The Cosmic Game discusses the broadest philosophical, metaphysical, and spiritual insights gleaned in Grof's research concerning human nature and reality, addressing the most fundamental questions human beings have asked about the nature of existence since time immemorial. Insights from research into unordinary states of consciousness portray existence as an astonishing play of the cosmic creative principle that transcends time, space, linear causality, and polarities of every kind and suggest an identity of the individual psyche.

Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such "psychic phenomena" are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don't believe they exist at all. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread.

In August 1977, Gopi Krishna gave a series of eight discourses to a group of spiritual seekers from Canada at his Central Institute for Kundalini Research near Srinagar, Kashmir, India. In this transcript of these talks, he discusses in detail the characteristics of an enlightened person and various methods to achieve the state of "Cosmic Consciousness". He also spoke on other related topics, such as karma, reincarnation, and meditation. Much of this invaluable material is being presented for the first time and does not appear in any of his other books.

Why is there a scientific taboo against discussing ideas like the extended mind and ESP? In this fully-cited 8000 word article, futurist Marcus T Anthony identifies some of the illogical and inconsistent thinking in cutting edge thinking about the future, especially in relation to attempts to consider the value of intuitive insight, the extended mind, ESP and the idea of entanglement in physics.

Psychology’s greatest blind spot: itself. When developmental psychology insists infants “fight for survival” or seek mirrored recognition, it commits Adultomorphism—projecting adult cognitive, affective, and relational architectures onto beings without the neurostructural or experiential basis for such capacities. This book names the foundational lens through which psychology, psychiatry, and childhood theory generate their most authoritative frameworks: survival as origin, relation as structure, and the adult mind as developmental prototype. These are not interpretations layered ...
