Expanded and Contracted States of Consciousness

Each state of consciousness that we experience, including the familiar states of waking, sleeping, dreaming and day-dreaming, has its own subjective mind-space and time-stream, says Metzner. Expansive states,
including those associated with psychedelics, may lead to heightened creative inspiration, healing and spiritual understanding. Recent research has supported the controversial notion that consciousness-expanding psychedelic substances can be applied in the treatment of the contractions of alcoholism, drug addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Come hear about the possibilities.
