Frontiers of Consciousness examines the full spectrum of consciousness research and is a recognized classic for all who wish to expand the limits of their 'reality.'

In its twenty-two thought-provoking articles written by leading psychologists, physicists, behavioral scientists, parapsychologists, and philosphers, Frontiers of Consciousness examines such diverse areas as meditation and psychic research, biofeedback, paraphysics, ecological consciousness, space travel, and extraterrestrial life.

Aside from exploring these aspects of human consciousness, Frontiers of Consciousness raises many questions that have traditionally been the province of philosophy and religion: What are the limits of human awareness? How can they be expanded? What is the nature of teh releationship between the mind and the body? What is consciousness?

But Frontiers of Consciousness is not just an examination of previous consciousness research. It also provides insturction, guidance, and resouirce information to start you on your own program of research. As John White statesin his introduction: 'The tools and techniques for the advancement of knowledge and spiritual growth are largely within your reach already.'

East West Journal: 'One thing is guaranteed: after reading this book you will have deeper, sublter understanding of the relatinship between mind and body, and between consciousness and the universe.'

West Coast Review of Books: 'Dispels some of the myths which limit us from accepting thenew realities.'

John White is internaitonalliy known in the fields of consciousness researach, human development, and parascience. Mr. White is the former president of Alpha Logics, a school for self-directed growth in body, mind, and spirit and was the director of education for the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a research organization established to study human potential and planetary problems.
