Rethinking Reality: A Modern Odyssey Into Consciousness and Spirit

By Eric M. Dowling

This manuscript draws on a research project that began in 1978 and has continued with renewed focus since 2017. It explores consciousness, neuro-symbolic trance, and shamanic and mediumistic states using structured protocols and observational methods. The manuscript is in the advanced stages of preparation and is intended for both academic and general readers interested in contemporary approaches to consciousness studies.
