alan Vaughan.link to Stan's memoirs: https://universityprofessorspress.com/product/a-chaotic-life-the-memoirs-of-stanley-krippner-pioneering-humanistic-psychologist-3-volumes/link to Dream Telepathy, 50 year anniversary edition:https://a.co/d/04kBeauu

In this podcast consciousness researcher and author Stephen A. Schwartz discusses his work with remote-viewing (non-local consciousness) and how this research can contribute to social change.
