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
Western science is approaching a paradigm shift of unprecedented proportions, one that will change our concepts of reality and of human nature, bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, and reconcile the differences between Eastern spirituality and Western pragmatism.
Stanislav Grof
There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.
Stanislav Grof
The function of the brain is to reduce all the available information and lock us into a limited experience of the world. LSD frees us from this restriction and opens us to a much larger experience.
Stanislav Grof
By banning psychedelic research we have not only given up the study of an interesting drug or group of substances, but also abandoned one of the most promising approaches to the understanding of the human mind and consciousness.
Stanislav Grof
The experiences associated with death were seen as visits to important dimensions of reality that deserved to be experienced, studied, and carefully mapped.
Stanislav Grof
A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm.
Stanislav Grof
I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very, very involved and interested in art, and particularly in animated movies.
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
An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.
Stanislav Grof
Unlike scientism, science in the true sense of the word is open to unbiased investigation of any existing phenomena.
