We've grown used to thinking that things happen to us from the outside in. We are small and the world is large. At birth we are supposed to be simple creatures who gradually look and hear and smell and touch, thus slowly accumulating all that we come to know. We supposedly learn behavior by rote, simply repeating the actions of others until they are also stored away, available for future use. In this view, everything happens from the outside in. This course is going to express a heresy: Everything actually happens from the inside out. At birth, we are not simple creatures; we are already complex repositories of memories and behaviors. When we look and hear and smell and touch, we are not simply pulling in from the outside; we are reaching out from the inside. There seems to be something inside us that already knows who we are and who we will become. This course will present scientific support for this view, and teach a variety of techniques for accessing our inner world, including dreams, synchronicity, chakras, meditation, divinatory tools, light-and-sound machines, etc.
