On Feeling Good. An Operating Manual for the Human Consciousness

By Samuel Clarke McLaughlin

Thought experiments can lead us to new frontiers. On Feeling Good taps into modes of consciousness and real existence-through experiments in cognition, perception, and freedom of will and action-that are not only higher than ordinary but located in the depths of hyperspace in a very precise way. This book moves us through dimensions where there is enough room to grasp such phenomena as immortality and universal love and compassion. What Edwin Abbott's 1884 classic Flatland does for lower dimensions, On Feeling Good does for higher ones. At the same time, On Feeling Good makes esoteric knowledge accessible, much like Aldous Huxley's popular 1945 book The Perennial Philosophy. But most importantly, the doors to the fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensions open in this volume. Through the simple imagery of a raindrop and its path, the reader ascends to higher and deeper reality, and then ascends again into another new dimension. But the greatest good here is the lesson about good feeling. The good is beyond being, beyond measure and order, and feeling good is what being does: being is an ecstatic rising.

Samuel Clarke McLaughlin (1924-2020) was a professor of psychology at Tufts University, where in the 1970s he taught a popular course called Altered States of Consciousness. His thesis, reflected in the title of this book, is that good feeling is limitless bliss, but only comes into focus when we alter our frame of reference, or as McLaughlin puts it, our "dimensional mode of perception."
