Altered States of History

Coming Soon! Altered States of History is an interdisciplinary initiative to explore the role of extended consciousness phenomena in human history and culture. An extended consciousness describes a mind that cannot be full reduced to the physical brain.  Once we allow for that, it opens the door for a deeper consideration of the role of extraordinary experience as a driver of human action and profound source for human agency.  Academic analysis pre-empts the possibility that  a mind could  merge with another mind (telepathy), dislocate outside the body (OBE), see beyond sensory perception (ESP), persist after bodily death (NDE), or have a direct mystical experience (DME). And yet, not only do such reports persist across time and place, on occasion, there is supporting evidence.  Altered states do not run on some parallel track to history, they run right through it. Isn’t it time we really dared to know? Share your research or story! Contact@alteredstatesofhistory.org
