Waking from sleep with Steve Taylor

Steve Taylor is the author of The Fall, Making Time and his latest Waking from Sleep. In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of ‘sleep’ from which we sometimes ‘wake up’, into a more intense and complete reality. Eckhart Tolle has described his work as ‘An important contribution to the shift in consciousness which is happening on our planet.’

His writings cover a wide range - spiritual experiences, history, anthropology, the psychology of time perception and of human well-being. Steve has lectured at the University of Manchester and is now a researcher in transpersonal psychology at Liverpool John Moores University.

On this interview (approx 26 mins in length) you will hear how:
*Normal human consciousness tends to be in a state of ‘sleep
*Indigenous peoples, and young children, tend to live in a natural state of wakefulness;
*There are two types of awakening, one exilerating and wild, the other more stable and serene;
*We make a conscious effort to generate waking experiences;
*Dance, music, meditation, sports and relaxation can awaken you.
