A professor of religious studies meticulously documents his insights from 73 high-dose LSD sessions conducted over the course of 20 years• Chronicles, with unprecedented rigor, the author’s systematic journey into a unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence• Makes a powerful case for the value of psychedelically induced spiritual experience and discusses the challenge of integrating these experiences into everyday life• Shows how psychedelic experience can take you beyond self-transformation into collective transformation and help birth the future of humanityOn November 24, 1979, Christopher M. Bache took the first step on what would become a life-changing journey. Drawing from his training as a philosopher of religion, Bache set out to explore his mind and the mind of the universe as deeply and systematically as possible--with the help of the psychedelic drug LSD. Following protocols established by Stanislav Grof, Bache’s 73 high-dose LSD sessions over the course of 20 years drew him into a deepening communion with cosmic consciousness.Journey alongside professor Bache as he touches the living intelligence of our universe--an intelligence that both embraced and crushed him--and demonstrates how direct experience of the divine can change your perspective on core issues in philosophy and religion. Chronicling his 73 sessions, the author reveals the spiral of death and rebirth that took him through the collective unconscious into the creative intelligence of the universe. Making a powerful case for the value of psychedelically induced spiritual experience, Bache shares his immersion in the fierce love and creative intent of the unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence. He describes the incalculable value of embracing the pain and suffering he encountered in his sessions and the challenges he faced integrating his experiences into his everyday life. His journey documents a shift from individual consciousness to collective consciousness, from archetypal reality to Divine Oneness and the Diamond Luminosity that lies outside cyclic existence.Pushing the boundaries of theory and practice, the author shows how psychedelic experience can take you beyond self-transformation into collective transformation, beyond the present into the future, revealing spirit and matter in perfect balance.

Argues that philosophical reflection today must include the findings of depth psychology and the critical study of non-ordinary states of consciousness.Argues that philosophical reflection today must include the findings of depth psychology and the critical study of non-ordinary states of consciousness.Combining philosophical reflections with deep self-exploration to delve into the ancient mystery of death and rebirth, this book emphasizes collective rather than individual transformation. Drawing upon twenty years of experience working with nonordinary states, Bache argues that when the deep psyche is hyper-stimulated using Stanislav Grof's powerful therapeutic methods, the healing that results sometimes extends beyond the individual to the collective unconscious of humanity itself.Dark Night, Early Dawn is the most important book I have read in recent years. Whenever I present a brief summary of its major ideas, either to students in my graduate classes or to general audiences, it unfailingly arouses intense interest. I believe Bache's work evokes this response because he has articulated, with superb clarity, rigor, and depth of insight, a radically expanded perspective on the deeper nature of individual human experience, a perspective that many have been gradually intuiting but had not yet been able clearly to formulate."With moving honesty and a rare lack of inflation, Bache has brought forth a conception of the human psyche that intimately reconnects the personal ordeals and awakenings of the individual to the larger collective suffering and spiritual transformation of the entire human species, at this most crucial of historical thresholds. This is a book to read soon and to integrate carefully." — Richard Tarnas, author of The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View"This very important contribution to transpersonal psychology, I know very few books that represent such a unique balance of critical thinking and deep personal experience. The author's extensive knowledge of philosophical, religious, and psychological literature makes it possible for him to provide solid grounding for the profound insights from his nonordinary states of consciousness. Brings unusual clarity into several important problem areas and represents an important step toward an integration and synthesis of the observations and experiences involved. Christopher Bache is one of the most creative and imaginative thinkers in the transpersonal field." — Stanislav Grof, author of The Cosmic Game: Explorations of the Frontiers of Human Consciousness and Beyond the Brain: Birth, Death, and Transcendence in PsychotherapyChristopher M. Bache is Professor of Religious Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University. He is the author of Lifecycles: Reincarnation and the Web of Life.

A paradigm-breaking exploration of how collective intelligence functions in groups, with practical guidelines for teachers.A pioneering work in teaching and transpersonal psychology, The Living Classroom explores the dynamics of collective consciousness in the classroom. In this second edition, Bache has, in his own words, "come out of the psychedelic closet," speaking candidly about the role that psychedelics played in the development of his integral, holistic pedagogy. Combining scientific research with personal accounts collected over thirty years, Bache examines the subtle influences that radiate invisibly around teachers as they work-unintended, cognitive resonances that spring up between teachers and students in the classroom. While these kinds of synchronistic connections are often overlooked by traditional academics, Bache demonstrates that they occur too frequently and are too pointed to be dismissed as mere coincidence. Drawing upon Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic fields, Bache proposes that well-taught courses generate "learning fields" around them, forms of collective consciousness that can trigger new insights and startling personal transformations. Moving beyond theory, this book is rich with student stories and offers practical, hands-on strategies for teachers who want to begin working with these learning fields to take their teaching to a more conscious level.

Un profesor de estudios religiosos documenta meticulosamente sus ideas a partir de 73 sesiones de altas dosis de LSD realizadas a lo largo de 20 años• Crónicas, con un rigor sin precedentes, del viaje sistemático del autor hacia un campo unificado de consciencia que subyace en toda existencia física• Presenta argumentos poderosos a favor del valor de la experiencia espiritual inducida psicodélicamente y analiza el desafío de integrar estas experiencias en la vida cotidiana• Muestra cómo la experiencia psicodélica puede llevarte más allá de la autotransformación hacia una transformación colectiva y ayudar a que nazca el futuro de la humanidadEl 24 de noviembre de 1979, Christopher M. Bache dio el primer paso en lo que se convertiría en un viaje que cambiaría su vida. A partir de su formación como filósofo de la religión, Bache se propuso explorar su mente y la mente del universo de la manera más profunda y sistemática posible, con la ayuda de la droga psicodélica LSD. Siguiendo los protocolos establecidos por Stanislav Grof, las 73 sesiones de altas dosis de LSD de Bache a lo largo de 20 años lo llevaron a una comunión cada vez más profunda con la consciencia cósmica.Viaje junto al profesor Bache mientras toca la inteligencia viva de nuestro universo, una inteligencia que lo abrazó y lo aplastó, y demuestra cómo la experiencia directa de lo divino puede cambiar su perspectiva sobre temas centrales en filosofía y religión. Al narrar sus 73 sesiones, el autor revela la espiral de muerte y renacimiento que lo llevó a través del inconsciente colectivo hasta la inteligencia creativa del universo. Al defender poderosamente el valor de la experiencia espiritual inducida psicodélicamente, Bache comparte su inmersión en el amor feroz y la intención creativa del campo unificado de consciencia que subyace en toda existencia física. Describe el valor incalculable de aceptar el dolor y el sufrimiento que encontró en sus sesiones y los desafíos que enfrentó al integrar sus experiencias en su vida cotidiana. Su viaje documenta un cambio de la consciencia individual a la consciencia colectiva, de la realidad arquetípica a la unidad divina y la luminosidad diamante que se encuentra fuera de la existencia cíclica.Al ampliar los límites de la teoría y la práctica, el autor muestra cómo la experiencia psicodélica puede llevarte más allá de la autotransformación hacia la transformación colectiva, más allá del presente hacia el futuro, revelando espíritu y materia en perfecto equilibrio.
