really loved the description of this individual's phase experience - very well written ~ 8-)
From The TASTE (The Archives of Scientists' Transcendent Experiences) Journal and Online Project managed by: Dr. Charles T. Tart, Editor
Allan Smith (real name) is trained in medicine and anesthesiology, in which he earned an M.D. degree. He has worked as a basic scientific researcher on the nature of anesthesia before his experience and at many professions, including medical ethicist, since then. He had received a national award for his research just before the experience and was one of the most promising young researchers in his field. This experience occurred in Oakland, California when Dr. Smith was 38 years old and sitting quietly at home. The experience has been written up in great detail and compared to psychedelic experiences in a published account.
