April 1996 Presented at 'Tucson II - Towards a Science of Consciousness' conference in Tucson Arizona Comment The Tucson conference was a great experience and meeting place. I made a brief presentation at one of the parallel sessions (see link below to the complete session), following a lively presentation by A.L.Smith on the comparison between cosmic consciousness and LSD experience. The hall was packed, more it seemed out of interest in the latter than the former. It was a hard act to follow, and althought the Krishnamurti's Dog Problem aroused some curiosity, there was not much scope for debating the important part: mysticism as the 1st person science of consciousness. The paper outline promises to introduce the work of Douglas Harding, but there was not space in the abstract or time at the conference to do so. Hence I include a link to Harding's Web site below.
