About me

Gender Female
Occupation Literary scholar, consciousness researcher, writer
Location Houston, Texas, United States
Introduction I am a literary scholar and consciousness researcher interested in exceptional, even anomalous, creativity and intelligence. I accent the role of enhanced right-hemisphere dominance in literary and artistic creation along with mind-altering or dissociative states of consciousness; dreams, NDEs, hypnosis, séances, Ouija boards. Evidence even exists for shared states of consciousness in close couplings and collaborating minds.
Interests Reading and Writing, bike riding, Watching Colbert on TV
Favorite Books So many!! Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, Antonio Damasio, Self comes to Mind, Joseph Ledoux, The Emotional Brain, :The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life, The Feeling of What Happens; Dickens, The Female Mystic; Wouter Hannegraaff, New Age Religion and Western Culture, Underhill, Mysticism; McGilchrist, The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World (I tabbed more in this book than any other). Currently reading: Jane Roberts: Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul. Quite mad, but still interesting.
