Realms of the Human Unconscious: Observations from LSD Research

This volume is the first of a series of books in which summarizes and condenses the author's seventeen years of research with LSD and other psychedelic drugs. Most of these explorations have been for the study of schizophrenia, for didactic purposes, for a deeper understanding of art and religion, for personality diagnostics and the therapy of emotional disorders, and for altering the experience of dying. This volume is the first of five planned volumes. Here the author has summarized the basic information about LSD, briefly outlined various stages of his own psychedelic research (in Prague and the U.S.), and focuses primarily on the 'cartography of inner space,' of a phenomenological description of the various levels and types of experiences manifested in psychedelic sessions.

Argues that so-called psychiatric emergencies are actually opportunities for spiritual healing, and offers practical advice for individuals in crisis

The Stormy Search for the Self

CHrisTINA Grof

Jeremy P.Tarcher

Many people are undergoing a profound personal transformation associated with spiritual opening. Under favorable circumstances, this process results in emotional healing, a radical shift in values, and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of existence. For some, these changes are gradual and relatively smooth, but for others they can be so rapid and dramatic that they interfere with effective everyday functioning, creating tremendous inner turmoil. Unfortunately, many traditional health-care professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these crises; they often see them as manifestations of mental disease and repsond with stigmatizing labels, suppressive drugs, and even institutionalization.
In The Stormy Search for the Self, Christina and Stanislav Grof, the world's foremost authorities on the subject of spiritual emergence, draw on years of dramatic personal and professional experience with transformative states to explore these "spiritual emergencies," altered states so powerful they threaten to overwhelm the individual's oridinary reality. This book will provide insights, assurances, and practical suggestions for those who are experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for their families and friends, and for mental-health professionals. It is also a valuable guide for anyone involved in personal transformation whose experiences, though generally untraumatic, may still at times be bewildering or disorienting.

The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth through Transformational Crisis

Alternative Medicine

Easter and spring are natural times to contemplate birth, death and rebirth; so it is appropriate that the annual spring youth conference sponsored by the A.R.E. over the Easter holiday, April 15-18, 1976, was entitled "Dimensions of Death and Dying, Birth and Rebirth." One of the main purposes of this conference was to present and discuss current research and thinking on these subjects, and to compare the concepts emerging from this work with related material from the Edgar Cayce readings. This booklet contains the edited transcripts of presentations by three of the speakers featured at that conference: Stanislav Grof, M.D. ("Transitions: Birth, Death, and Rebirth"); Raynor Johnson, Ph.D. ("The Wheel of Birth and Death"); and Hugh Lynn Cayce ("The First Ten Minutes After Death"). Also included here is the transcript of a panel discussion with three longtime A.R.E. staff members: Hugh Lynn Cayce, Gladys Davis Turner, and Ruth LeNoir, titled "Dimensions of Death."
