PRAISE FOR WHEN THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENS

RAM DASS
Author of Be Here Now

This account of a remarkable life spent searching for new frontiers of consciousness is fascinating.

ODE MAGAZINE

What all these [Grofs] books have in common is the courage to speak in a forthright manner about experiences that are often judged as dysfunctional when expressed in general conversation.

WISDOM: PUGET SOUND EDITION

Grof is one of the great explorers of this century. In this book, he has given us a collection of stories that, like those of Marco Polo, are so outside most of our experience that at first one tends to doubt their reality. However, if you are able to stay open, you see how profound, valid, and important these stories are and how much they extend our understanding of our own and humanitys possibilities.

JAMES FADIMAN, PH.D.
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology

Far from the neurochemical artifacts and symptoms of toxic psychoses that main stream psychiatry would assert, Grof provides a compelling alternative approach to understanding and responding to such perturbations of inner experience ... In his most recent book [When the Impossible Happens], he has mapped a course for a new and more conscious field of psychiatry, one that honors the sacred plants and alkaloids passed down from ancient shamanic practitioners and discovered in modern laboratories.

SHIFT: AT THE FRONTIERS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
The Institute of Noetic Sciences

In the late eighteenth century the Australian platypus was an impossibility. The scientific community refused to consider this paradigm-breaking mammalvenomous, egg-laying, and duck-billedas anything but a hoax. Two hundred years later we still refuse to accept that the impossible does happen. Stanislav Grof challenges this narrow minded refusal by half a century of courageously unbiased research of non-ordinary reality in the depth of the human psyche.

BROTHER DAVID STEINDL-RAST, OSB

In this remarkable book, Stanislav Grof reflects upon half a century of research and experience in the realm of non-ordinary realities. The quality and quantity of these incidents place the ball squarely in the court of conventional science and psychotherapy, challenging their perspectives on personal identity, psychosis, and the very nature of reality. Some readers will dismiss When the Impossible Happens as the ravings of a deluded eccentric; for others, the book will be a life-changing experience.

STANLEY KRIPPNER, PH.D.
Coeditor, Varieties of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence

Acclaimed academics ... especially the psychiatrist Stanislav Grof author of numerous books on non-ordinary states of consciousness including his latest, When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Realities, go to extreme lengths to assure their unconventional research will stand up to scientific scrutiny ... When the Impossible Happens is sheer entertainment of the voyeuristic type ... That he is one of the foremost practitioners of LSD therapy adds greatly to his story.

Stan Grofs mastery is to braid the wisdom found in the worlds spiritual traditions with scientific research. His own accounts of non-ordinary realities are validating, insightful reminders of how prevalent and important these realities are to our own spiritual development and creative contributions to the world.

ANGELES ARRIEN, PH.D.
Cultural anthropologist and author of The Four-Fold Way and The Second Half of Life

Stanislav Grof is a pioneering psychiatrist, world-renowned for his immense contributions to the field of psychotherapy (through methods involving LSD, as well as Holotropic Breathwork) and also to an expanded scientific paradigm that takes the spiritual or transpersonal dimensions of existence seriously. I believe this book will be recognized as a watershed work in the transition to a new cosmology for our time.
