This course will begin by looking at psychological characteristics of people who are living in a permanent mystical state. Next, we explore a framing of spiritual self-development in a scientific context, and then we look at specific techniques and practices, such as guided imagery and meditation. These can be applied to self-transformation leading to states of exceptional well-being including persistent transcendent states of consciousness.

This course is taught by Dr. Imants Barušs.
