Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs.
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

Stanislav Grof
If consciousness can function independently of the body during one's lifetime, it could be able to do the same after death.
Stanislav Grof
