The Infinite Consciousness, April 23, 2006
Dr. Charles Tart - Charles T. Tart studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before deciding to become a psychologist. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1963, and then postdoctoral training with Ernest R. Hilgard at Stanford University. He is currently a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the Davis campus of the University of California, a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California, and Core Faculty at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. He is internationally known for his research with altered states of consciousness, transpersonal psychology, and parapsychology. Tart's 13 books include two that have been called classics, viz. "Altered States of Consciousness" (1969) and "Transpersonal Psychologies" (1975), as well as "On Being Stoned: A Psychological Study of Marijuana Intoxication" (1971), "States of Consciousness" (1975), "Symposium on Consciousness" (1975, with P. Lee, R. Ornstein, D. Galin & A. Deikman), "Learning to Use Extrasensory Perception" (1976), "Psi: Scientific Studies of the Psychic Realm" (1977), "Mind at Large: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Symposia on the Nature of Extrasensory Perception" (1979, with H. Puthoff & R. Targ), "Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential" (1986) "Open Mind, Discriminating Mind: Reflections on Human Possibilities" (1989), as well as more than 250 journal articles. Recent books include "Living the Mindful Life," (1994), which further explores the possibilities of awakening and "Body Mind Spirit: Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality" and his most recent book, "Mind Science: Meditation Training for Practical People" (2000). As well as a laboratory researcher, he has been a student of Aikido, in which he holds a black belt, of meditation, of G. I. Gurdjieff's work and other psychological and spiritual disciplines. His primary goal is to build bridges between the scientific and spiritual communities and to help bring about a refinement and integration of Western and Eastern approaches for knowing the world and for personal and social growth, with his latest project (which has received the year 2000 award for the Best Social Innovation in the Science category from the Institute for Social Inventions) being The Archives of Scientists' Transcendent Experiences (TASTE)

Some endorsements:
“Eva Herr interviews some of the most brilliant, creative and visionary scientists, philosophers, physicists, and critical thinkers in our world, all with impeccable credentials and truly remarkable accomplishments… they take us on a journey of discovery that few traditional and conventional scientists dare to take.” From the Foreward by Joyce A. Kovelman, PhD
“Science grows at the edges, and Eva Herr’s CONSCIOUSNESS is on the edge. This book contains information that will force a re-writing of the textbooks in psychology and neuroscience. This is your peek into the future. Don’t pass it up.” Larry Dossey, M.D., author of The Power of Premonitions and Reinventing Medicine
“Eva Herr has perhaps written the best introduction to the new developing post-materialist scientific paradigm on consciousness based on quantum physics. Consciousness – Bridging the Gap Between Conventional Science and the New Science of Quantum Mechanics is an important read." Amit Goswami, author of The Self-Aware Universe, The Quantum Doctor, and Physics of the Soul
We need to change the world and we can only change it if we change ourselves. Changing ourselves means changing our consciousness — how we think about the world and ourselves in the world. But we won't change our consciousness unless and until we realize that consciousness is not something abstract and imaginary but the most concrete element in human life — and in the universe. The new sciences, especially quantum physics, lend unprecedented credence to this emerging insight. Eva Herr in her brilliant collection of pioneering thinkers and scientists demonstrates this crucial fact. Her book CONSCIOUSNESS should be read by all conscious people — and that means all healthy and responsible people, whatever they do and wherever they live on this precious but deeply endangered planet.
