Product Description
by Jeffrey Mishlove (Author), Charles T. Tart (Author)
Charles T. Tart: Seventy Years of Exploring Consciousness and Parapsychology offers a compelling portrait of one of the most influential figures in the study of altered states of consciousness and human potential. A pioneer in both parapsychology and transpersonal psychology, Charles T. Tart helped shape modern understandings of meditation, dreaming, hypnosis, psychedelics, and extraordinary human experiences.
This book features sixteen in-depth interviews with Jeffrey Mishlove, on his New Thinking Allowed channel, capturing the full range of Tart's intellectual journey-from rigorous scientific inquiry to deep philosophical questions about the nature of mind, spirit, and reality. Tart discusses the experimental challenges of studying consciousness, the need for state-specific sciences, and the often-contentious dialogue between science and religion. He also reflects on his personal inspirations, including Gurdjieff, William James, and his own experiences with remote viewing and feedback mechanisms in psi research.
Tart's landmark works-Altered States of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychologies-broke academic ground, introducing generations of students and researchers to the rich, untapped terrain of inner experience. More than a retrospective, this book is a window into the mind of a thinker who has never stopped asking difficult questions or challenging conventional wisdom.
Whether you are a student of psychology, a seeker on the path of consciousness, or simply curious about the frontiers of human experience, this book is an essential guide to the life and legacy of the much-loved Charley Tart.
