It was experiential evidence that caused Grof to revise his views of the world - what makes you change your mind?

In addition, many of the things Grof claims are compatible to a large degree with other researches who have used visionary plants and chemicals.

Specifically Grof thinks humans can undergo a state of 'cosmic consciousness', or identification with the Godhead, unitive experience, there are many names for it.

If I were a psychologist, I would ask Doctor Grof not to be on my side.

Stan Grof from his clinical work would time LSD sessions no closer together than 1 week and that short period was unusual, usually with OCD patients.

A modern classic would be Holotropic Breathwork, developed by Stanislav Grof after the LSD based therapies he had been developing in the 1970s were made illegal.

) in a safe space and seeing if your experiences jived with anything Grof claims, or not.

Someone looking for insights, healing, gnosis and awareness of archetypes would do well to seek out more modern literature by Carl Jung, Stanislav Grof and Huston Smith.

I don't know if Stan Grof ever credited Reich with this, but Frank Lake, who was doing LSD psychotherapy with clients even earlier than Grof, wrote explicitly about having taken the breathwork approach from Reich.

The article mentioned Holotropic Breathwork, which is a method Stanislav Grof came up with after no longer being able to use LSD for his research in the 1960s.

I admit I'd call bullshit in almost every instance I see the term 'astrology' but I give Grof a bit of benefit of the doubt.

I guess you missed the part where Grof said he was a materialist monoist Freudian prior to the use of therapeutic LSD in his practice.

Even in "Realms of the Human Unconscious: Observations from LSD Research Paperback" by Stanislav Grof, OCD gives remarkable resistance not only to therapy, but even to psychedelics.

After over 14,000 words, Doctor Grof concludes thus: "In my present understanding, archetypal astrology is the long-sought Rosetta stone of consciousness research..." So astrology is the answer?

So Bigfoot is not a good analogy because investigating Grof's claims is an obtainable goal, not an impossibility.

Stan Grof's books are some of the best I've found on the topic of consciousness and 'reality' in general.

Holographic breathwork was developed as a result of psychedelic prohibition by Stan Grof.
