The Unconscious Has Bad Manners: Stanislav Grof and the Psychedelic Psyche
<p>In this episode of <em>The Observing I</em>, we enter the work of Stanislav Grof, the Czech-born psychiatrist whose psychedelic research led him to a stranger view of the unconscious: one shaped not only by childhood and memory, but by birth, death, the body, symbols, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. We explore what Grof’s maps of the psyche still offer, where they overreach, and why powerful experiences can feel true even when their meaning remains uncertain.</p><p>Much love, David x</p>
