Stanislav Grof on - how some hrs on #LSD-25 changed his whole professional and personal life for the rest of his life and - how inadequate and very narrow the model of the psyche of western medicine and psychiatry is with NO CATEGORY for #MYSTICAL or #SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES "Direct experience of spiritual realities is seen as - manifestations of serious mental disease - death of the body is seen as the end of conscious activity. Therefore, people like Ramakrishna, Jesus, Buddha were crazy." Ramakrishna was called: #Schizophrenic St. Teresa of Avila: Hysterical #Psychotic St. John of the Cross: Hereditary Degenerative Experiences that liberate you are seen as crazy. "...and so it occurs to me that science, religion, psychology, and to some extent the government is against experiences which can open you up and not only cause you to lose your fear of death, but to lose your fear of living." https://youtu.be/Bn-P-S6eFxQ
