The deeper self: an expanded view of consciousness.
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences October 1, 2017 Steve Paulson, Siri Hustvedt, Mark Solms et al.
Three experts—a writer, a historian of psychology, and a neuropsychologist—discuss how unconscious impulses, desires, and feelings might be willfully brought into conscious awareness, whether this unveiling leads to genuine self-knowledge or empowerment, and whether the unconscious can be methodically tapped for creative inspiration. They explore how an expanded understanding of consciousness might help people flourish, think beyond preconceived categories, and frame spiritual experiences or offer spiritual nourishment. The conversation covers noetic experiences, intuition, peak experiences, and Jung's collective unconscious.
