Entheogenesis: Toward an Expanded Worldview for Our Time
Journal of Humanistic Psychology August 9, 2017 R. Metzner 4 citations
The concept of consciousness expansion, historically primal to psychedelics, offers two advantages over the term 'tripping': it links psychedelic drugs with other expansion methods like meditation and creative visioning, and it contrasts with consciousness contraction seen in concentration and focus. Both expansions and contractions occur at individual states and societal worldviews. Contemporary global culture is shifting toward an expanded worldview that acknowledges both material and spiritual dimensions of existence.
