The connection between spirituality and transpersonal states of consciousness and modern science is a topic that fascinates me greatly.
For over 16 years, I have been exploring profound spiritual wisdom, often under extreme conditions. In doing so, I focus on the foundation of collective oneness. At the same time, I conduct systematic longitudinal studies under controlled conditions. This includes long-term studies under sustained physiological stress. This work has led to a learnable methodology for the deliberate dissociation of narrative self-models. Using this method, introspection enables access to pre-reflective, evolutionarily conserved behavioral and regulatory schemas.
It combines simultaneous observations from the "I" and "he/she" perspectives. Since affective and cognitive foundations are phylogenetically predefined, the behavioral patterns of others can be modeled using internal schemas and empirically tested.
My research focuses on the high-resolution observation of organismic control processes at the intersection of transpersonal psychology, neurology, and evolutionary biology.
