In grad school I was lucky enough to be in a program that allowed me to design my own curriculum (with guidance of mentors) and I focused on trying to understand consciousness from a scientific perspective. I explored many fields of study through this process including neuropsychology, psychoneuroimmunology, energy psychology, psychiatric and behavioral genetics (focusing in epigenetics), quantum physics, astrophysics, vibrational medicine, basically anything I could possibly explore that would give me a better understanding of consciousness that didn't involve "god" and "the soul". I finished grad school 3 years ago,
I have never, ever, ever, heard of an accredited university that gave grad courses in the pseudo-sciences of "energy psychology" or "vibrational medicine."
Can you tell us where this college or University is?
I'm sorry, but your background spins me for a loop. If it is for real, you are certainly one UNIQUE individual.
Why are you so interested in the study of consciousness?
Why not be interested in the study of consciousness? It's considered the "hard problem". What better problem to try to try to pursue, especially at a time in history where our technology is so rapidly advancing?
I went to Goddard College in VT, it's a "progressive" school. The design was such that in addition to meeting all of the requirements for my state licensing board (needed to do all the "traditional" course material), I was also able to focus in particular areas of interest under the guidance of mentors that were familiar with those areas of study.
