"There was a major shift that occurred in the '60′s, the shift from what you call absolute reality,
thinking that what you saw and what your thinking mind thought it
understood was only one kind of reality. And there were other kinds of
reality.
William James, of course, had said that many years before, if you remember his quote, “Our
normal waking consciousness is but one special type of consciousness,
whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there
lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We might spend
our entire life without knowing of their existence, but apply the
requisite stimulus and there they are in their completeness”.
It’s interesting that William James said that when he was a professor at
Harvard. I was thrown out of William James Hall for doing what he
said."
