Journey Back To Consciousness

At its essence JOURNEY BACK is about consciousness, in particular the interplay between creativity and non-ordinary states of consciousness, including the psychotic state experienced by the mentally ill, the Jungian state of "active imagination" experienced by artists, musicians, and writers lost in the creative process, the dream state, and the mystical states experienced by spiritual seekers in meditation and through the use of psychotropic substances.

From time to time I will be posting stories and articles on non-ordinary states of consciousness. Click on the New Fiction button to read a short story I have recently written called "Minding Everyone's Business."
