The Transpersonal Vision Stanislav Grof

Beyond the Brain with Stanislav Grof - In 1954, physician and research scientist Stanislav Grof began his investigations into nonordinary states of consciousness. On The Transpersonal Vision, this pioneering cartographer of the human psyche tells the story of his quest for a new architecture of the self. You will hear about Dr. Grof’s forays into the worlds of the shaman and mystic, what past-life experiences can teach us about our life purpose, how nonordinary states reveal the intrinsic structure of the universe itself, and much more. Here is Stanislav Grof’s own front-line account of his search beyond the domain of our "personal biographies" – and into the territory of mystical states, archetypal forces, and even the intrinsic structure of the universe itself. Includes 145-page book.

This review is from: Transpersonal Vision (Audio CD)

This audioseries is a nice summary on the work by Stanislav Grof and some others, it covers a wide range of topics on the transpersonal, paranormal and ancient eastern wisdom.

The audio is not perfect but very much acceptable.

This review is from: Transpersonal Vision (Audio CD)

I purchased the multiple cassette version, before the CD set version was available and sincerely enjoyed. However, a few days ago I also purchased it at Audible for 1 Credit, which can be very reasonable, for example with a trial membership or bulk credit purchases.

I first attended a talk by Dr. Grof in 1973 at a Symposium on Transpersonal Psychology in Amherst, MA, when I was a 18 year old freshman at UMass, and have been impressed by his career over the years.

This review is from: The Transpersonal Vision (Audio Cassette)

Aside from the previous reviewer's comment about the audio quality, the subject that is being discussed is truly excellent! A well-researched (audio)book. It is fascinating to me to have someone other than an American-born person giving detailed information about such a subject. Indeed, it seems that these subject matters are more than just mere fads of thought within the American culture, but something that the world has been aware of and still coming to. Again, worth the listen past the quality of the audio.
