“Cave Metaphor” by Pier Luigi Lattuada
How much presumption in Ulysses in crossing the threshold of the known world, in Galileo in believing his observations under the microscope contradicting no less than the Bible, in Columbus setting…

that I have chosen,
I c…
“ON TELLING THE TRUTH” by Jeff Foster

“CONTEMPORARY THREATS TO ETHNOMEDICINE” by Stanley Krippner

“RITES OF PASSAGE AND HOLOTROPIC STATES” by Stanislav Grof
In cultures that venerate shamans and also conduct rites of passage, the shamanic crisis is considered to be a form of initiation that is much superior to the rite of passage. It is seen as interve…
“THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN OUR SOCIETY” by Ram Dass

“DOES THIS PATH HAVE A HEART?” by Carlos Castaneda

“ENLIGHTENMENT” by Osho

“SIMPLICITY” by Krishnamurti
Thus a religious man is not really one who puts on a robe or a loincloth, or lives on one meal a day, or has taken innumerable vows to be this and not to be that, but is he who is inwardly simple, …
“WAKING UP” by Charles Tart
