Toward a New Form of Consciousness

Have you ever sensed a power in yourself bigger than you are? Have you found yourself in a flow in which everything seems to turn out just right – the lights turn green, the elevator opens just as you got there, the hands in the poker game are all full houses and royal flushes? Have you risen to some occasion, performed some feat, and then felt as if you didn't do it, something took over and did it through you? Have you experienced a moment of total awe and rapture, feeling at peace and at one with life? The humanistic psychologist, Abraham Maslow, referred to such occurrences as peak experiences. Most of us wish our whole lives could be as they are in those moments – powerful, blissful, flowing, and magical. But like Cinderella at the stroke of twelve, the magic disappears as quickly as it appears; and we’re returned to mundane existence. This course explores the process of transforming our "normal" state of consciousness to Maslow’s peaks and beyond.
