This wide-ranging book presents explorations in areas Charles Tart, international authority on consciousness and parapsychology, believes are at teh cutting edge of research, presented in a way that is scientifically sound, but easily readable and personally relevant. The book is intended to expand our horizons of what our possibilities are, as we spend too much of our time living in culturally- and self-imposed limitations that cramp our true being and produce useless suffering. Topics include meditation, lucid dreaming, how to use a psychic reading, possible postmoder survival, dream yoga, altered states of consciousness and enlightenment.

excellent read

charles tart has written many books on the consciousness and human potential. this is a fascinating and very practical book on psychological growth. the book covers a variety of topics such as lucid dreaming, psychic phenomena, psychological growth, meditation and death. the meditation section provides a variety of explanations and techniques used for meditating. like many of his previous books, mr. tart goes into a lot of detail about altered states of consciousness. although it tends to be some dry reading, it still is a very rewarding read. i highly recommend this book if you are into transpersonal psychology.
