The Greatest Journey: Consciousness and the Mystery of Death

It is hard to imagine a more universal and personally significant topic for everyone than death and dying. Throughout our lives, we all lose relatives, friends, teachers, and acquaintances, and in the end, we are left alone with the necessity of our own biological end. The key idea of Grof is that the experience of death and rebirth — the greatest journey that awaits each of us — is itself a means of healing.

This journey is examined in the book from all possible angles: historical, theoretical, therapeutic, scientific, and philosophical. The book provides a detailed overview of the research on human consciousness that has revolutionized the understanding of death and dying and has opened new approaches in working with the dying.
