From Consensus Trance to Self-Transformation with Charles Tart, Ph.D.

MP3 Download

Mechanical habits of thought, perception and behavior can cause us to be little more than robotic automatons going through the motions of our lives without any conscious idea that our actions have actually been programmed by unconscious patterns. Tart, a world famous authority on consciousness, reveals ways to literally wake up from this self-induced hypnotic-like state and become more fully alive and aware in the moment. Inspired by the teachings of Gurdjieff, Tart has also incorporated his own experience with Aikido and Buddhism coupled with his training as a psychologist to develop many useful techniques to create inner peace and outer effectiveness.
