Developing Supersensible Perception: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds through Entheogens, Prayer, and Nondual Awareness
A detailed guide to awakening your powers of supersensory perception
Details methods and techniques for the acquisition of supersensory powers distilled from Rudolf Steiner’s 400 published volumes and from Patañjali’s Yoga Sutra
Explores acquisition of these powers at birth (genetic) and through entheogens, mantra and prayer, effort and exercise, and nondual meditation
Includes a map of consciousness based on the work of neuroscientist Karl Pribram and physicist David Bohm
According to philosopher Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), there exists within every human being the potential for developing supersensory powers and, with these powers activated, the ability to awaken the higher self and attain knowledge of non-physical higher worlds. Steiner himself worked diligently throughout his life to develop his faculties of “supersensible perception” and, scattered throughout his many works, he describes methods by which to activate and operate these supersensory-cognitive systems.
Distilling techniques from Steiner’s more than 400 published volumes, Shelli Renée Joye, Ph.D., presents a practical, modern approach to acquiring, cultivating, and maintaining supersensible perception and developing higher consciousness. The five approaches she studies include acquisition by birth (genetic), entheogens, mantra and prayer, effort and exercise, and Samadhi--equated by many with nondual awareness. Adding another dimension to Steiner’s methods, the author shows how these steps are powerfully aligned with 4th-century South Indian sage Patañjali’s teachings in the Yoga Sutra .
The author explores how to develop what you have acquired through imaginative, active, or intuitive thinking, as well as how to learn through inner guidance and how to transform knowledge gained from books into spiritual advancement. She also shares her own extraordinary experiences of supersensory networks of consciousness.
Connecting Steiner’s ideas to modern advances in quantum physics, psychedelic science, and consciousness studies, Dr. Joye shows how each of us is capable of developing supersensible perception and expanding our awareness to connect with cosmic consciousness.

I was excitedly looking forward to reading this book because with my experience in psychic phenomena, I wanted to see what a scientist has to say.
It makes a difference that Joye also had psychic experiences, which led her into the study of consciousness.
The title suggests a book of instruction. Actually you'll find instruction in the first part of the book, on meditation. The latter part delves into the mathematics of consciousness.
All in all, Joye's book supports my experiences and interpretations. I had concluded early on that the miracles we see and feel are really part of the natural order. That indeed what seems supernatural is not. That all is natural. And we are now equipped with the means to discover what consciousness is and where it resides.
To put everything into a scientific perspective doesn't force our views into a shades-of-gray existence. Rather, to find that the natural order is even more wondrous than what we imagined opens up a universe of scintillating, seemingly fantastic delights. We have more potential, more power than what we realize.
Out of fear of ridicule, many don't speak of their life-changing experiences, whether out-of-body, born again, kundalini, spontaneous healing, communicating with the dead,...the list goes on. Yet so many people experience what seems the unexplainable that it is probably a common occurrence.
Joye explains how to meditate and the goodness of why. And then she takes us into the physiology of consciousness, which involves mathematics deeper than my mind goes. Nevertheless it is well to stick with this study, because every now and then a flash of understanding emerges that explains, substantiates, and reveals what is real and what our potential is for greater fulfillment. For example it is within all of us to communicate telepathically.
If you've enjoyed psychic phenomena and you want to learn more, this book is worth the effort to explore further. Good luck.

Not what I expected. I felt like she was giving a book review of someone else's work, like a summary, not practical applicable steps. Difficult reading, like reading organic chemistry! I didn't grasp all the theories but I did get some of the ideas & the implications are amazing!
