 Worthy Successor to My Altered States of Consciousness book, May 30, 2011
By Charles T. T a r t (San Franciso Bay Area, United States)

Back in 1969, I published Altered States of Consciousness to meet the need of the many who were experiencing altered states of consciousness (ASCs), but lacked any reliable scientific information, and to promote research on ASCs. The book was unexpectedly and phenomenally successful and today, more than 40 years later, I still get letters of thanks from people about how the book helped them make sense out of the unusual things that were happening to them. Courses on ASCs were started all over the world using the book as a text, and some research was indeed stimulated.
My only regret was that for many years my ASC book remained the most useful book on the subject! I had hoped that research would be so stimulated that my book would be quite outmoded within a few years, but the public hysteria about psychedelic drugs stopped that and other lines of research for a long time.
Now my old ASC book has a more-than-worthy successor. This is it! So any of you who were helped by my book long ago, you want to read this one!
In accordance with current fashion to reveal interests, I have written a preface to these volumes, but I have no monetary interest in them whatsoever....
