The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival, since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.
Stanislav Grof

Stanislav Grof
The human psyche shows that each individual is an extension of all of existence.

Stanislav Grof

Stanislav Grof
I believe that used responsibly and in a mature way, the entheogens mediate access to the numinous dimensions of existence, have a great healing and transformative potential, and represent a very important tool for spiritual development.
Stanislav Grof
At a time when unbridled greed, malignant aggression, and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity, we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.
Stanislav Grof
LSD is a catalyst or amplifier of mental processes. If properly used it could become something like the microscope or telescope of psychiatry.
Stanislav Grof
It is essential that we raise the image of sex, which is currently seen as a purely biological affair and often portrayed in its worst manifestations, to that of a spiritually based activity.
Stanislav Grof
Unlike scientism, science in the true sense of the word is open to unbiased investigation of any existing phenomena.
Stanislav Grof
Each of us can manifest the properties of a field of consciousness that transcends space, time, and linear causality.
Stanislav Grof
This sense of perfection has a built-in contradiction, one that Ram Dass once captured very succinctly by a statement he had heard from his Himalayan guru: The world is absolutely perfect, including your own dissatisfaction with it, and everything you are trying to do to change it.
