Unusual states of consciousness" , "The Individual Unconscious" , "The Collective Unconscious" , "Superpersonal level of the psyche" , "basic perinatal matrices", Holotropic Breathwork , "karma" , "Rebirth" , "Shamans" - these and a huge number of other fashion (true, Already worn-out) concepts can be found in this generalizing work of the famous psychologist Stanislav Grof .. Experts know , A boom in research into unusual states of consciousness occurred in the 50-60s of the 20th century. when the most common and universal means of cognition of the spiritual universe was a chemical drug Natural (e.g., CM) peyote) or artificially synthesized (e.g., lsd). The new universe turned out to be so attractive that in almost all areas of human life there was a cultural revolution. Huxley wrote "The Doors of Perception" and "The Island", the anthropologist Castaneda wrote "The Teachings of Don Juan", the singer John Lennon wrote a song about walruses, the biologist Francis Crick wrote an article about the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA... Was not left aside and Stanislav Grof, who even after the ban of LSD in the late 60s continued his research, but for this he had to develop a method of t. n. Holotropic Breathwork . As a result, this scientist found in the human psyche hidden memories of birth, of intrauterine existence and even .... about past lives, as well as two possible ways of our being - the individual (I and everything else) and the suprapersonal (everything is one) . What to say? Beautiful, of course. He was even ready to believe and plunge headlong into “integral” experiences, if not for a few very dubious arguments. For example, in . 163-164 in justification of the theory of post-mortem existence, the author refers to someone's experience of recognition of human speech in electronic records of sparrow twitter. I immediately recall Freud with his "Interpretations of Dreams". To believe or not to believe in post-mortem existence is a private matter, but in scientific work, in my poor opinion, it is necessary to give convincing scientific arguments. ------------------- In RuNet there is already a text of this book available for download (in . format) doc).
