More About This Book

Overview

Living Deeply transcends any one approach by focusing on common elements of transformation across a variety of traditions, while affirming and supporting the diversity of approaches across religious, spiritual, scientific, academic, and cultural backgrounds. Each chapter in the book ends with Experiences of Transformation, exercises drawn from wisdom traditions or scientific investigations meant to enhance your direct experience of the material.

Opportunities to actively engage in your own transformation and that of our world are woven into the fabric of your everyday life. Learning more about the terrain of consciousness transformation can not only give you a map, but can help you become the cartographer of your own transformative journey. Research over the last decade at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has systematically surveyed hundreds of people's stories of their own transformations, as well as conducting over 50 in-depth interviews with teachers and masters of the world's spiritual, religious, and transformative traditions.

No matter who you are,where you come from, or what your current path is - whether you seek to transform your life completely or simply make adjustments that will add a layer of richness and depth to your life - exploring the many ways that transformation is stimulated and sustained can hold great power. Weaving together cutting-edge science with wisdom from teachers of the world's transformative traditions this book explores how people experience deep shifts in their consciousness, and how those shifts can lead to healing and wholeness.

Research over the last decade at the Institute of Noetic Sciences has explored in depth the phenomenon by which people make significant shifts in the way they experience and view the world. Focusing in particular on positive transformations in consciousness, or those that result in improved health, well-being, and sense of meaning, purpose,and belonging, hundreds of people's stories of their own transformations were included in the research, as well as in-depth interviews with over 50 teachers and masters of the world's spiritual, religious, and transformative traditions.

Authors Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D., Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., and Tina Amorok, Psy.D. - will begin conducting workshops based on the information they have gathered for this book. These workshops will blend the rigors of science with the deep wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions. Drs. Schlitz, Vieten, and Amorok will offer key insights from the decade-long qualitative and quantitative research study, of how people transform their lives. The workshops will include rigorous inquiry, group dialogue, and direct experience about the kinds of transformations in consciousness that change a person’s worldview to one that is more connected to others.

Also available is a companion DVD.

Tina Amorok, PsyD, is a clinical and research psychologist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences where she coedited the anthology, Consciousness and Healing: Integral Approaches to Mind-Body Medicine and is an investigator on the IONS Transformations of Consciousness Study. with a background in integral health and healing, clinical psychology, and change management, Amorok has designed and implemented programs for professional, university, corporate, and lay sectors on wellness and transformation.

Dr. Robert A.F. Thurman is the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University, President of the Tibet House U.S., a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization, and President of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies, a non-profit affiliated with the Center for Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and dedicated to the publication of translations of important texts from the Tibetan Tanjur. Thurman's work and insights are grounded in more than 35 years of serious academic scholarship. He has a B.A., A.M. and PhD degrees from Harvard and has studied in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in India and the United States. A long-time advocate of Buddhist monasticism, in 1962, Thurman became the first American ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. He gave up his robes after several years, however, when he discovered he could be most effective in the American equivalent of the monastery, the university. He has written both scholarly and popular books, and has lectured widely all over the world. His special interest is the exploration of the Indo-Tibetan philosophical and psychological traditions, with a view to their relevance to parallel currents of contemporary thought and science.

    Transformative Practices Made Exciting

    This book is certainly fulfilling its title. I look forward to reading it daily after spending some quiet time in meditation. The core of what I read each morning goes into my computer. The authors have done a great service in writing such a clear, inspiring, and informative account of their ten year research. I am already feeling the fruits of their insights.

    Take it on the road!

    Our book group read this wonderful book twice (first time we have ever done this)! Not only is it a joy to read - the snippets of the conversations the authors had with people who have experienced personal transformation are wonderful! But it really does help anyone understand that having and/or creating a transformative experience for oneself is possible and, in fact, likely with a simple self-chosen practice (one of mine is cutting veggies for soup). Three members of our book group have created other groups in our community to study this book - they are on their 2nd set of study groups. Creating study groups for this book is a possible way for helping to create the "Shift" that must take place on this planet sooner than we all think....and that will only happen one person at a time until we reach the tipping point! Go for it!!! You will not be dissapointed. And the DVD is really great as well.

    Living Deeply

    The approach to consciousness transformation laid out in this book is well researched and many of the spiritual truths presented will resonate with people from all backgrounds. I would most recommend this work for individuals who have some exposure to the study of comparative religion since it is a fresh approach but the reader will be familiar with the faiths and concepts being discussed. That being said, if this book is your first introduction to a variety of spiritual traditions perhaps it will encourage you to explore them more deeply! Some of the exercises at the end of each chapter seem repetitive so the reader may wish to pick and choose which exercises s/he finds most relevant or exciting to participate in upon their first reading. All in all this is an excellent resource to assist you in building a strong personal spiritual practice.
