Hypersentience

Marcia Moore takes you beyond astrology into a bright new world of health, wisdom and transcendent joy…

"Experiencing the blissful state that the practitioners of yoga call samadhi can have practical advantages. Real joy-the lift that springs spontaneously from the revelation of the glory of creation-can be physically and psychologically beneficial."

"Truly, we are now living in the midst of Armageddon. At this moment of supreme planetary crisis every effort must be made to regenerate the ailing body of humanity, to redeem our discordant past, and to salvage the best elements of modern culture as seeds for future seasons of growth. Out of our concern with the current world situation, we have decided to publicize our research even before we can vindicate our activities with a mass of meticulously documented statistical studies. In short, we are 'blowing our cover,' with the full knowledge that we are taking a calculated risk in stirring up resistances before we are strong enough to withstand the opposition. There simply isn't time to fiddle while Rome burns."

"Journeys into the Bright World is an intensely personal account of the stages by which we came to believe that in the right hands this unique substance could be safely, easily and advantageously applied toward the psychospiritual regeneration of planet Earth."

Introduction

The theme of this book is the sacramental use of medical technology in raising the consciousness of man. Originally, our intent was to produce a guide to "samadhi therapy" as facilitated by the anesthetic agent ketamine hydrochloride. However, our accumulating notes soon transformed themselves into an intensely personal account of the stages by which we came to believe that in the right hands this unique substance could be safely, easily and advantageously applied toward the psychospiritual regeneration of planet Earth.
