Daniel Ingram, MD is a meditation master (and self-described Arahant, meaning one who has fully awakened) with decades of experience training and teaching worldwide.

On this episode we discussed the mission of the EPRC, why it's important, and I ask Elon Musk to pony up some cash for the cause.

The Mission of the EPRC

What many might call “spiritual”, “mystical”, “energetic”, etc. experiences and effects, we refer to as emergent phenomena. We refer to practices designed to lead to emergent phenomena, such as meditation, psychedelics, yoga, prayer, etc., as emergent practices.

As emergent practices continue to scale up in society, our aim is to give healthcare systems, mental health providers, and those who are helping to teach and promote various practices the information they need to make better decisions about how to both promote the benefits of these practices and manage the different effects that they can produce.

The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium’s mission is to use ontologically agnostic, multidisciplinary, first-person, psychometric, neurophenomenological, biochemical, and clinical scientific methods to conduct studies on emergent practices and phenomena to generate clinically relevant information that can add value to practitioners, patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

By finding the skillful overlap of science, spirituality, religion, clinical medicine, and mental health perspectives, we can generate outcomes that are as beneficial as possible for all concerned.
