OPDI webinar: Parallel Realities: Misunderstood and Untapped Human Potential

online

There is no one way of seeing and experiencing reality. Reality is experienced on a continuum. Those who experience the extreme end of the continuum are often misunderstood, feared and shunned in Western Culture. How it has been responded to has changed and transformed over time. It has been seen as a curse, illness, divine gift, demonic possession, etc. Currently it is seen from a medical model point of view- Psychosis. We will discuss how it has been understood throughout history and in various cultures. Through this journey we will come to a newfound wisdom of parallel realities and way of interacting with those who experience the extreme end of the reality continuum.
