Consciousness and Creativity is a new book designed to bring together the now separated and specialized disciplines involved in studying human consciousness and to communicate the felt experience of different cultures, both ancient and modern.

The purpose of Consciousness and Creativity is to provide a forum for current thinking on the structure of reality at its most fundamental levels. The book seeks to:

* Explore the social implications and applications of research in the psychology, sociology, and anthropology of consciousness and culture, as well as the contributions of physics and holistic medicine.

* Stimulate creative thinking and new understandings of ancient as well as emerging cultures

* Focus interest on the reintegration of human beings with the natural environment, and

* Integrate the truths about human beings and society now scattered among many disciplines.
