Understanding the Many Varieties of Consciousness

About this event

We are aware that we experience consciousness in our everyday lives. However, we seldom consider the power of our minds to create and experience alterations in traditional consciousness. This course will present new research findings about how our minds are actually created. We will discuss theories of consciousness proposed by early writers, see how the 1960s changed our approach to understanding the conscious mind and discuss how treatments such as hypnosis can benefit us. We will ultimately explore the altered states of consciousness experienced in sleep and dreaming, praying and meditating, undergoing hypnosis, and ingesting various medications or drugs.
