Open Mind, Discriminating Mind: Reflections on Human Possibilities

This wide-ranging book presents explorations in areas Charles Tart, international authority on consciousness and parapsychology, believes are at the cutting edge of research, presented in a way that is scientifically sound, but easily readable and personally relevant. The book is intended to expand our horizons of what our possibilities are, as we spend too much of our time living in culturally- and self-imposed limitations that cramp our true being and produce useless suffering. Topics include meditation, lucid dreaming, how to use a psychic reading, possible postmodern survival, dream yoga, altered states of consciousness and enlightenment.

Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., is internationally known for research on transpersonal psychology and parapsychology. His 13 books include two classics: Altered States of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychologies. His latest book, Body Mind Spirit: Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality, explores the scientific foundations of transpersonal psychology to show it is possible to be both a rigorous scientist and a spiritual seeker.
