The Esalen Institute Transformation Project: a Preliminary Report
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Esalen Institute Transformation Project we are developing an archive of scientific studies concerned with exceptional psychophysical capacities that appear in sport, contemplative practice, the performing arts and other disciplines. In a related and recent study of sport participants, a colleague, Rhea White, and I (Murphy & White, 1978) collected several thousand incidents of altered mental states, paranormal experiences and extraordinary physical feats. Many of these incidents resemble stories and reports of yogis, Zen masters, Sufis and other adepts of the contemplative traditions. It seems fair to say that any serious student of such traditional yogic disciplines who considers reports by athletes of their interior states can find clear correspondences between the two fields of experience.
