How Evidence and Altered Consciousness Bring Us Better Living and Better
Dying
How making up our minds and the makeup of our minds can help us live
better and die better. We live in a climate where feelings trump
reason and evidence. Lies are treated as “alternative facts.” At the
same time, it seems our culture does not want us to treat altered or
higher states of consciousness seriously. Focusing both on evidence
and on such states of consciousness can reorient our attitudes. Jack
Crittenden asks the reader to think about life after death, about the
basis of morality and the essence of spirituality, about the meaning
of happiness, about the path of dying, and about the proper role of
work in our lives and how education connects to that role. What if our
memories, thoughts, and whole personality lived on after we died? What
if morality were based on reasons and evidence and not on God and
sacred texts? What if happiness lies not in what we think, how we
feel, and what we long for, but in living in the present and in the
dying of the self itself? Experiences of and the evidence on altered
and higher states of consciousness can lead us to better lives and
better deaths.
