Consciousness & Altered States

Albert Hofmann "Expansion" Ancient & Modern:  In 2005-2006, an exhibit in a major L.A. museum called attention to the nature and creative value of Ecstasy (exalted altered states of Consciousness).  The pivotal discovery that resulted in a "revolution of consciousness" was made by the Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann at Sandoz Laboratories on April 16, 1943.  The substance became known as LSD-25, and joins an extensive list of substances used throughout the ages to assist in Vision, Rapture and Magic.
This set of lectures by Dr. Hoeller explores non-ordinary states of consciousness and their practice and value in ecstasy and Gnosis.  The lecture on Dr. Albert Hofmann was given as a tribute to his 100th birthday, celebrated in January 2006 in Basel, Switzerland.
Since exalted states of consciousness were always of interest to Gnostics, this collection of lectures salutes Dr. Hofmann and investigates his and other known "doors of perception".

Altered Consciousness, Culture and Psychology




Friedrich Nietzsche, by Edvard Munch (1906) Existentialism and the Roots of 21st Century Philosophy is a set of lectures by Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller on how rationalism and dogmatism came to be defeated by existentialist thought, and how this in turn led to a renewed appreciation of Alexandrian and other ancient wisdom of Gnostic and Hermetic character.
